The cost of maintaining roads is astronomical in c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml
[–] tpid98@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

Has anyone done a study to see if rail is cheaper to maintain than roads? Good public transport infrastructure would go a long way to preserving road conditions and keeping traffic lighter.

If only there was a way to get all of those people there and back home without a car. in c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml

I am sure many here have seen this, but this photo seems very informative on the waste of space that is parking lots.

Discussion is needed on this topic. At one point in the first video they actually talk about the price coming down once they can start mass production. My opinion from the sidelines is that the market for this product is still in the pre-Elon Tesla days when their first roadster was NOT cheap and handmade, and when it was more a proof of concept. Create the product to create the market. I wish them luck.

Still in development, but certainly a step in the right direction. Seems a perfect runabout vehicle to get you to public transportation and to get groceries on the way home. Hopefully wider adoption can bring the price down. It would also function as a grid connected battery as mentioned in this "Living on Earth " segment. https://loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=24-P13-00035
