My brother in Christ you are the traffic
Plot twist: photographer is the first car inthee lane
One more lane would fix this!
Never been to a city before, huh?
This looks like a normal day in Tampa.
Public transport for the win :D
Trust me bro, just one more lane
because trains are too expensive or something
Traffic jams would be a whole lot less damaging if they were all electric. Just sitting there with the AC and radio on is a whole lot less emissions compared to fossil fuels.
The two issues I have with current EVs is you can’t work on them and they don’t last as long as gas vehicles.
I have a old suburu and it still runs fine
Its also worth remembering there is a lot less maintenance to do on an EV. No oil to change, lubes to replace, belts that break…
Besides the batteries, an EV car should last longer than a gas car.
They have the same components except the engine, but they weigh more and the batteries dont last as long as a well maintained engine. EV cars should not last as long.
It doesn’t though. Electric cars full of DRM
DRM… which makes you need to replace belts, and oil?
I didn’t say they were easier to work on, just lower maintenance. On my gas car i need to change the oil ever 6 months. You dont need to do that with an EV.
I’m mostly referring to the “smart” features. Modern EVs are a not designed to be taken apart and understood
I prefer a rock solid public transport system, and plenty of safe walking areas and no-car zones. EVs help minimally in the grand scheme, since they are costly to produce, especially the batteries.
Good luck with that, though. If this is America, and I think it is, we find ways of making a good public transit system suck. I also think we need to take a hard look at how our towns and cities are desined as well, and make them to where they’re optimized to be able to drive into a central location then bicycle or hoof it to whrever you wanted to go within a couple miles.
Yea, that only works for cities. America will still need tons of cars for everywhere that isn’t a city. It’s a very low density country, all things considered.
Been there before. We recently had a semi truck tip and spill thousands of frozen French fries across all lanes of the highway. They closed it completely down for hours. People were literally reversing on the highway to back up to the nearest exit. It was terrible
This is why I love trains
Exactly. This could be OP’s commuting view but he playin
Fuck fuckcars
I don’t know if this counts as “mildly” infuriating, I’d be freaking OUT with a traffic jam that long, especially if I had somewhere to be at a certain time!
