One has to wonder who creates a fresh account just to troll against EVs. Fossil bots perhaps.

I'm not a bot but I regret posting that as my first comment and to be honest I didn't read the article before it was just my thoughts from prior knowledge. I've been on Hacker News for many years but decided a week ago to make an account.

Still you have a good point, one should be skeptical of what is written by bots.

Right. So as the other poster mentioned the elephant in the room regarding road damage are trucks. And as a fellow biker I'm completely with you on infrastructure, but still see EVs as a massive improvement on ICEs.
What's even worse is we're seeing some relatively-new accounts basically commenting LLM summaries of the article; it definitely looks like a way to "fake age" accounts.
Can't rule out automated manipulation and bots on any social media site these days.
