DieselElectricI sometimes wonder how today’s media is going to be seen in 10-20 years, when EVs are much faster and cheaper than gas cars so they’ve completely taken over.
“Mommy, why do the cars on TV all make fart sounds?”
Electric cars are an attempt to save the automotive industry, not the planet. Demand public mass transportation and walkable cities instead.
yeah at some point we will have to get rid of cars and i’m saying this as a car guy because they are just terribly inefficient
What do you do with rural location where people already live?
There’s a vicious circle where the less public service you’ll set in a rural areas the more people will move away from it. If you want people to moove back from dense to rural areas you got to give them some decent services.
You can also have bus services to train stations. The busses would just need to be less frequent, so you would need to plan your travel further ahead of time. There is no reason we can’t service most of America with some public transport options.
hoersy?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !micromobility@lemmy.world
Electric cars will still be making fart sounds in 10-20 years. They already sell cars that generate artificial engine noise and play it through speakers.
And yet the electric Mustang is totally silent. I’m still not sure how to feel about that, or the fact that someone decided that a muscle car should have an electric version
There’s also an EV Corvette…
Fast and Furious on bicycles and suddenly shifting through 21 gears isn’t unrealistic anymore.
I’d actually watch a movie with a high-speed bicycle chase, provided the whole thing was played completely straight.
A downhill mountainbike chase through a dense city would go hard
Premium Rush is basically a bike F&F.
I saw a helmet cam chase from Brazil recently. Like 6 or 8 minutes, and damn. The cop and the thieves deserved some sort of awards for that action sequence. It was a riveting start to finish, but it was motorcycles. I believe the suburban area they were tearing through is referred to as a favela(?), but mi no habla Portuguese/Espanol, whatever they were speaking

Just imagine a F&F movie based one European gas prices.
I live my life one stop at a time. For that few minutes at a time, I’m free.
They’d be on mopeds, escooters or ebikes rather than the bus surely.
Oil prices peaked in summer 2008 at around $150/barrel. Gas cost around $4/gal average nationwide. Prices are lower now in both nominal and inflation adjusted terms than they were 15 years ago.

With Gas? Too Spurious.
It’s all about the familia.
