How are you the more intellectual, if you can't understand the difference between the state of matter Gas and gasoline?
Also EVs use gasoline too because many power plants are gas fire. It's just a more dangerous less continent more expensive way for consumers to use the same fuel to drive their over sized iPad cars.

The big screen trend might be coming to an end thanks to enhanced distracted driving regulations coming into force in Europe. The TV-sized screens might not be legal for too much longer.

How hard is it to put a little LCD screen in-front of the steering wheel and a similarly sized LCD screen for the radio? It's not hard. I don't hate that the radio is a touch screen. How big the centre screen is and how minimalist the whole design is makes me think that they want to get rid of the steering wheels in the future and force you to only have AI drive you off a cliff and you only have this dumb cheap looking iPad to try to program you destination into the car. "Just use voice commands, silly" they'll say. No. It never works. Many places do not have computer friendly names. The GPS gets simple words wrong all the time with the text to speech, now I have speech to text and I will never be able to predict what garbled mess the computer actually wants to hear. It's the bad visibility and viewing angles that upset me the most.
I do, and I think it should be illegal. With knobs, you have tactile feedback, so you can operate them by touch without taking your eyes off the road. Touchscreens are intrinsically less safe.

You'll notice on airplanes that everything that is needed in a hurry is a button, knob, switch, etc. Touch screens are making minor in-roads for non-critical items like typing messages (737 Max TCDU) or entering frequencies or updating GPS. But bouncing around while trying to type in "K"...."J"...."F"...."K" is good fun.
Nikola Tesla did not discover electricity. They had Laden Jar capacitors [wikipedia] before Tesla was born. Free Mason Benjamin Franklin sent a change around a bunch of people in Pairs to demonstrate electricity before Tesla. Nikola Tesla did invent using alternating current (light) to transmit power over the electrical grid. Before this they [GE, Thomas Edison, Westinghouse, JP Morgan] were trying to do it with direct current (DC), but the amperage required to make it work was inefficient and very dangerous. More dangerous than touching a live power line. Electricity has been known about since before the Ancient Greeks.
Tesla invented other things too. He was the first to use AM radio for radio control. He made a radio controlled boat to demonstrate this. There are some other inventions, but they are more controversial.
They have had that Sodium battery technology for as long as they have had Lithium batteries. The only reason that story gets popular is so that EV people can cope about having fire hazard cars and pretend that all the real problems with EV will be worked out in a few years and they can forget about all the "backwards nay say-ers". Batteries have the same mass at any level of charge. A gasoline tank gets lighter the more gasoline is consumed; same for planes and plane fuel. Sodium batteries have lower voltages, so you need more batteries for the same voltage as a lithium or a different battery. If Sodium batteries are really safer, which I don't believe because they say the same thing about LiFePO which still release hydrogen gas when changing, when they standardise on Lithium Ion the companies knew about the safety risks and still decided to use the more dangerous battery. It's not the success story people want it to be.
