There was a song written about this... People asked themselves this question for quite some time.
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell
Of course you're early. But don't tell me people who married in their 40s haven't been able to mess up their marriage either. It's your mistakes to make. And who knows, it might just work. C'est la vie.
Well, none of what you say is wrong. It's just not the point. There were other options besides tesla - and while they were different (e.g. I'm well aware of the small golf battery), they were there.
You say that for you it was the only decent option. Fine. But not the point. Maybe your usage profile warranted what tesla offered. But "Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then" is just wrong. That's all I said.
Regular cars are capable of lasting until they literally break down and die.
These don't exist anymore. If they do, it doesn't matter if they move by burning fossils or electricity. It's not a matter of EVs being movable smart devices that will be left behind eventually, it's a matter of cars being like that.
Had Sony smartphones for years. Loved them. The real issue with Sony nowadays is imho their terrible update policy which only offers two or three years if updates iirc, which is so much less than other players it was a dealbreaker for me. Last time I had one I could flash a custom rom but the camera was locked to the original firmware, with the default mode being much worse than the one Sony offered - which I considered a dick move. Dunno how they behave with their current phones though.
Just checked, the phone will supposedly be updated until 2031, which isn't bad. Battery, camera, display all seem to be fine.
Turned off the video after a few seconds. If you don't want to use words, don't use them, done, but having several beeps in a sentence for benign words just makes this unbearable to watch.
Can you please just fucking stop this?
