gollark: Well, then you can use... a non-electric car, for now.
gollark: It's not like you need most cars to be able to satisfy every eventuality.
gollark: As I sort of said, I think having a personal car around all the time which is designed for really long trips and incurs a lot of expense that way is kind of wasteful.
gollark: It could be done partly manually for now anyway.
gollark: It would be pretty good, though. You could actually replace dying parts (curse nonreplaceable phone batteries!), get upgrades as technology improves, and with eventual infrastructure support swap batteries at stations on roads or something.
