This is an absolutely STUPID idea. If it’s fair to tax everyone at the same rate, no matter how much use the get out of a product(roads in this case), then just drop the fuel tax and tax ALL vehicles equally. No business exemptions either! It’s not like business vehicles don’t cause most of the road wear in the first place.

Gotta love the irony of the plans of a company like Meta being thwarted by environmentalist regulations..

The lastest information I can find shows BYD and Tesla are the only companies selling EVs at a profit, with Stellantis selling some models at a profit in the EU. Unless the other manufacturers learn to build EVs at a profit, they'll go bankrupt or be very downsized to selling only niche-market cumbustion vehicles.

Same here. So cool, in fact, that I made a mental note of the fact that it was cooler than any of my recent iPhones.

The US buys around 1 million barrels of oil EVERY DAY from this corrupt regime. It's beyond time to cut off support for Saudi Arabia.

Most people have aligned themselves with Satan and his lies. Since AI is really nothing more than a glorified parrot, it can only spew back compiled results of what it finds online, which is made up mostly of postings that are "allowed" by those aligned with Satan's way of thinking. God doesn't lie or deceive, so He is arguably at a disadvantage. The ideas and morals of those on the right tend to be more aligned with God's methods, morals and thoughts, so there are definite rights and wrongs, good and bad, moral and immoral behaviors, etc.

Book banning/burning as an example comes down to those on the right, with "Godly" morals not wanting evil and immoral content placed in front of the eyes of their impressionable youths. The left is fine with this content though, as there really is no abosolute right or wrong, so they justify these materials as freedom of speech and inclusiveness. It really is simply a matter of good vs. evil unless you are on the left and don't believe there is any such thing as good or evil, God or devil.

Governments have no right to steal funds in order to redistribute wealth. It's just one more example of a corrupt system of government.

Now why were these folks allowed to operate as if they were a legitimate business?

Very true. This is partially alleviated by people being able to charge at home, so other than long road trips there is never a reason to visit these roadway charging stations. Even apartment-dwellers can normally have level-2 chargers installed where they normally park overnight.

This is silly reasoning. Most people only wear one set of clothes per day, so why do people have 23 shirts in their closets?
Refrigerators are huge, and yet the food eaten during a day could fit within a single cubic foot of space. Such a waste, right?
When you need the range, you need it now. You can't charge every 36.2 miles just because that's the average number of miles driven by the average US vehicle. This is such a ridiculous argument.

The difference is DC motors vs. AC motors. The Tesla Roadster, S and X all use 3-phase AC induction motors for efficiency. As far as I know, all other EVs use brushless DC motors.

AM radio signals are easily distorted and blocked by stray RF (radio frequency) signals. Lightning, high-voltage power lines and EV inverters all create loads of stray RF. If you had an EV with an AM radio, the only time you would be able to use your AM radio is when the car is parked.

The NTSA stats show that ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle fires occur at 10 times the rate of EV fires.

Go get 'em, FTC! Their cancellation procedure is criminal. Good luck even getting someone to answer the phone if you call.
