The NADA’s aversion to EVs isn’t really about EVs per-se. There are three key issues:

I’m sure the buggy dealerships cried too. 

This still makes me weepy. If it is now considered “unfashionable” to have loved Friends, I really don’t give a shit. It will always make me laugh.

And I literally just got ungreyed here like a week ago. Damn.

Wow. That just hit me like a punch in the throat. Devastated for the staff, their families, and these who genuinely engaged with the site over the years. I’ve been commenting for about ten years now. Jezebel has been part of my daily online life for a decade. Ugh.
