No, it’s still GMO. My usage was vague, that’s on me.

This is true. I should have specified that geographically GMO is a bad thing here because it’s typically associated with creating hard tasteless produce that can survive long haul transportation

Come to Canada and eat any of our supermarket strawberries, they’re disgusting.

One of my Italian tour guides last year was so confused when I explained how our produce is nothing like what they have there. Strawberries are sour, not juicy, and white inside.

We do have some good local strawberries during the summer. This is why, to us, GMO is a bad thing

Genuine question, where are you from?

Where I’m from GMO is used to prevent ripening and damage during transportation which results in weak tasting and tough produce that can survive long distance transportation.

GMO has negative effects too, it’s ignorant to think otherwise.

Typical NA strawberries are GMO and suck though

I didn’t know that that is

I got permabanned for asking mods to do something about the shit posts that violate their rules.

You forgot about the cost of a transmission. Your 20 years don’t seem to be helping here.

You’re trying to compare apples to apples in terms of functional components, but that’s disingenuous and completely misses the point. I’m comparing the most expensive components that degrade over time and with use as a cost of ownership - both ICE and EV have expensive components that may need to be replaced after many miles and time, discrediting one and not the other is asinine. Every ICE I’ve owned has gone to the scrap yard, but somehow it’s only a problem for EVs, which BTW can have 99% of their lithium recycled and re-used.

Yes, and replacing the battery essentially gives you a new drivetrain. It would cost near the same price to replace an ICE engine and transmission (using dealer pricing), hence propaganda.

I did the math and an ev would be about 1/8 the price in electricity versus gasoline. I don’t know what backwards place you live in, but that’s not the norm. Then there’s the lower cost of maintenance and repairs which further makes EVs cheaper.

Replacing the battery makes it essentially a new car from drivetrain perspective.

Also, Leafs typically last as long as gas powered cars. Gas cars have the same problem - the entire engine and transmission are expensive to replace and the car is usually scrapped. The problem you outline is not unique to electric cars.
