We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!

Meanwhile, my Hybrid Maverick is backordered so long, they’re asking people to switch to the gas only engine. But hey, this stuff doesn’t sell.

Here’s an idea, instead of only selling $80k+ EVs, sell some $25k ones.

    Obviously. EVs don’t solve anything - just move the consumption from one type of energy to another.

    We need walkable cities and high quality public transport.

    We will need socialism first to make that happen tho so the CEOs are gonna keep blaming the consumers for them not making the profits they oh so desperately hoard.

      Load of horseshit. More and more of our electricity is renewables. It grows every year. And EVs DO solve emissions problems. In the US we are NOT getting walkable cities. That ship sailed about 150 years ago.

        Plus, iirc, I believe a coal plant powering an EV is still better for the environment than a similar gas car.

        Either way though, so much of US power is moving towards renewables. This dude’s take is wild.
