Returning to the point, the fuel price as a motivation was tunnel vision around San Diego fuel prices.

I suspect that is a factor in the Chicago charging meltdown report. Although Chicago gas prices didn't reach California levels of stupid, it was enough to convince the uninformed to buy or lease EVs as a full time replacement for their primary car.

Aw, I would have taken the test drive.

The F-150 Lightning (and the Mustang Mach-E) are the perfect vehicles for test drives.

Amazing, and I mean really amazing acceleration, and a comfortable and eerily quiet ride.

What you don’t experience on a test drive is the daily hassle of trying to charge the thing, the endless range anxiety on even moderate trips, and the inconvenience of the thing shutting down for no reason.

EVs have their strong points, and it OK to experience them for a short time.

Yes, even in 1974 people realized that batteries suffer in the cold. Some people in Chicago chose to forget.

this is why these idiots want to defeat “climate change” rather than admit their beloved creations are useless
