What you’re missing is how the contiuum has changed since ~1970. at this time, there wasn’t much of an upper middle class, and a very small upper class.

Except that, again, if you’re having to spend more on things like rent/owning homes, then you have less money to spend on other things like food and cars.

Your argument holds true for relatively limited resources like rent/owning homes (since you have people effectivelly in a bidding war/auction) However I dont’t think that’s true for mass consumables like milk, food, or even cars (i.e. cars being made for Jeff Bezos aren’t the ones we would ever been shopping for).

“Though both median and mean are skewed by people who make obscene amounts of money.”

Median isn’t average - that’s mean.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics - 76% of people buy used cars. While people buying new cars aren’t all in hte upder 25% percentile of income (obviously as seen here) - they do tend to be from high income household- here’s an article by Cox Automotive that shows the average household income of a…

From Wikipedia:

TLDR: People are aware of the challenges you mentioned and it has been accounted for in the plans - obviously plans are not the same as execution, so we might have hiccups in certain regions and certain areas do the lack of funding or incompetence. 

It will continue to grow, but at what pace? We don’t really know.

TLDR: Why are you trying to mansplain what it’s like to charge an EV to someone who has been charging an EV for 7+ years

I still don’t understand how it took the first responders almost an hour to get her out.

but she couldn’t roll down a window or force a door open before sinking???

The report says he resigned just few days before he was to be interviewed regarding the shooting - the fact that it the investigation become voluntary if he resigns seems... questionable.

“On 12/4/2023, Deputy Jesse Hernandez resigned (Exhibit 12) from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Hernandez had been…

TLDR: Heavier EV do cause more road damage, but heavy duty commercial/industrial vehicles rolling every day (UPS/FedEx delivery truck, garbage trucks, buses, semi truck on the highways) account for most of road damage.

Didn’t GM stop production of the Bolt for the foreseeable future? (i.e. they nominally have an Ultium platform vehicle that will “inherit” the Bolt brand name... but there will no longer be Bolts for sale on Jan 1 2024 or anytime in 2024?)

The third video in the Twitter embed show that Cybertruck is using all-season tires, which is a failure that happens all too often on regular pickups and SUV as so many of them come with stock all-seasons tires that are barely acceptable in rain and generally terrible in snow/ice.

I’ve seen so many of my fellow…

If it makes you feel any better the transition to EVs isn’t going to do much for the environment, either.

This myth that PHEV owners dont plug in their cars is a pile of baloney perpetuated by the fanatical EV lobby.

TLDR: While BEV are certainly not perfect without any tradeoffs, your post ignored all nuances with a blind gish gallop*

*Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of…
