I can't imagine the refueling smell or even process, as it's one of the worst. I could be wrong, perhaps your car won't smell like bad sweat and you wouldn't need a breathing mask to refuel, but
At least I was trying to make a point, which you seem to be vaguely against. So how much electric do you believe is used in to create gasoline?
Musk's recent turn to free-formed reactionary bullshit had been quite distressing and I'm sorry that I confused you by using a controversial figure as part of the conversation, but that's the sort of mistake that his own staff reportedly avoids. It's said that his staff actually practices before the meetings to keep everyone, including Elon on topic and focused toward the important goals, rather than meaningless dick swinging.
While it varies by the difficulty of creating the end product, most don't realize the tremendous amount of electricity used simply by the processing and transportation of crude oil and it's consumables. Musk once claimed it was about even with the electric needed to power his EVs over a similar distance in an ICE car, but most calculate it about 4 Kwh/gallon, which is about 2/3 of his claims. I've seen articles discount this further by claiming refineries produce some/much of their own electricity, but that the power generation aspects won't go away and instead will likely become a net generator in the short term.
Also important to understand is the timing of the charging, which is naturally done at night when electric suppliers are often giving discounts for 'using off peak'. Even most of those who travel longer distances to work and then use level 2 chargers in the parking lot (cheaper/easier) will do most of the 'filling up' in the mornings before A/C cooling 'peak hours' in the afternoon.
As a 'non-Tesla' EV owner myself, the number and even condition of privately owned charging networks does need work before I can confidently do road trips. However, I do nearly all of my charging on a normal household plug (110v) in my garage and don't yet even have 'the dryer plug' needed for the level 2 capacity, yet I rarely even leave the house with less than 100%. While people who use random street parking will still have problems, most apartment building parking lots can adjusted with charging stations for residents. As the average price per kwh is about 15 cents and level 2 chargers will consume about 6 to 8 kwh (less if you're just 'topping off'; as cells become full charging slows) one can easily see restaurants and other businesses offering 'free charging with purchase' with a cost of a about $1/hour per carload.
They rarely if ever revolt against a strong oppressive force.
Revolt? At least one in three will join into any intractractable, easy to follow power that seems to be dominant in a society. It's a basic human survival instinct used most often by the least capable people that has held back human progress since the dawn of civilization.
Didn't you hear? Military drones are all the rage and there surely is need for something that could capture and retrieve satellites for examination or conduct sabotage. Maybe shooting a glaze on the solar panel, or frying the electronics. One generally doesn't want to create explosive debris in orbit, unless real chaos is the goal, but it could even be armed with satellite killers for high orbit use. Also, there is talk about space tugs which could boost orbits, refill propellent or garbage/hazard collection.
The calculations for home installations are generally said to be about a 20 year payout on used energy (including roofing costs, which ain't free) and there are commercial solar installations being installed under loans with insurance/reinsurance using plenty of hard math business/banking calculations. While it depends on the location, solar investment payouts are starting to beat more traditional energy investments, this trend will continue as the solar panel industry continues to mature.
He who steps on others to reach the top has good balance.
