Fortunately, I have a pi-hole and Ghostery installed in my browser, so they shouldn't have gotten any ad revenue from me.
BUT, knowing I gave them the satisfaction of seeing the traffic...not cool. I should probably blacklist the sun altogether

The first point is laughable...... an owner might forget to plug it in?......LOLOL. This guy isn't an expert, he is an idiot.
Point 2: Regenerative breaking?.....OMG, ITS BRAKING.....BRAKING not BREAKING. You push to go, let off too slow...how fricking hard is that?
Point 3: "Expert".....Normal, Illinois...... is made in Normal. PaaK is a great feature....some people want a "pin code to drive" added...which I can see might be useful.
This "expert" is a joke. He didn't mention that most people are leery about getting an EV because they don't understand charging behavior on the road. They are worried there will be no places to charge. We just got back from a 600-mile trip from NorCal to Disneyland.......never once did I get worried about being stranded.

We can laugh about it and make fun of it, but the fact is people believe this stuff. They are quicker to believe an "ordinary guy" than an "expert". That's the sad state of the world right now.

That happened right around the time " experts " decided that politics were more important than truth. Unfortunately these days just about everyone is full of shit. I suspect its always been that way but with the internet everyone can fact check instantly now.

The troubling thing is that anyone can probably find something on the internet to support their version of, “the truth,” no matter how related to or disconnected from reality it is. The internet has almost become the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four.
In case people reading don’t get the reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministries_in_Nineteen_Eighty-Four#Ministry_of_Truth
I first read the novel in 1983 and all of the concepts seemed completely preposterous then. Now? Yikes.

Yeah it's a double edged sword for sure. That's why my belief that sunlight being the best disinfectant is always proven true. As a society we've lost the art of debate, and politicians and other supposed authority figures tap dance around questions instead of answering them. We have to get back to getting real debates and real discussions to find the truth. Things won't change until we all stand up and make them change.
