I believe we can make a self-driving car with only optical sensors that performs as well as a human someday. I don't think today is that day, or that we shouldn't aim for self-driving to be far better than human drivers.

The whole premise of ABS brakes, which all cars made in North America since 2012 will have, is specifically to allow you to maintain control when you fully apply the brakes. Unless you are a professional driver or have a car without ABS, you should just fully apply the brakes in an emergency stop. Please stop telling people that fully applying the brakes will reduce manueverability when it won't for the majority of drivers in the developed world.
And if someone's vehicle doesn't have ABS, they should know how to properly brake without locking their tires, and when it won't be appropriate to use them.

I would absolutely do the same as you, but I think I've seen pictures of ebikes with that exact load. It looks insane, but good for them!
It's within specification, but it isn't optimal.
One thing to keep in mind is that you don't need the infrastructure of a gas station to have an EV charging station. My wife borrowed my car the other day and topped up at an apartment block. Only one place I went to could be charitably called a gas station, the rest were car dealerships and malls. But I'm also fortunate enough to be able to use an L1 charger at home and work so I tend not to use any.
I recently bought a used Nissan Leaf. No regrets so far, hoping the battery needs to be replaced before my warranty expires. There's a good chance...
This is the case with all newer cars. If you're avoiding EVs for privacy then the same reason applies to any car with OnStar, OTA updates, apps for your phone (remote start, locate, etc.) Or pretty much any car made in the last 10 years or more.
I definitely appreciate wanting to protect your privacy and will readily acknowledge that any EV will make that a problem. But almost every car made since the Tesla Roadster has the same problems. Now, if we could get our respective governments to pass laws stopping this BS, that would be really nice.
It has been know for at least a decade, I think, that the GSM chip could still contact cell towers while the phone was powered off. I'm sure its successor hasn't lost that capability.
Who would be the bad faith actor here? Wiwynn? If they don't have an order, that's going to fall flat pretty fast. Seems like a pretty risky bet at $60 million. Twitter? Then it isn't Wiwynn's problem, Twitter can take care of their bill, and deal with their internal issues.
I wouldn't describe taking over a company and then not fulfilling obligations incurred prior to the purchase as good behavior. Would you?
There are a number of less optimal combinations, as well, such as XXY, XYY, and XXYY.
