Americans buy lots of trucks and SUVs because they occupy an imagined frontier, as much as a real, physical one. Catering to that with batteries will never work.
Only by reframing EVs around the self-sufficiency of home charging and low mileage of actual daily driving do you play on their home turf

if mazda would just put an all electric miata on the market you wouldn't need the bot therapist
"I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle," says Roger Davis, a Cybertruck owner.
Davis also uses the Grok feature in the car: "Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist."

I don't think it makes sense to get furious at strangers on the internet who tell people that all is lost just as I think it's ridiculous to get mad at strangers who say all is not lost.
We can just keep doing our things either way.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"
That's... usually not the case!
In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.
We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

I waited in line with strangers and I remember we were all excited for what this day meant and what it gave back to us. I felt immense gratitude to the nurses administering the shots and the regular citizens organizing everything around us. Why was this memory holed!
