2. People think that they're saving the environment, while they're not -- the precious resources that are used to make these batteries and such are depleting and you're not saving the environment at all.

3 You're able to 'fill up' at your own house (with the proper equipment) and don't have to stop at the gas station anymore.

What happens if you use the free energy from the solar panels on your house? That seems to me to be more efficient than oil-powered cars and certainly cheaper (assuming you don't but a ridiculously expensive electric car that will take you a lifetime to recoup the costs of).

I think an even better solution is to reduce the need to go anywhere in the first place. The digitization of the world in all aspects will make the need to physically go places much less important.

Seriously? Not everybody wants to be stuck at home behind their computer screen every waking hour. Why bother having a girlfriend when you can just sit at home and fuck a sexdoll and just sit in your own filth all day whilst jacking it to online porn?

Why travel the world when you can just look at pictures or watch a movie?

Are you telling me you'd rather sit at home than experience that in real life 3D? Looking at pretty pictures or a film with great cinematography is great and all, but there's something about experiencing the real thing and in the moment that just can't be beaten.
