TIL that the MT vs AT debate looks like a friendly discussion over tea compared to the "No EV no way" crowd that drops in on the EV threads in the Cadillac forums.

My favorite one is the guy who says he takes a very long road trip several times a year and that an EV would turn it from a 12 hour drive into a day and a half or 2 day drive. When you explain to him that the only difference between driving an EV and ICE are charge times vs fill-ups, and then proceed to show him using Tesla's road planning software (because he says the only EV he would consider is a Model S Long Range) that the difference is about two hours with six stops between 10 minutes and 40 minutes, he just basically says "don't try to confuse me with your facts".

Can't believe I'm actually defending EVs now.
