For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Except every EV I’ve been in will refuse to shift out of park if the charging cable is plugged in. Otherwise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtS4h2az9Jo&t=48
It can be plugged in with the generator on, so no issue. Not that this image isn't fake as fuck - the generator isn't secured, and it's connecting the AC generator plug directly to the EV port with a cable instead of using an EV charger. There are (were) some actual attempts at this: https://www.ecomotorsnews.com/en/news/electric-range-a-battery-trailer-reopens-the-long-distance-mobility-debate
Not sure why, but there seems to be a lot AI slop that's basically this, except they usually have these ridiculous industrial generators with plumes of coal smoke.
That's a good feature. I swear one day in a sleep deprived state I'm going to forget to take the gas nozzle out.
