CAFE has nothing to do with that kind of air pollution. CAFE is all about fuel efficiency. Driving a pickup truck across the country would burn a whole lot of gas. That’s what CAFE is trying to discourage.

Still not close to BMW and Mercedes drivers, or drivers of lifted pickups.

“what a fit sounds like trying to run on 2 cylinders”

I don’t have a violin small enough to play for them.

We are literally the only country in the world who can pull that off at scale. And we have that capability very much by neglecting an awful lot of things that really should be more important, like healthcare, education, and infrastructure for our own people.

Yep, plus we’re freaking huge and a geographic fortress. Even if another nation could get a reasonable foothold on the continent, getting far in any one direction would be a near impossibility.

We bought a new SUV a week before my daughter was born and it has keyless entry and start.

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but some people are tracking the days since some inane off the cuff promise is made and never kept: https://elonmusk.today/

Nuclear is the only way, but its hard to get rich of it.....

Dear truck owners: nobody gives a shit which brand you spend your money on.

We love to take our 700+ horsepower $100k trucks to festivals about self-reliance and being kind to our earth mother or some such, don’t we folks. 

I’m in the battery industry and this is great once they scale it up. Currently lead acid batteries are the most recyclable consumable at being 99% recyclable. Being 95% for lithium is huge. Glad this is starting to catch up with the technology.
