My neighbor has one that he parked outside under a tree. Lo and behold a spot of rust appeared on the rear quarter panel after about two weeks of ownership. He promptly wrapped the thing in purple/green perlescent which looks exactly as good as you’d imagine. Thankfully he parks it in the garage now so I only have to see it occasionally.
Agree with almost everything you said here, EVs are definitely significantly cleaner than ice vehicles but you’re oversimplifying a little when it comes to brakes and tires. Some cheap evs are going to drum brakes but the vast majority of modern evs are using significantly larger brakes with softer pads than equivalent gas vehicles due to the acceleration offered by electric vehicles. Its possible that as time goes on and electric vehicles make up a bigger market share of economy cars this will change.
The bigger issue with clean EVs is the insane amount of rubber they use in their tires. I’m not sure where you’ve heard the tires on EVs are roughly equivalent to ICE, sue to the weight increase EVs use much bigger tires that wear down faster than gasoline vehicles and I’ve read a few studies about the possibility of these tires throwing more “marbles” or small pieces of rubber than their lighter ICE counterparts. All this not to mention the increased road maintenance required by doubling the weight of the average car in the last thirty has me concerned were trading toxic fumes for other forms of pollution.

Is Dropbox worth using? I used it probably ten years ago and it was fine, but I’ve been using mega.nz for small file transfers between devices and as a backup for really important stuff I want to store in more than 2 places.
