    That’s not as bad as I thought. Do you still have to plan your route out to make sure you have a charger available? Do you ever get stuck waiting for someone to finish charging?

    I usually end up going 1,000 miles or so in a single day. Maybe stop to get gas 2 or 3 times for a couple minutes each time. Ends up being 13-16 hours, so try to keep the refueling to a minimum so it doesn’t carry over into another day.

    Not sure how I could charge in my family’s rural area or if they would even want me using their electricity even if it could use a regular outlet.

    Ideally I think I would prefer some sort of simple battery swap. Also would need another company, I wouldn’t buy a Tesla just because of Elon.

    I would say guns are different because they are literally deadly weapons designed for the purpose of killing. However, the right to bear arms is also in the bill of rights and guns can be used to save lives in certain situations.

    Guns could be argued all day but really it’s a straw man that’s distorting the scope of the discussion, which is on Airtags.

    Airtags aren’t dangerous devices that need to be regulated. They are useful for tracking lost and stolen property, pets. They can’t directly harm anyone. I believe it should be considered as evidence for stalking, and using any tracking device to enable crimes should be an additional criminal charge. Using it without someone’s knowledge could itself be considered a crime, or grounds for a restraining order.
