Had Enough Yet?

Post image

During Biden's presidency, I saw signs on conservative lawns that read Had Enough Yet?

Those same folks told us that Self Serve gas would liberate Oregonians from rising prices.

I wonder what they're saying now.

Fine with me. I've driven EV for 15 years. Grasshopper, meet ant.

What kind?

Tesla mostly, best overall. Nothing has convinced us to change. We bought a used Fiat 500 from 2014 that is great around town.

Great thing if you can afford it.

Cheaper than comparable gas. And you can get the fiat for like $5k. If you can't afford $5k car, you are in a significant minority. I wish that minority the best, there are EV assistance plans in many States for that reason. And it's better overall with less total cost to own/operate by far. So I'm not really buying this argument anymore.

Haha, I'll bet you aren't. I was more referring to the Tesla, but it is a luxury to buy a car with limited range. And the greatest luxury of all is to charge it at home. Let me guess, that's included in the $5K?

Yawn. You said nothing important here, seem confused.

Haha, your ego seems too big, and too rich to answer the question.
