Sorry, my MAGA decoder ring is in the shop.[/quote]

He was talking about the auto industry if things continue down the path they are going. 
But, you know that.  [/quote]

[b]What path?[/b] The auto industry is actually doing well.

And he didn't limit it to the auto industry. But, you know that. You KNOW that.

Sure consumers are going to freaking love a 100 percent tariff on any foreign made cars. That should be fantastic for everyone. [/quote]

This path....

So, you want pollution that causes asthma and ruins the environment?[/quote]

I want a reliable form of transportation that will take me where I need to go. 
EVs are nowhere close to that.  [/quote]

Let me guess, you learned about EVs 20 years ago and never bothered to update your info as the technology progressed?

I've been driving an EV since 2019 and there is barely any difference between an EV and ICE vehicle, even on long trips. There is absolutely no question that EVs are "a reliable form of transportation that will take people where they need to go" aside from minor fringe cases that only affect a miniscule percentage of consumers.[/quote]

I live in a rural area with no EV chargers.  Literally - none.  
We have one person in a neighborhood of over 400 families that has an EV.  They use it as their "back up car."  Or, to do local errands.  
To get to any significant shopping, I have to travel more than an hour.  
I am not willing to invest $$ in a vehicle that will require a new battery costing half the price of the vehicle in 8 years.  
I have lots of other reasons.... but suffice it to say,  this country is NOWHERE ready to make the changes that Biden is pushing.  [/quote]

So don't get one. It's that simple. But there are cases where EVs make sense to those that choose them.

Horse and buggy users probably said similar things when the new fangled horseless carriages where introduced.[/quote]

That is precisely my attitude.  If you want an EV, and it fits your budget and your lifestyle, go for it. 
It doesn't work for me. 
And, that is why the regulations that Biden is pushing are ludicrous.  There are likely more people like ME than those that are jumping on the EV bandwagon.  And, he is making it so many of us will NOT have a choice in 8 years.  [/quote]

If you're the PP that lives in a rural area and needs to drive an hour to get any shopping done then, sorry, you're in the minority and an edge case.

No technology is going to get 100% adoption overnight but EV sales are increasing every year. So it looks like more and more see some value in it. What regulations is Biden pushing that will make it so you can't get an ICE vehicle in 8 years? That's mostly a rhetorical question since it's been asked before in other threads and nobody has a coherent answer. [/quote]
