Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

See that's where your argument for gas vehicles breaks down. You're not going to be running a refinery in your back yard. Gas vehicles require a ton of infrastructure. It's just much more widespread currently.
Lets assume you're doing 200 miles of driving each day (you're the one insisting on using a full EV battery daily), that's 2 days per gas refill. Assuming you're siphoning gas from nearby vehicles (since there is no electricity to charge EVs or run gas pumps at the local station), you're going to run out of gasoline very quickly in your local area.
So while I can agree that day-to-day an ebike is decent transportation, assuming it's safe to be outside in the sun for such extended periods. A gas vehicle is absolutely terrible in an apocalypse. An EV works well for decent range and will sure as heck get your further than going on foot.
