  • This is mostly because people are dumbasses.

    People who went the official route, getting a permit and going through a company were ok as they stayed in air conditioned places most the time. These people spend upwards of $5k and much more.

    People who couldn’t afford it went through unofficial routes and were forced to sleep outside and had to walk everywhere and even some had to sneak into makkah through the fucking desert.

    Islam doesn’t force people to go through pilgrimage unless they can do it both physically and monetarily. Also even of the ones that went through the official route MANY of them are super old with medical conditions and shouldn’t have even boarded the plane.




















  • Coming from a third world country (Egypt) these are the major problems with EVs according to my conversations with other locals:

    1. Can’t charge at home. Many people live in densely populated buildings where they park their car on the street.

    2. If they would install chargers in front of their buildings, they would cost a shit ton because of the current exchange rate and they would get stolen because of the price and the fact that they’re out in public. Situation is so bad here that even CAR EMBLEMS were being stolen.

    3. Repair. There’s barely anyone trained on them, and since barely anyone’s buying them spare parts are rare.

    4. Longevity. They won’t last as long as an ICE because of the battery wear, especially with the heat we get in the summer.

    5. Price. Currently there’s only high end electric cars since only the rich have single family homes with garages. There have been “startups” that basically showed off some cheap Chinese electric cars that can only go like 30kmph but that’s pretty much it in the cheaper price point

    That’s pretty much all i can remember.
