Cars are not freedom.

But they’re not monster trucks (ie Siverados, Tundras, F150s, Suburbans, Tahoes, Grand Highlanders).  They’re still smaller, on the whole.

Manufacturing of complex goods requires certainty. A dysfunctional political system that enables policy changes depending on whether a slight breeze moves past is a recipe for disaster.

I’m past the “privacy” bullshit. Americans could care less about it: they willingly give their data to massive corporations who are far less accountable to anyone but the richest billionaires.  

Anecdotes are just that.

But in most of the world 4000-5000 lb pickups and ginormous SUVs are not de rigeur

If profit margins go up, more model will be forthcoming.

Clearly it was the bike lane’s fault.

Natural gas is such a great fuel.

Knowing I’m not sucking Elons tit is well worth $20,000.

Your gut feeling is right. People who drive very little (like your 11 miles per day) don’t need EVs. It’s people who drive lots of miles who switch to EVs who will make the difference. Think 30-100 miles per day.

The Prius was perennially one of the best sellers in CA.

“Likely not enough to get all of them back to full charge before they go home.”

Ill have my Brown EV Wagon before you have your EV convertible.

Also a Polestar 2.

EVs certainly are “less bad” than ICE vehicles (ICE-Vs anyone?).

Ah sensationalized click-bait titles.  Gotta love ‘em.

But they certainly love their ‘fees’

The question I ask is not ‘who has a pension anymore’

Oh you’re one of those ‘without the 1% and their massive tax cuts there’d be no jobs’ thumpers.  Got it.
