It’s funny to me that you said politics. It’s politicians that convinced people that science is political. In reality, science that strives to be unbiased could never by definition be political in and of itself.

I don’t see my job as political. I help people. If helping people is now political, there is something wrong with politics. I have issues with deniers of truth regardless of their polotical leanings or lack thereof. As the old saying goes, we are all entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts. Anyone that tries to turn actual unbiased scientific data into something political can only ever have a motivatjon to distract you from paying attention to facts that would endanger that individual’s politcal aspirations. I mean to state this conceptually rather than politically, by the way. We aren’t supposed to discuss politics on this forum, which I try to comply with. It is sad to me that in this day and age even discussing how pollution has clearly increased the incidence of respiratory ailments is “politics” rather than simply a statement of fact, or at least the strongest sort of observed correlation. I suppose one could argue that stating something about the oil industry is political, although I really don’t think so when clearly the oil industry is actually responsible for the majority of the pollution. We have data and figures on these things.

The way the public has been programmed to respond to scientific data at this point is appalling to me. If we don’t have a neutral starting point we can all agree on (facts/unbiased raw data) then there is no way to come to compromises or understand one another when we differ in opinion or interpretation. Science and math were meant to be the ultimate standard in that regard but from my opinionated perspective this has been methodically and intentionally undone to get the public to a point where they cannot use these things as an agreed-upon standard and medical facts are now just “politics.” I would think any serious physician with the best interest of their patients in mind would have to have a respect for science in order to assist the population properly. Pity that other professions apparently do not have the same requirement.

All those features you mentioned are icing on the cake for me. What I like best is sleeping well at night.

My two cents.

Cheers.

Sorry but regardless of the extensive dissertation, it’s still politics.

I would guess I road trip more than 85% of Americans and I've been EV only for years. I don't get the range anxiety, EV road tripping (with access to the Supercharger network) is easy.

Last trip I was on required 8 Supercharger stops. At one I had to wait 5 minutes for a stall to open (oddly, because it said several stalls were open), at 7 it was in and out. Tesla has also gotten much better putting superchargers near 24 hour gas stations. A few years ago my night charging stops were frequently in dark and empty mall parking lots and similar places, where I was just waiting to be robbed. Only two of my last 20ish charging stops were of the shady variety.

We can agree to disagree then.

I live in Florida and can tell you first hand that if we lose electricity the pumps will go down also. Case and point I believe it was Irma. We evacuated out of St Petersburg to Gainesville. On way home electricity was out just about everywhere . Only one Tesla supercharger was out and on the App we can see everything as you know. Most gas stations were closed as couldn't pump gas. Those that were open the lines were so long (hours). We had no problems charging and no wait on way home.

The comparison to flying is apples and oranges. The 2 different ways to tell altitude are for 2 totally different reasons in flight. You could never use radar altimeter to fly at a specified altitude its sole used for ground clearance.

thanks for giving me your Irma experience, I will copy it and will use it. I had searched on the net for for some confirmation gas stations closed but charging was open, but all I got was all the haters their usual lies.
and also Thanks for setting me strait on radar and barometric pressure, I did not know that. I was trying to think of an example of two different ways of making the same measurement without getting off in the weeds of actual process safety that no one would understand.
