in the event of societal breakdown it’s gonna be far easier to siphon some gas tanks
Yeah, but those are finite and already in the possession of other people, and there are tons of gas guzzlers consuming it at all times. How long do you think those tanks will last? The sun won’t go out.
But we agree, cybertruck is to big, heavy, not mobile enough and too high maintenance for this. E-bikes all the way to be honest for personal transport, e-kei trucks to haul cargo.
i guess i was a bit unclear. my strat would be to leverage the greater availability of gas and ICE vehicles to get by in the short term until i could scavenge enough gear to power an EV. because yeah you’re totally right, eventually all the gas will get burned or go bad but the sun ain’t going nowhere.
I think it’s just differing cultural expectations, here every second house has some panels but I am not sure I could get gas if the power went out because all the stations are unmanned. Also, most cars here seem to be electric.

Yeah that makes total sense.

yeah i’m in the rural US, there’s panels and EVs here and there but the combustion engine is still king for now
