I hated the camera bulge and in display finger reader on the 7 so much that I downgraded to a 5

It's not a myth at all, and Tesla's "rating" is a lie. Look at data on Prius battery packs and what Toyota rates them for(100-150k). I understand I'm comparing a hybrid to an EV, but there is much more data and I actually trust Toyota.

Buying an EV with 100k miles and the original battery pack for 20k is a bad idea.

The Maverick is nowhere near a success. Powertrain issues aside, it was nearly impossible to buy the $20,000 trim of the truck. Sure you can buy a $40,000 optioned out hybrid version, but a used Frontier or Tacoma is a much better option for a $20,000 truck.

I guess I have some not so unique experience. I was given a DUI in 2011 during a routine traffic stop. They officer cited I cut the protected left turn too tightly. The officer then said he smelled marijuana, even though I was currently smoking a normal cigarette. I was arrested immediately, my blood was taken, and being an occasional pot smoker, THC was in my blood, I got a DUI while completely sober driving to work at 9 AM.

This happened to a US comedian that built an alternative donation platform to Patreon. The banks all black listed his platform and closed his personal account.

In response he built backed.by a blockchain powered Patreon alternative. It is impossible for banks, governments, or even the creator of the site to terminate subscriptions to creators.
