I absolutely hear you on the tax credit. I used to be exactly the same way, thinking of it as my money. But now that Liberals are spending us into Oblivion, it is so overwhelming that I’ve given up. It’s not my money it’s every generation from here going forward. And if they’re going to give that money too everything from students majoring in something they can’t get a job with to a corrupt foreign country, a few thousand dollars is a small percentage. If we ever get back to fiscal responsibility then I’ll get back to thinking that way

I guess im naive enough to think that people will research before they buy one. If they intend to use it as their only car, they are indeed foolish. I can’t imagine anybody being that stupid. But yes, I do know there are Biden voters.

Insurance, whether it be homeowners or automobile, that’s just all speculation. Might happen, might not. Nobody has a crystal ball, just theories. Things are pretty lacks here in tennessee. Lots of personal freedoms, insurance companies here are nothing like what we dealt with in california. Or even texas.

Since I only drive local and there’s not a lake in sight that has a ferry, not an issue.

Thank you for your reasons responses. Time will tell! And it won’t break my heart to get rid of it. We already have too many vehicles/husband toys. I didn’t even mention the motorcycles! LOL

I must admit, my heart went out to those people a few months back who were stuck in a snowstorm in their EVs...this guy, MGuy (from Australia) has a boatload of content, where he discusses many aspects of EVs in a little depth.

I fully recognize that he is not an advocate, so his videos, while educational, are not impartial. Fully not impartial at all. He does resonate with me, since I have a degree in Chemistry and can follow his technical discussions reasonably well (He is an engineer turned lawyer...there's a path)

When I watched this, I was fully prepared to do the Simpson's "Haha!" complete with pointed finger, but...I actually felt pity. I visualized in my mind all of these people virtue signaling as they "save the planet", but in reality, most of them were just dupes.

They believed what the government told them.

It reminded me of the famous scene from the movie "Animal House" when Flounder's car is destroyed, and his buddies cheerfully say "Hey! You f**ked up. You trusted us."

Many of these people (not all!) were just not prepared either mentally or physically for what they faced when the temperature plummeted.

When the a-holes in government pushed people into this, even to the point of mandating it in a few years, it made my blood boil.
