Here in Australia I busted someone with a locked Facebook profile who apparently worked at a ford reseller lying about Kias EV9.

He did the whole laugh emoji and called me a stalker, but deleted his message a few minutes later (probably got a call from his employer who I tagged who was probably worried about the legal repercussions). I pointed out it was libel to lie like that

hating EVs is a lifestyle choice for too many people in australia

car goes vroom vroom and stick shift goes shift shift is honestly a lot of fun in responsible amounts. it will be a battle to undo the carbrain propaganda in people, including myself.

Actually.. Just noticed one talking shit about EV's who works for Land rover.

But yeah, I've realised the same people talking shit about EV's, tend to be the same people causing issues for everyone.. They always have a locked profile (because they troll that much), they're often anti-vax/anti-science and they're the kind of toxic a-holes who were buttheads in high school, and continue to be.

I guarantee they also stocked meat and toilet paper during the pandemic, and tend to leave trash when 4wd'ing

It's the policy of an entire political party. Remember "War on Your Weekend"?
