They should just kill all these subsidies that just help those rich people buy new cars. That does nothing for a non-homeowner who can’t ever afford a new car. Let BEV’s compete in a free and fair marketplace and the superior technology will win anyway. No need for subsidies.

It’s good that Tesla wants to ramp up production, but they need to be very careful how fast they do it. Their product is not very compelling and there will soon be even more choices out there.

With the nearest supermarket 18 miles away, it’s just too far. Not to mention too dangerous on the highway.

In my job at the supermarket, I would have to listen to Christmas music nine hours a day, six days a week, for over a month. Most of those songs weren’t all that good either. Then when I came home, my wife and daughter were playing the same music. They said I was a Scrooge.

Yes it is. We can do both. Make the transition smooth and affordable so energy is not something just for the rich.

You hit the nail on the head. Explaining the hard realities is difficult for some to accept.

My ‘88 Chevy Nova. It had Toyota Corolla running gear, got good gas mileage, and was a perfect family car. I put 330,000 miles on that thing before I finally gave it away.

I give it six more months before used car prices subside. By then the supply chain issues should be completely worked out and demand will go way down due to unaffordability.

Exactly who that would appeal to.

If I were looking for a reliable everyday driver for under 13k, then NP. A museum piece or collector car, then ND.

5th gear- Don’t hold your breath waiting for the flying taxi thing to become a reality. I’m an old man still waiting for my nuclear-powered flying car promised in the 1950's. All we got was a cartoon called The Jetsons.

Toyota seems like the most practical car company on earth. It’s obvious it will be difficult, if not impossible to mine enough rare earth materials in the next ten years, not to mention increasing our grid capacity to meet the demand for electric vehicles. Full electric is still ten plus years away. Hybrids sure sound…

There is still a lot of range anxiety when it comes to full size trucks and towing. Eventually, BEV’s will win, not because they’re “greener” but simply because it’s just better technology. As with any new technology, first are early adopters, then prevalent for the wealthy, and finally as the price comes down,…

You are definitely paranoid unless you have other severe health issues.

Because it is over. Only paranoid people believe it’s still a thing.

Neutral: Despite the superior technology of BEVs these goals of 2035 are definitely overly ambitious. It will take at least a decade to get approvals for new lithium mines, and another decade to upgrade the grid. During a recent heatwave here in California our governor Newsome went on the news and begged people not to…

Sorry I missed that one. Mine would be WINDSHIELD WIPERS! Hear me out. I’m an old, retired man living in the desert. If I need to go somewhere on a rainy day, I just wait a couple of hours. All wipers do is get baked onto your windshield until you scrape them off.

I’m all for electric vehicles. They’ll win because they are better. What’s not being talked about much is how the grid is going to support it. Here, in California, we are having troubles keeping up with current demand. Our electric rates are the highest in the nation already. The poor and working class will get no…

High speed rail here in California is a massive boondoggle that will never even break even let alone be used by the public masses. Seems like the federal government is willing to waste billions on it too. I say, stop the farce now and get started on a water conveyance from the Mississippi, or Eastern Texas. The way to…
