So typical of the Democrat Spin Machine.
"Anybody?"
I am so glad I traded in my Toyota hybrid, which was a great car, just before the crash last summer. At the time I got more than I paid for it. Now, I’d lose almost half.
Into whose campaign coffers did that $5 billion go?
As long as the “big guy” got his 10%, democraps don’t care..
Another one of 10,000 reasons why government is making you poorer.
with no government mandates, automakers could supply gas (and especially diesel) cars that would be simple, cheap, and could last 1 million miles, without needing computers to run them to manage their fuel consumption.
The green energy scam is built on zero interest rates, massive debt, globalized supply chains, and trust in government
All those things have reserved or are in trouble.
I’ve always disagreed with leftists and their generally stupid ideas. But I’ve grown to despise these people deeply because I know they are deliberately out to harm this country and anyone who doesn’t kowtow to their beliefs. They are mortal enemies and no quarter should be given. We have to fight them at every turn.
Yep. Absolutely. This looks like an “in your face” situation for Leftists.
They get to steal taxpayer money, and laugh about it, because nobody is going to do anything about it.
IMHO, the fad of EV's has died down and EV prices are down to their intrinsic value (though with an artificial boost in price from the EV tax credit, just like other tax subsides boost prices in tuition and such). And an EV's intrinsic value is related to gas prices. Also right now, Biden's handlers have lowered gas prices during election season, which IMHO is downward pressure on EV prices (less demand for EV's if gas price is lower than it was a year or two ago).
If the vote fraud is contained and Trump goes back into the WH, gas prices will go even lower and, likewise, EV demand will go down lower. But if Xiden stays in the WH then gas prices will skyrocket again and EV prices will also go back up. (Maybe not as high as before because the fad value probably won't be recreated. But more people than today might see an EV as practical if they drive a lot of miles and want to avoid $5/gallon gas.)
"Overexcited comment"?
"Overexcited" only if you don't work in American automotive manufacturing, sell American cars, or don't think a functioning and profitable automotive industry is essential to the overall health of the American economy.
EV’s were/are nothing but a fad so the virtue signalers can make themselves morally superior to the rest of us proles.
The whole point is to make personal transportation unaffordable for the masses.
Correct. Everyone has to move into a 15 minute city with affordable public transportation.
My ‘05 F350 V8 Turbo-diesel disagrees..
Other things IMHO are you ought to be married so that you have two cars anyway, with the other car being a gas car for the times an EV won't do, and live in a warm climate, and have a place at home to set up a home charger. Look up most of the road trips you make and be sure that there are plenty of charging options (otherwise in our case we'd have to take the old gas pickup). Last but not least, be in the market for a car anyway (it was time to replace my wife's car). Only if all of those conditions apply should one consider getting an EV. But if someone's in that situation, an EV might be worth considering.
Biden doesn’t give a fig about the environment. His big push to EVs is based on the simple fact that carbon industries support Republicans and capitalism. Green companies are dependent on Democrats, government subsidies and mandates.
P
I think Biden enacts these radical policies to prove he’s a bigger badass than Obama. It’s petty oneupmanship at the expense of the country.
True. Biden gives the far left free reign on his policies.
I sure had a good time this morning driving uptown for my free oil change on my 23 SS with 6,2 L V8. Coming back home was the fun part traffic cleared out
