The bigger problem is all the DRM and inability to do basic repairs.

Once it’s spent, it’s spent. Traditionally cars were quite fixable.

You should be able to drop in after market batteries with improvements halfway through its life. But manufacturers don’t like that idea.

There’s a big chunk of the world where EV’s are impractical due to infrastructure.

Hybrids might play a role there. Even more so hydrogen will play a role.

It’s going to be hard for the west to accomplish the infrastructure needed. For other parts of the world it’s even worse

Once enough people switch to EV’s the economy of scale for gasoline fails and prices cyclically increase. For the west this will hurt a tiny bit but money will fix it.

For poorer parts of the world it will be hydrogen and EV’s to fill in that gap until electrical infrastructure can be sufficient.

I’m not sure iMessage and SMS/RCS will be allowed to be in the same app going forward in the EU at least.

My interpretation is that would be unfair under the proposed rules. Apple would need to make iMessage a separate app jailed the same way WhatsApp etc are or open up the API’s in such a way they can all integrate the same way.

I think this is more “for now”.
