He charged to 100% at home, but didn't think he had enough to get home so charged to 100% in OKC before heading back to Tulsa (~120 miles). Obviously not what he should've done for time efficiency, but the bigger issue is needing to charge in the middle of a 240 mile trip.
I do plan on telling him about A Better Route Planner.

Did you appreciate the ice in the urinals?We stopped at a gas station/convenience store right off the Interstate to charge with a bunch of Tesla V3 Superchargers. Tesla route planner navigated me to the charging station. I pulled in with 19% and within 20 mins I was back at 80% and we left. We barely had time to use the bathroom and grab a snack.

My sense of it exactly. I'm going to stick with my Pooper and my Hardbody. The newer-vehicle plan is now just a contingency.As far as emissions go, airplanes are worse too, although container ships are bad too. Look at an airline tracking site, it's mind blowing how many planes are in the air at any given time. All that carbon emissions is happening at high altitude too, so it doesn't even matter if we try to plant more trees or come up with some super duper carbon capture tech when the CO2 is that high up. The carbon capture tech would need to be onboard each plane and be efficient enough that the planes clean the air rather than pollute. I don't see such tech happening, not to mention doing anything to the engines that involves running the exhaust through something would affect performance.
Even if I have a gas truck I make up for it by using all electric yard tools like lawn mower, chainsaw, snow blower etc. Those type of engines actually pollute more than car engines.
If the price was right and serviceability was not an issue an EV would be nice but just can't justify the cost, and risk. If it breaks down it can cost a lot of money and you're without a vehicle for months.

He has a machine that unmixes the air and make CO² go to stratosphere.What in the world
Doesn't CO2 sink to floor level if released in a room? Or doesn't the evaporated gas from dry ice go to the floor?He has a machine that unmixes the air and make CO² go to stratosphere.

I think we're going to suffocate ourselves. Then we should move to higher elevations. But all the people with COPD like me will not be able to breathe at those heights.
Oh, sure! the weather will take care of it, and mix it all up!

Did they solve the platform problem? Apparently their battery pack assembly plant was having issues.Ohman… That Lyriq is sweet! Jelly!!!

Nothing is complicated about it, it just shows a frankly hard to believe lack of understanding of basic physics and common sense. Air mixes. There’s no magic keeping airplane pollution at 35000 feet.I don't know what's hard or complicated about that statement. Airplanes pollute high up, that's where the greenhouse effect is the most present.
Trees and land based carbon capture take care of CO2 at lower levels but no tree is tall enough to capture CO2 at air traffic heights.
7% is a huge deal, especially when it comes without any serious impact to quality of life …Well, the long and short of it for me is the percentage of carbon pollution.
There's no certainty that the technology will become exclusively electric. They're experimenting with hydrogen.. We speculate about the prevalence of electric in our investment decision of vehicle purchase.
Meanwhile, the push to EV is only addressing 7% of the climate carbon pollution problem. 7% won't mitigate anything. The other 21% would, if there were a fix.
I can't think of any other avenues for replacing carbon. They'd have to resurrect nuclear power.
Personally, I think civilization is doomed, unless they can scrub atmospheric air and turn the CO2 into limestone or cement. Then we can worry about when fossil fuel -- particularly oil of any kind -- runs out.
