The newer EVs are switching to heat pumps for managing battery temperature. It's more efficient than resistive heat, and can use the same system for cooling. This helps maintain range both by keeping batteries the right temperature and by doing it more efficiently.
And who in Winnipeg hasn't heard of what happens if you let your gas tank get too empty in extreme cold?
Your whole plan is to show them how things would be better if they just followed the EUs lead. Imagine you're on a boat. There are a bunch of holes in it and you want to patch them up, but other people keep putting holes in it. So one day you lament, "Why can't these boat-holers stop putting holes in the boat so we can all stay afloat longer?" And then someone comes along and tuts you saying, "Now now, no name calling. If you don't want to put holes in the boat, just stop and show them how much better it will be!" The problem is, the boat's still sinking, and faster all the time, and if the boat-holers don't quit it, a whole lot of people are going to drown. Moreover, putting holes in the boat is not only cheaper than not putting holes in the boat (let alone patching it) you can make more money putting holes in the boat! Given that context, can you see how the people who want to stop putting holes in the boat would get frustrated with the people putting holes in the boat, and would be baffled by someone more concerned about the descriptive pejorative than they are by the other guys putting holes in the boats?
I don't have to do nothing while waiting for delivery. I have to cook to...cook. Sometimes I don't want to cook, and I usually have something quicker if that's the case, but your false equivalency doesn't help your argument.
If people were doing this, how would you know? And if other people aren't, what do you expect the people who are to do about it? Are you hoping for a Streets of New York scene where the non-intrusive Christians duke it out with the loudmouthed Christians until only one group is left?
I'm not saying what you're saying is wrong, it just doesnt address the question of the guy who responded to you.
Your perception of what a psychopath is colored by media portrayals and what notable psychopaths have done. Not all physicists are like Richard Feynman, and they're all at least reasonably smart.
What you're describing is a psychopath who is stupid. They do stupid things because they are stupid, and they do psychopath things because they're a psychopath. They aren't going to lead the police on a chase across the country after a string of murders. If they kill someone, they'll probably be caught the very first time. The reason they will kill will be somewhat less nuanced than an intelligent psychopath's reasons, but that's the smart vs. stupid difference - they're both psychopaths. Neither will feel remorse, neither will feel any compelling need to achieve their goals by not harming someone else, and both would do it again if they felt the circumstances warranted it. One will just do it in a way where he might not get caught and the other won't think that far ahead or will do such a poor job of it that thinking ahead won't help.
Intelligence and good behavior aren't inherently linked. Also, there's good evidence that some part of the Neanderthal population was bred into modern humans.
I had a mouse problem once upon a time, and the new "humane" traps didn't actually kill them. I got tired of bludgeoning them with a shovel and drowned one, thinking it would be easier. That was brutal and horrific, and I went back to using the shovel.
If they have control of updates, they can withhold updates or deliver malicious updates. So they may not be able to make them drop out of the sky*, but they can send an update that makes them completely unable to take off, or even crash upon takeoff.
*But they could install a kill command to turn off engines when a signal is received.
