How about we just make tipping rounding and pay people a living wage? You know in Europe, eating out is not more expensive than it is in the US and they don't beg for tips. It's such bullshit here

No, it's more like 3-400. The key point here is not the range, but the charging time
This is not comparable.
The fuel is spent and sold. Gas stations usually only have a few days supply of inventory.
This is like holding engines in inventory to swap without notice on the spot. But in this case the engines cost $10k+.
The fee to swap is about $12...so you have to swap each battery about 800 times to break even. See how you're wrong yet?
The answer is massive government support. The cost of those stations has to be insane...imagine the inventory holding cost of those batteries
Exactly right, no one is going to show up with a fleet of cargo planes full of cash lol. It's a huge amount of money, but if you have several nations investing, plus private business, it could happen - long shot, but it isn't limited by the amount of cash that exists. He's basically talking about starting a massive industry in the US that only exists in Japan and Taiwan.
That is not how that works...
There is an excellent book called "Alaric the Goth" by Douglas Boin that goes into a great amount of detail into the cultural shift. A big shift was when Honorius stripped freedom of religion away, this served to move Roman society towards Christianity and reinforced the view of the tribes as barbarians.
And correct, actually incorporating non-Romans into the military was a great way for those tribes to attain a stable life after since they enjoyed the same benefits as Roman soldiers for their service. When that was stripped away, they also would be subjected to terrible treatment and often had poor provisions.
This was not the Vandals, it was the Visigoths led by Alaric I. The sacking of Rome followed years of rights being stripped away from tribal peoples as a new Cesar transitioned from a period of equality where the tribes enjoyed Roman status, to Emporer Honorius who stripped all that away. This also led to a period of famine and terrible treatment where they were viewed as barbarians, when in fact many left their Pagan ways behind to become Christians.
Alaric I himself was denied a generalship in the regular Roman army, an accomplishment that would have been granted before Horonius.
So, no, comparing this sniveling group of Trump Terds to the Visigoths is wholly inaccurate. It would be more correct to compare it to Native A.erican wars that followed the Trail of Tears, or any of the many atrocities we committed against native peoples.
Yes, eliminating a revenue source in one area means they will just price for it elsewhere.
I wonder if hydrogen is a better solution for commercial vehicles or semis that need to haul. I'm not aware of how they would perform, but EVs are not very practical for medium and heavy duty use
Hydrogen is not going to happen. It's wildly impractical and there is no infrastructure for it. EV is the way of the future, but Toyota's strategy is to bring customers along with hybrids first. Most of their lineup has a hybrid powertrain, and in most cases it is the same 2.5L HEV engine, just retuned for more HP on larger vehicles. The Camry up to the Grand Highlander and their Lexus counterparts use it. Meanwhile, if they are successful with solid state battery technology, it'll make the rest of the market obsolete. Their strategy is to make incremental steps toward EV vs trying to force the market into an EV.

The word you're looking for is etcetera. And unless you plan to return to community banks where you have to get to know the local banker to get a mortgage, you need this system.
I'm not sure how tying this to capitalism makes sense...lending is a risk, they are betting that you'll remain employed and will continue to pay them - there is a chance you won't and you pay a premium to get money now. Communist countries also have this system, but it is more centrally controlled by the State.
