the EV mandate is what pisses me off the most lol

EV cars are massive piles of shit. I don't wanna constantly recharge that shit and wait in line behind other assholes trying to recharge their cars. which can take up to an hour. fuck that shit.

also, I like to go on long road trips sometimes and not have to worry about the cold weather draining the goddamn EV battery. imagine getting stranded in the middle of nowhere on a fishing/camping trip.

This is the solution, disconnect the battery plug and push it into the nearest body of water. No alarms, no gps and total loss. Also all EV cars have battery disconnects for servicing.
