> Needing to buy a different kind of car and dying from cancer are ever so slightly different experiences. But thank you for the kind of absurd HN take that inspired my username.

It’s not absurdity, it’s analogy. If you can’t distinguish between the two then HN may indeed not be for you.

It's an absurd analogy. It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. You wouldn't call a cancer treatment that fails to cure a minority of people "fine", so EVs aren't "fine"?

lol that was the entire point of the analogy. congratulations, you seem to have accidentally stumbled onto the point, but at least you got there. :)
