gollark: If you buy iPhones, you encourage Apple to do silly things. Don't buy iPhones.
gollark: Most trips are *not* that long, and I figure for long ones, if there was more automation and efficiency in the process, you could rent a longer-range car temporarily (in some hypothetical world where this is a common thing).
