SUVs have no relevance to the question. In every EV, and modern cars, the location and layout of every component, especially the battery is a highly engineered process. The battery specifically is not only the most valuable component they need to store as much of as possible, it is the most heavy and most dangerous. Teslas blew up because the battery wasn't stored safely. Store it too high and you risk rollovers. This doesn't even take into account the danger of high amp battery packs being moved around and shared between vehicles. You're oversimplifying a very difficult problem

This will never work. Components in cars are engineered to be organized as efficiently as possible. The overhead from having replaceable batteries will kill the amount of storage you can have. There is no way you can have generic attendants swap out batteries in 5 minutes. Working with EVs is a dangerous job that you can't just pay an uneducated minimum wage worker to change. The batteries are extremely heavy and are placed in locations that you need a car lift to get to. Plus theres all sort of liability and safety issues from potentially messing up a battery swap or getting a bad battery and blowing up your car.

It has to be done in conjunction with protests by a politically protected group

After hearing about the drama and reading kf's pov, I can definitely understand why the people ddosing kf want it down. The stuff they do is illegal and absolutely vile but overlooked by the people in power because it suits their politics. It scares me as a prospective parent.

China supported this in a psyop. Remember when they tried repeatedly to push the origin of the virus to Italy? I'm ethnically Chinese, so I'm in contact with a lot of mainlanders. The brainwashing is very effective. Even if most mainlanders know that their state media is bogus, and that Xi is a dictator, they'll take it deeply personally when you say anything that threatens the whole China # 1 narrative. All they had to do was hire a few shitposters, feed a few media narratives and the US fights with itself over stuff like anti-china, racists etc, while the CCP takes over Hong Kong.

LOL. A good portion of cyber security attacks are government military operations. You think China or Russia is sad that hackers closed down our gas pipelines?

There are. Pedestrians don't care and will literately walk into open traffic. I've seen the same thing in every major city.

So you don't normalize walking where you're not supposed to.

Fucking stupid. I used to live in a college town where no one obeyed traffic laws. I can't tell you how many car on car, car in bike, car on people accidents were caused by dumbasses walking into open traffic.

There's different levels of jaywalking. There's walking across the streets when there's no car and everyone is doing it. And then there's the crazies who walk across open traffic on a green light where there are cars speeding along causing accidents. A large percent of the homeless and drug addicts in cities are minorities.

Thats not how networth works. No one has enough liquid capital to spend money like that. As soon as people found out Bezos was wasteful like that, his network would drop just based on stock price.

meta topics are what most people care about. "true dota" is a bunch of 3k players trying to give generic advice.
