    400 miles isn’t enough. What’s this car cost? 70 grand? Left that little mundane detail out, didn’t ya?

    True. But with innovation and time, prices go down.

    It's 90k at the moment.

    With time and more innovation, prices will go down.

    You missed the point entirely. California doesn't even produce enough power to meet it's own needs. It has to import power from other states just to get by as it is...

    90k is an INSANE price. I imagine most doctors don’t even drive 90k cars. The average person has no business owning a 30k car much less one for 90k.

    Their limited range, not working well in cold climates, and lack of charging stations means Buttgigs electric cars are a liberal fantasy.

    Sorry, but my work truck costs half that and I can go for over 1,000 miles on a tank of diesel. Granted I have my auxiliary tank plumbed into my main tank, but still, I don't have to stop for fuel for 1,000 miles...

    Because supply can't keep up with demand.

    What are you talking about? Gas prices exploded as soon as Biden entered office. Explain.

    Not to mention the ones that catch fire and it takes an entire fire department 3,000 gallons of water to extinguish. And that's just one vehicle....

    Gas prices were increasing in October of 2020 to now. Trump was POTUS in October 2020.

    You do know how supply and demand works, right?

    Gas prices were not rising in October 2020. Just another liberal deflection. Why just make something up? You aren’t fooling anyone. I was standing in front of the pumps in October of 2020. Gas prices were about a $1.70 a gallon then. Now they are nearly $3.30. Biden has nearly doubled prices in just 11 months. It’s astonishing.

    Nobody cares about your anecdotal tale. Gas has been increasing since last year.

    If you note the link, demand dropped like a rock in April and May last year. Prices dropped and production slowed down. As the Country opened up, demand naturally went up but supply can't keep up.

    But I think it's cute that you believe an old, senile, pervy codger in the WH controls global gas prices.

    There’s one thing we can definitely agree on. Biden is definitely an old, senile perverted bastard. The sooner he puts his second foot in the grave, the better.

    A Democrat that says prayers? Lol

    The words Democrat and Christianity are oxymorons. Democrats don’t pray to Jesus. They worship their sorry-ass politicians.

    Democrats don't attack the Capitol in the name of their messiah because he got his ass kicked.

    Democrats don't dress themselves in clothing made in China with their beloved messiahs name and slogan plastered on them.

    Yes, many Democrats pray. Are you feeling OK?

    And it’s also a luxury vehicle most can’t afford. The Model3 is 1/2 the cost, a compact sadan and is still out of reach for most.

    EVs most people want to drive are still Too expensive. They need to hit the mid 20s and seat 5 comfortably like a Camry or a small SUV to have any sort of mass market appeal. TOYOTA is releasing theirs now, but it’s still expensive.

    I agree. Currently they are expensive. But with more innovation and time, they will be affordable.

    Washington DC was up in flames on Inauguration Day of 2016. Did you sleep through that one?
