Corporate sponsored study finds in favor of corporation.

Stay tuned for the news at 7.

Yeah wtf. The steel frame is going to last an order of magnitude longer than the batteries

I see someone's never lived near salt water or snowy winters.

Or salted snowy winters

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I think the salt is implied with snowy winters. Very few places with ice roads don't have some sort of rock salt or salt brine they put down.

Many don't, I've heard

Some use beet juice. Leaves everything looking like bloody murder but its good for the soil and doesn't rot your car out from under you.

I think there's a scaling issue. I wonder if there's even enough beet juice to completely replace salt.
