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.

Indeed, if you want an impressively impractical trip in an impressively impractical custom built EV, you'll have to make due with the world solar challenge. 3000+ kilometers at highway speed, carrying more than 1 person, and entirely on solar power.

Is this satire?

- 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

Yeah, I am really confused too, given that the grandparent comment was making a pretty sane and relevant point. Sure it was a bit snarky and tongue in cheek, but it definitely wasn't something even remotely close to intellectually deserve a low-IQ attack (not even mentioning that those attacks aren't appropriate on HN regardless of the intellectual merit of the point).
