You just said the same thing with different words...

Now if you mean at my apartment, then no, that won't ever happen. The cost for the landlord to install would then be passed down into the rent and rent is already gotten out of hand. It would make sense if I paid for it myself, but i honestly don't believe the power coming to the building would be adequate to support 10+ charging stations. And I wouldn't be able to take it when i leave, so I would just be out thousands of dollars for nothing

Everyone always forgets about the people who don't own homes.

I rent an apartment in a tiny rural town. I would basically have to visit a charging station every time I planned on driving anywhere, especially with the incredibly poor cold weather range you get with current EV's. So sure, I might save a few bucks on fuel costs, but at a great loss to my personal time, that's just not worth it to me. Maybe one day we'll be there, but it won't be anytime soon.

Imagine a future like this: You finish your day at work. On your drive home you stop to top up your hydrogen powered car (hydrogen was produced using renewable energy sources), it only takes a few minutes. You get home and plug your car into your house. Your car now provides all the necessary power to charge the battery bank in your house.

"...stolen teardown walkthrough..." Please explain how ifixit can steal from ifixit? Both the video and the person who wrote the article work there.

But yes, the bug/recall issue is a very real thing. I would be curious what the parameters are that trigger the warning.
