We saw the problem of car dependency fucking up the environment, and in true capitalist fashion; the auto manufacturers said "why don't we fix this with more cars! ☝️😃"

These new enormous electric cars are almost completely irreparable if they break (and they WILL). The manufacturers don't sell replacement parts for them. The cars themselves are overly complex and the price to fix them is often more than the cost of the car. And the people who buy these things are statistically likely getting a new one via trade-in every ~5 years.

And what happens to the old ones? Scrapped. Nobody wants used EVs for all the reasons above. There's already so many of these fucking things in scrap yards. Nobody wants parts from these things because nobody fixes them because they are not made to be maintained and repaired.

I refuse to believe that I am causing more pollution by maintaining and driving my shitbox manual mustang that is 30+ years old when the average "environmentally conscious" EV owner is going to be partially responsible for literally tons of e-waste within ten years. And in ten years, hopefully I'll just get to brag about having a 40+ year old daily, which is objectively cooler than any brand new vehicle.

What we ACTUALLY need to do to save the environment is to kill car-centric infrastructure, so the majority of people don't literally need to drive in a personal vehicle every single day. We need public transportation and we need places you can walk.
