Why Don't EVs Come With Spare Tires? (insideevs.com)

You clearly didnt read the post, let me highlight the two statements that make your comment unreaasonable:

If you are in a situation where a flat is high impact (driving into the bush, etc) then you need a solution, and you should prepare for that.

Firstly the address the possibility of driving in remote areas and state you need to prepare in that case

But for the vast majority of drivers, and especially EV drivers, a tow truck is actually a solution, because they are almost always in a metropolitan area.

And then point out for the vast majority of EV drivers that isn't in their risk profile

So your whining about "whaddabout da rockieezz" shows you simply didnt read or comprehend.

You're being like the idiots who whine "but I need to drive a thousand miles in one go while towing a 6ton trailer so an EV is useless for everyone on the planet because it doesn't work for me"

Hint, maybe you should go out sometime and see how short sighted your vague definitions and answers really are.

How moronic. If you think cellphones stop working once you leave major Metropolitan areas, maybe it is you that needs to actually get out and go somewhere. You think amusement parks and airports don't have cell coverage and that a flat tire in one of these places means you're stranded and alone? Jesus christ.

Mate I grew up on a cattle station where the next nearest house was a 100km away. I know what living in tge boondocks is.

I also know that this use case is a very small minority of people, AND HE ALREADY addressed your minority issue.

You can keep trying to be hard done by or accept that your situation is representative of less than 1% of EV sales
