Seriously, what is the point of developing an electric car if you believe cars shouldn’t exist?

Well hallelujah, friends... the right-wingers have finally found a pretext that none of us can beat - they messed things up so badly that none of it can be fixed, and nobody should even try. I don't know why they just don't go public with that - they already have one believer right here.

You do understand that there are more uses for batteries than cars, right?

How many people still use plastic containers? How many people still drive cars?

Plastic containers did't fall out of the sky - neither did cars. The people who benefit from their production doesn't live on Mount Olympus - we can strip them (and the political structures that enables them) of their power and fix these things. It's not some pipe dream or an ideal - it's literally the only way to guarantee humanity's continued survival on this planet.

but they aren’t grounded in reality

The only thing you seem to have "grounded in reality" is that the destruction of literally everything should be "compromised" with. It seems the only thing you are willing to do is compromise - but I guess that's where the money is, huh?
