You clearly didnt read the post, let me highlight the two statements that make your comment unreaasonable:

If you are in a situation where a flat is high impact (driving into the bush, etc) then you need a solution, and you should prepare for that.

Firstly the address the possibility of driving in remote areas and state you need to prepare in that case

But for the vast majority of drivers, and especially EV drivers, a tow truck is actually a solution, because they are almost always in a metropolitan area.

And then point out for the vast majority of EV drivers that isn't in their risk profile

So your whining about "whaddabout da rockieezz" shows you simply didnt read or comprehend.

You're being like the idiots who whine "but I need to drive a thousand miles in one go while towing a 6ton trailer so an EV is useless for everyone on the planet because it doesn't work for me"

Wow, so not driving in a major city is now "driving in the bush". Also, driving outside a major city is also = to towing a 6ton trailer.

It literally couldn't be to see family that don't live in the same city, going to another major city, camping in well maintained national parks, going to an amusement park that isn't in a major city.. Nope, it's either major city or hauling giant trailers.

Hint, maybe you should go out sometime and see how short sighted your vague definitions and answers really are.

Forgot to add that quite a few airport long term parking lots don't have signal either, and with most being fully automatic, this doesn't end up well. But hey, this must be also considered "driving in the bush"/"hauling 6ton trailers", huh?

Mate I grew up on a cattle station where the next nearest house was a 100km away. I know what living in tge boondocks is.

I also know that this use case is a very small minority of people, AND HE ALREADY addressed your minority issue.

You can keep trying to be hard done by or accept that your situation is representative of less than 1% of EV sales

How moronic. If you think cellphones stop working once you leave major Metropolitan areas, maybe it is you that needs to actually get out and go somewhere. You think amusement parks and airports don't have cell coverage and that a flat tire in one of these places means you're stranded and alone? Jesus christ.
