Yes unfortunately EV's will not be able to be heavily modified by engineering teams for impractically long cargoless scooter trips at 40mph. Such a shame they will only be useful for virtually all practical trips.
Why are you on Hacker News when you clearly are not a Hacker and don't have the IQ to understand such a simple, interesting point OP is making.
Is it jealousy because OP travels and they want to hack it out even further than the normal model gives them? Why put them down otherwise?
What EV cars do is exactly what is happening here, they are highly aerodynamic and weight reduced, at the cost of practical things. They have to, to get distance.
- dubious IQ (dIQ) measuring
- incorrect accusation of “putting them down” immediately following an ad hominem attack
- unspecific “insight” that EVs sacrifice practical things to get distance, when the parent and OP were both basically saying the opposite: EVs sacrifice distance for practicality
