I'd like to say something but have to choose words carefully, I want to stay apolitical and don't want to hurt feelings. In a perfect world I'd like to see everyone happy with their choices. I don't expect a lot of people will agree with me and that's ok.
I think every generation has to do their own thing believing it's an improvement over the past and sometimes it is but not always. I feel like Rip Van Winkle asleep for 20 years waking up in this strange world of today.
This EV discussion should be for both sides, not just pro-EV.
My parents and in-laws and their parents all at some point realized they were not capable of safety driving a car and made other arrangements. I don't see self driving as the panacea.
This mandate, eliminating ICE everything in 13 years to me is insane, even scientists can't agree about climate change. Even if they all agreed the switch to electric was the solution the mandate only affects the US which is only 4.25% of the world's population!
Before any legislation is passed it should be considered from every viewpoint. EVs are fine if one wants it, but for lots of people it makes no sense but it's forced on them regardless.
There are so many other technologies like hydrogen being explored makes me wonder if that has anything to do with the Tesla price reduction.
The bottom line is it should be the best choice for the individual, and we're going to support Ford, GM or Chrysler ICE for our needs.
