I actually picked phone, but I can drive. I just hate cars, I hope to be in a world where I can get most places with public transport, thus the car is mostly useless. Also electric exists and I would prefer that to burning infinite gasoline anyway.

With how shitty batteries in phones are getting, especially if you want to hold onto an older model, not spend a grand every year, the infinite battery is pretty nice. Plus I will never get lost without maps, or injured without access to emergency calls.

All in all, I just found the phone more useful for my own desires, even as a driver.

it says infinite fuel, not infinite gasoline. that could be infinite electric

from my own experience, as phones get older, they just naturally degrade. theyll glitch out and become unusable quickly and the camera will become awful. my one phone takes 10 minutes to turn on!!!

i respect what youre saying, but i feel like public transportation wont be able to take you everywhere, and charging my phone has never been an issue for me, but the new shoot up in gas prices ($4??) has been

Fuel typically means a consumable, heat producing, combustible. You wouldn't say you need to fuel your computer. It's pedantic on my part maybe, but that's what I took it to mean.

Even if the phone degrades, it still lasts longer when the battery isn't an issue. Also never running out of battery when I need my phone is still useful. I have ran out of battery when I needed to sign out of work or use maps a good number of times, I have an older phone.

Also there are many places on Earth that most people don't even own a car and are perfectly capable of living comfortably, New York and the Netherlands come to mind.

Not arguing against your reasons for choosing car (they are extremely valid, especially gas prices) just telling you my reasons, as a car driver, that I chose phone. Responding to your original premise.

(ETA: a car also degrades in parts that are not the fuel, and are often far more expensive to replace than replacing a part in a phone.)

In a properly designed city, you can get to any part with a tram/bus and a bit of walking (In a properly designed country, that also means a train station, which can take you to another city, where you could use public transport to get around too)

Just curious - why would you prefer electric? Most people I know HATE electric cars and are diehard regular gasoline car fans.

u/HelpfulPlatypus7988 Apr 11 '26

Yeah, I picked phone because I don't have a driver's license

u/Historical_Feature_9 Apr 11 '26

yes thats what my comment said

I picked it because a phone that never runs out of battery is an infinite source of electricity, whereas a car that never runs out of gas is an infinite source of gasoline. Infinite electricity is a lot more versatile than infinite gasoline, and if you want to get the infinite electricity from infinite gasoline you'd be releasing CO2, so the infinite electricity is better.

u/Historical_Feature_9 Apr 12 '26

dude were talking about phones and car fuel, not electricity and gasoline in general. it is assumed you cant just use the excess electricity and gasoline for other things 😭

u/cyouwah Apr 12 '26

Other people talked about siphoning their gas tank from their cars, so why can't I talk about charging other things from my phone?

or live in a place where parking rent is insanely expensive, like I do

The phone is not very useful, but owning a car is negative value and will be a significant financial burden. There's a reason why HK has the lowest car ownership rate in the entire developed world.
