Electric vehicles promise convenience, clean energy, and a futuristic driving experience — but the engineers and regulators pushing the transition still don’t understand the lifestyle they’re demanding from real drivers.

In Part Two of this series, The Tenth Man takes an EV on the road: across the state, through a blizzard, and into the baffling maze of buried touchscreen controls and charging confusion. Why can’t remote start work while the car is plugged into unlimited power? Why is pre-heating the battery hidden behind one specific navigation app? Why does every tech designer think eliminating buttons is “progress”?

EVs are fast, quiet, and fun.
But the human-factors engineering? A disaster.
The infrastructure? Still lagging behind.
The policies? Written by people who don’t drive the technology they’re forcing others to adopt.

EVs aren’t the problem.
The system around them is.

Electric Vehicles: Part Two — on The Tenth Man.

Debunking the Housing Affordability Myth

In this episode of 'The Tenth Man', the host tackles the pervasive myth that housing has become unaffordable for younger generations due to the actions of Baby Boomers. By dissecting misleading comparisons often circulated by influencers, the host argues that the quality, size, and features of modern homes have drastically evolved from those in 1970, making direct price comparisons invalid. The episode also addresses how influencers use deceptive statistics to stir outrage and asserts that affordable housing options still exist. The key takeaway is that today's housing narrative lacks truth and is driven by misinformation aimed at generating clicks rather than offering genuine guidance.
