Reminds me of my zealously religious family members, they can take any argument and twist it into supporting their beliefs.

Aren't the Republicans the reason why this began?

Please find two brain cells to rub together to understand the context of the original comment. You've gone on a complete nonsensical tangent akin to mental illness

This is about advertising to children within the platform and how tiktok intends to protect unethical advertising to children

Source? Examples?

I tried googling, can't find anything that supports these claims

Edit: third party advertisers abusing tiktoks advertising algorithms is not on topic to the original comment that tiktok itself specifically targets children, and tiktok has addressed these issues.

You can downvote all you want, but I've still not been provided any proof that tiktok specifically targets or intends their platform to be for children.

I'm not dismissing the original claim. I'm genuinely curious, but I need logical discourse, not users with mental illness going off on complete tangents.

If you have any cognitive thought or opinionated source that tiktok is a bad faith actor towards the safety or health of children, I'd love to read it. My company builds software, so knowing the failings of tiktok to protect children is in my interest.

How?

You forgot about the cost of a transmission. Your 20 years don't seem to be helping here.

You're trying to compare apples to apples in terms of functional components, but that's disingenuous and completely misses the point. I'm comparing the most expensive components that degrade over time and with use as a cost of ownership - both ICE and EV have expensive components that may need to be replaced after many miles and time, discrediting one and not the other is asinine. Every ICE I've owned has gone to the scrap yard, but somehow it's only a problem for EVs, which BTW can have 99% of their lithium recycled and re-used.

Yes, and replacing the battery essentially gives you a new drivetrain. It would cost near the same price to replace an ICE engine and transmission (using dealer pricing), hence propaganda.

I did the math and an ev would be about 1/8 the price in electricity versus gasoline. I don't know what backwards place you live in, but that's not the norm. Then there's the lower cost of maintenance and repairs which further makes EVs cheaper.

Replacing the battery makes it essentially a new car from drivetrain perspective.

Also, Leafs typically last as long as gas powered cars. Gas cars have the same problem - the entire engine and transmission are expensive to replace and the car is usually scrapped. The problem you outline is not unique to electric cars.
