I pity the car dealers and car manufacturers. The Dims are making it hard to make a living making ICE cars.

One of the most contrived examples is the fake metric MPGe. For example, according to the federal govt my EV gets 114 MPGe combined city/hwy. So the car makers making EV's get to average that sky high fake 114 MPG into their fleet average to meet the CAFE standards.

I'm not slamming EV's from a free market perspective. Our EV car meets our needs and wants and saves us tons of gas (we drive a lot of miles, a necessary characteristic to make owning an EV worth it in the end). We also like our ICE pickup for what it brings to the table. But I have a real problem with the government twisting every regulation imaginable to force EV's onto people who have no need for them.

To: Tell It Right

I can’t muster any sympathy for an industry that didn’t tell Bathhouse Barry to pound sand.
