Only an idiot would buy an EV to reduce their costs
If you have a paid off ICE car you will not be saving money
EVs lose big on DEPRECIATION and insurance costs
If you're leasing, you are burning money regardless
Fuel prices are only this high in the UK to sell 'new' EVs that were sitting on forecourts for years
Taxes account for more than half of fuel cost, of which any reasonable country cut weeks ago
Prices should still be under £1/L
the car market:
new cars all electric or hybrid
manual gearboxes almost dead
newer sports cars cost insane amounts + too quiet due to noise/emission regulations
all heavier and wider
old sports cars rare = massive inflation
running costs astronomical
what's the point?
The other night I was driving in pouring rain, fully dark, and the car randomly lost GPS.
No location. No navigation.
Which also meant no FSD.
I tried two software resets while driving just to get GPS back. Nothing worked. So there I was, manually driving in terrible conditions, unsure of positioning, no assistance, no guidance.
And it genuinely felt unsafe. For me and for the people in the car.
Then it hit me.
This feeling - the stress, the uncertainty, the margin for error - this is how most drivers feel every single day.
No FSD. No constant awareness. No backup.
We’ve normalised danger so much that we only notice it when the safety net disappears.
