    I understand the need for electric vehicles but what I really want is reliable public transportation. And not just within cities, I’d want it between cities. Like, imagine if you could take a train from Columbus to Seattle? And not some gimmicky train like what Musk is always talking about. Just a regular train that you could take instead of needing to fly or drive. And within cities imagine if you could just take the train everywhere and only need a car if you have to go to the country side.

    Maybe I’m just a train nerd, but every time I see trains and other public transportation in Europe and Asia I get incredibly jealous. I’m down for electric vehicles, don’t get me wrong, but the infrastructure still isn’t there for most places. And the price for new cars and EVs is ridiculously high for what they are. Like, more than I make in a year in some cases.
