   They still are. They only exist to solve some non-problem (man-made climate change) by creating something more environmentally destructive (mining lithium). Even if man-made climate change and peak oil are real there are better ways to approach the problem. Stanley Meyer (the real entrepreneur that we needed) tried to solve that problem himself, but he was murdered by the government.

   >Cheap nuclear energy
   Everyone who has claimed to have discovered it, died mysteriously. It's clear that the government is trying to suppress that technology. It won't happen unless this current system is either overthrown or reformed. Same with any other technology that will actually benefit us rather than suppress us.

   >cancer cures
   Recently, people have claimed that ivermectin and fenbendazole can cure cancer or are at least much more effective at treating it.

     @cvnt @cjd @nicol Hybrids are fine, I guess, but I think the real solution (if man-made climate change and peak oil are real) would be something like Stanley Meyer's water-fuel cell. Also, I don't think there is a single Tesla vehicle that doesn't have any smart-car crap.

     They have really good torque, can't put that back in the bag. Hybrids at minimum just for that.

     @cvnt @xianc78 @cjd @nicol yeah electric motors are no joke, that's why locomotives use a diesel generator to drive an electric motor.
     
     The problem is that if you use a cybertruck to tow as an example, the real issue is that the range absolutely sucks. Some YouTuber did a test, it'll out tow a Cummins in a mountain at higher speeds, but then your battery is absolutely drained from doing so while the Cummins can go farther on a single tank.
     
     EVs are never going to replace diesel or gas trucks, period. It's more likely you'll see gas engines in big trucks due to the lower maintenance costs.
