We had to stop talking to them about the possibility of buying an EV because they kept bringing up irrational arguments like this one.
No matter how many times we reminded them that, in the two-plus decades we've been driving, we may have towed something maybe twice. Maybe.
One of our existing cars doesn't even have a towbar. The horror!
The irrational hatred / fear is real.
