Starting a company to make gasoline powered cars MORE convenient is absolutely unethical. Any engineers working on this project should be ashamed for using their skills to make the world a worse place.


Hi I'm one of the founders. Many people think this upon hearing about the service but the logic is flawed because:

A) It does not consider that we are building more cost effective alternative fuel delivery infrastructure that can help accelerate the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles other than electric such as the Toyota Mirai and Honda FCX Clarity.

B) Does not consider that efficient gasoline delivery can reduce carbon emissions and the number of polluting underground gas station tanks.

Can you please share your analysis of how much your company reduces carbon emissions?


Aspirational economies of scale and future technologies developed by others do not change the fact that you have chosen to pour your life energy into selling gasoline from the back of a fleet of pickup trucks.
