I can't conceive of a world without politics and religion (loosely defined) because those are the only mechanisms to derive value and assign social authority. A world without those things is comatose; a vegetative state. That's the only way for humans to be technically living, but without meaning.
You know very well that the context is,that once the vehicle is manufactured,and in service,that it's 'fuel' source is renewable.Politics and religion has never been part of my consumer calculus.I have no personal experience with a world like that.Your example has no resonance for me.I experience no shortage of 'meaning.'
While humans have probably never experienced life without hierarchy,some probably have existed without politics.
We're not allowed to discuss religion.
