They seem compelled to keep doing it rather than being a slacker IMO.
In my opinion, they all need to use rechargeable batteries for quiet and to save the people and animal species of the planet.

It is a good thing that there are NO rules about insulting other members of this fine community. Rules would limit our so VERY intelligent conversations.

IMO battery technology is not a realistic substitute yet. Rechargeable batteries do not last long enough, take too long to recharge & don’t supply consistent power. While visiting Dallas, the Tesla charging station by NW Highway was constantly surrounded by angry young people who couldn’t even get into the charging lot while they awaited access to a port. Not enjoyable to regularly encounter. My friend drove her Tesla from TV to LV. Took her 4 days including several multiple hours-long charging stops while she was stuck in her car while waiting. No thanks.

If ‘insult’ is another word for fact checking outrageous and inaccurate posts, like ‘the State of Maine is flat’ or ‘Astro turf is safer than grass’ kinda intelligent conversations .....I for one accept any punishment that comes my way
