Yeah, for even two hundo, I'd be considering buying this as a fun accessory.
For five hundo? Nope.

I'm speaking here about EU and UK politics, can't speak for the US. It's actually quite usual to do it this way.

I know it's not actually true of course, but if faced with an unfamiliar t-junction while driving or perhaps I'm just out on a walk to get some distance in, that's how I think of it.

Interestingly, though admittedly this is purely my anecdote so take this as such, this translates to driving too. Unknown place, just driving for fun, reach a t-junction and have to choose? To me left = "towards where you know" and right = "going further out". Even if that's not actually the case, that's just how my mind sees it at first glance. Wonder if that's also looked at, and also if it's affected by location (I'm in the UK, so would drive on the left).

My EV I charge overnight and draw 22kWh per night given my commute, for 7p per kWh. My range is 90 miles, so a spot of converting tells me I pay $2.06 for 90 miles of range.
Seems ok to me.

Which is why it gets ridiculous. You can build an oven with a few conveniently shaped rocks. You can build an over with raw river clay, then use that oven to make better bricks, then use those bricks to make a better oven, which you can use to make even better bricks.
So, all it takes to turn somebody into a greedy capitalist exploiter is...the ability to stack rocks into a box with an opening.

You buy some flour for a dollar. You use that flour to bake bread. You sell that bread for two dollars.
Why the price increase? Because you've improved the capital.
