Maybe to you, but you know other people do exist .... and some don't need 400 miles autonomy ....
I myself rarely drive more then 50-60 miles .., and if I needed to, I could rent a car , a van or whatever for that occasion ...
As for batteries, technology would respond to the demand ...
I remember my first cell phone in 1988 , the phone was huge and heavy, the battery lasted about 12 hours on standby, 1-2 hours talk time ... Today, we know how it is .. So if a guy like you would have said at the time :
"I don't need a phone that can't give me a few days of autonomy, I have a paget and I will use payphone when needed .. "
Amazing how right wing people are against progress....
