So the barrel is full of “bad apples?”

Can’t wait for all the good cops to come out of the woodwork and back this guy up. Any minute now...

You’re saying the NYPD is corrupt! <clutches pearls>

Look at what happens when one cop tries to be good and do the right thing - you see an entire wave of bad cops (and their “unions”) come crashing down on top of him. This person became an officer of the law for all the right reason instead of to bully and take advantage of the power, apparently like a majority of the…

Doesn’t “NADA” also mean “zero”? 

Dealers deserve to go extinct. Who cares what these fat old conservative alcoholics have to say 

You forgot “who provide no unique value in society”...

Let me shed a tear for all the scumbag car dealers I’ve known over the years...

That they have control over how much to charge you for. And an EV is going to have potentially less of that (Or at least they fret it will).

At the…

OR, people that drive less are able to justify an EV, so they’re more likely to buy one. As more low-mileage drivers buy EVs the average ICE mileage will go up.

I can confidently say after buying a 2020 cx5 before things went nuts and keeping our cx7, dealerships won’t be seeing me for a quite a while.

Actually, they do waste by buying new, you are being very good at not wasting by driving a perfectly good used vehicle

What a time to be alive, and to see a Corolla sold for $60K.

I used to think most dealers were bad and dishonest.  Now, I can add car companies to that list - they are pushing expensive junk at super high prices, and not even making affordable models.  Then dealerships, even though they are overflowing in this junk, try to take you for even more!
