Were you prepared for it or did they surprise you with it?

Agree. I stopped eating meat/dairy in 2021 just as those prices started jumping. I found my life little affected by food price inflation, while heavy meat eaters (most Americans) complained to no end.

Some higher prices were “sticky”, but that only lasts so long and some prices are coming down now.  

Gas stations don’t make tons on gas either, per gallon.

I’ve been renting solely EVs from Hertz for at least 2 years. You can easily select one when you make the reservation.

If this were an i5 Touring my deposit would be in. I have no interest in burning any more gas.

Kudos to Volvo for sticking to plan and moving on from gas. In the US this likely will not affect its large sedan (lack of) sales.

Airstream has a nice ring.  Wonder if that violates the camper trademark.

ACAB.

It’s simple, really.

Will transit be made fare-free for those who can’t afford a new car or don’t want a new car?

3.1 was useful.

Average price of a new car is just over $48k.

NT?

My 2021 Polestar 2 had lots of niggles the first 6 months and spent some time in the shop. But nothing like what’s being written about the Blazer.

As I recall, Toyota sells every Prime it makes - they don’t sit on the lot.  Maybe that’s changed?  They are not ramping up production.

Maybe because most are adapted to already-developed vehicles, so development costs are spread out over many more vehicles. Think RAV4 and RAV4 Prime. I wonder why Toyota doesn’t flood the market with Primes. Maybe they cost too much to build?

You’re spot on. Cheap (heavily subsidized) gas has so many negative externalities.
