"People just have inflated opinions about the technology."
It gets worse. They tend to claim that they are the virtuous infallible humane elite.
Yet they don't give a damn about the poor enslaved children in the Congo who have mined their precious Cobalt that infests their precious EV. So slavery was bad only in the USA 175 years ago but today they don't give that damn as long as they get their precious EV.
