Yes but you are a practical and logical person, a small minority. Everyone else is buying $60,000 F-150s. The Chevy Bolt is a well-engineered and practical EV that you can buy for around $25k. And they can’t sell them. Mushy middle doesn’t sell in ‘Murica.

Protectionism, that’s how.

Just imagine all the corners Elon would cut to make a $25k electric car. People constantly complain that Teslas are too expensive when the average vehicle price in the US is approaching $40k.

Average household income is $69k so takehome is probably $50k. A financed $40k car might cost $50k with interest. You just worked AN ENTIRE YEAR for that vehicle. Was it worth it?

Bannon bilked Trump followers. Trump pardons Bannon. Followers rejoice. Irony, schadenfreude, and cosmic justice all in one package.

I’ve got some PB and it’s good stuff. For tough rust though, I reach for Wurth Rost-Off. Unfortunately it costs more than most of David Tracy’s vehicles.

You’ve solved the wrong problem. Finding a spot on the side of the road is not the issue, it’s crossing the lanes of traffic to get there while slowing down. If the AV is alive enough to do that, it can find a spot to stop.
