I wouldn't want a Rivian anyway. They're EV trucks, which makes them non-trucks. My wife and I like our EV car, and we like our ICE pickup. I wish the Dims would let us decide what we drive on our own in the free market.

Ironically, some of us conservative families in the south like having one EV in our two-car garage to give us a diversification on energy dependency. If the Dims mess up gasoline supplies, we have an EV. If the Dims mess up power, we have an ICE pickup.

A few of us in the south like having an EV because we have solar to make our homes somewhat energy independent. The EV is a good way to utilize the excess power your solar system generates beyond what your house needs. We don't think solar is saving the world or any of that hogwash. We like weaning ourselves from dependency on things that the Dims overregulate, like energy.

To: Tell It Right

You are logical and practical. DC should not be dictating and subsidizing via EV tax credits. EVs and hybrids work for some family situations.

Mine is Honda Fit ICE and we like it

Sounds like you’re using some common sense there!
That can’t be allowed…
