Someone mainlined the EV Kool-Aid there.

The other point is battery life. EV batteries are warranted for only 100,000 miles or 8 years, after which they must be replaced at costs ranging from $10,000 to $30,000, which means the EV has 0 resale value.

Batteries also lose charge capacity. An EV battery at end of warranty will hold only 70% of its original charge.

Then there is the fire issue. NYC’s fire department recently noted that electric scooter battery fires are now a major safety issue and a major cause of fires in the city, over 100 so far this year. The scooter batteries have to be brought into apartments for recharging, and the fires frequently cause injury and even death.

The safe assumption is that whatever an environmentalist tells you is a lie.

Why won’t the U.N. Green New Dealer freakazoid contingent work to bring personal autogyros to the American mass instead?

Perhaps because the American mass is now deep, deep down into the physiognomical death spiral due to the quote-unquote thought leaders’ own catastrophic quality-control failure and sabotage?

I know how to fix it; I know how to pull back from the brink. Deep down, everyone knows.

Yeah, the low wind part is important. Trying to land a plane in a heavy crosswind is a bitch. That’s a major barrier to getting a pilot license. It was for me, for sure! If crosswind landings get safely automated, it will open flying to a lot more people.
