Writer for Electrek.co. EV driver since 2009. Tired of social media misinformation & hoping its better here (but tbh never liked twitter anyway so I probly won't spend much time here but we'll see)
Thanks! At first I had planned to discuss the exploitive and overwhelming marketing effort, for a company that claims not to advertise. But I just kept thinking of, and finding out, more and more ways the whole thing is ridiculous. It probably would have been better as several articles 😅

Notably, mass producing EVs didnt sound insane, robots that walk have been around for decades, and Tesla didn't build reusable rockets.

Since 1950s there has been one single 2-year period where republican Senators had more votes cast for them than Democratic ones. Since 1992 republicans have been on a losing streak for the presidency (incl 2024 where their candidate isn’t allowed to hold office). This isn’t future tense, it’s past

Correction to this article. EVs do not produce more brake dust, because EVs barely use the brakes. I covered a study on this here electrek.co/2025/05/27/a...
Another way electric cars clean the air: study says brake dust reduced by 83%
Exhaust isn't the only impact of cars, they also emit tiny brake particles. Thru regen braking, EVs reduce that (but bikes are even better!)

Also, I notice that the link you used for support of that statement only mentions tires, not brakes. This is because there is no support for the assertion that EVs produce much brake dust.

Some data here, by the way: ourworldindata.org/environmenta...
Dairy milk is worse in all ways than almond milk is, including water use, by a huge margin. Yet we hear so much more about almonds than dairy, for some oh so strange reason that couldn't possibly be related to the industry's size in CA.

Dairy vs. plant-based milk: what are the environmental impacts?
A growing number of people are interested in switching to plant-based alternatives to dairy. But are they better for the environment, and which is best?
