I’ve had a policy since day one of not blocking anyone. That was back when there was genuine debate.

No longer. I’m here to talk EVs with people who are interested in them, not bots, trolls, and halfwits.

And I still don’t follow accounts that talk politics. That won’t change.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@ThagJonesII Given that you’ve decided to attack me rather than debate the idea, I won’t interact with you any further. Have a good one.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

Apparently I remain the only person who can see the traffic problems that empty robotaxis driving to their next job - or waiting for a job - will cause.

Not obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain, somehow.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@PalmerLuckey @carlhancock Cybercab will do a majority of all passenger miles in any jurisdiction where it is not prohibited by law.

Obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@ThagJonesII You’re making a whole lot of assumptions about me there that you have no basis for.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@RuddArjen I’m not sure that cars driving around empty efficiently is a good thing.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@ThagJonesII I’m just pointing out the obvious problem here and I don’t know why you need to resort to insults. Grow up.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@CaptainCook731 Well, no, there will be fewer cars in number, but more of them on the roads at any moment. More traffic. My car isn’t driving around empty when I’m not using it.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@IDK_fellow I’ve explained all this in the dozens of replies to other comments. Go read those.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@MgbgtH Now compare that to five and ten years ago.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

Just wondering whether hydrogen cars have taken over yet? Anyone know?

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@ExploringSpace2 I agree, but that’s not what Elon’s post implies or the Tesla Stans believe.

@AlesInvests 8am - Robotaxis drive people from the suburbs to the city
9am - Robotaxis drive empty from the city to their parking lots in the sububs
4pm - Robotaxis drive empty back to the city
5pm - Robotaxis drive people home from the city to the suburbs

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@dricky2011 Worse.

8am - Robotaxis drive people from the suburbs to the city
9am - Robotaxis drive empty from the city to their parking lots in the sububs
4pm - Robotaxis drive empty back to the city
5pm - Robotaxis drive people home from the city to the suburbs

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@ResPartner Because it will be empty once it has dropped someone off. It’s unrealistic to think the next passenger will be conveniently waiting where the last passenger exited.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

We need to just do a thing where if someone wants one of these generic midsize SUVs, they just put their name down on a centralised list somewhere and you get given whatever is available next. They won’t notice or care what it is.

[hotwheelsjack97 @hotwheelsjack]

This and the Toyota both look like the Nissan Rogue to me or maybe I’m just tired

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

Good of Polestar to include a cigarette holder in their new car.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@EVdriver241254 Wow!

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@mikeelliott01 @BigJKU316 No, private cars driven by people who are not Uber drivers.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@digibruce @Grimpler9 Maybe.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@DnDegen @sellthedip6 @bob161610 Impossible, I’d be off the charts.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@ursabterminator @St_Kalimna And supply, which is the current problem.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@mikeelliott01 @BigJKU316 No, because Tesla believes they will replace private cars.

[EVCircles @EVCircles]

@IronKNOB1987 Reduction in total number of cars in existence, yes. Cars on the road stays the same.
