Still want an EV? (NO POLITICS)

I’m just hoping to get 10k miles out of the rears.

Exactly and on point, gubment rules are pressurising manufacturers which are leading to stocks of unsustainable EV's that nobody wants and the catastrophe is mounting.

I'd imagine that the dealership association is seeing the trend towards slower overall sales (due to inflation and interest rates), which is an indication the EV market will soon be over supplied, hence the term "near over-supply". Tesla has cut prices for its over-stale-designs, at least twice IIRC. Looking at the Mach-E inventory yesterday like I usually do on most Sundays, Ford is offering $3,000 "bonus cash" plus 1.9% financing for 60-months. The offer is only for the "Select" (base trim) and the GT trim. That is a clear indication of need for inventory adjustment. The Mach-E only qualifies for a $3,750 tax credit. Just a few months ago, it was hard to find a Mach-E in inventory let alone heavily discounted.

Apparently ICE inventory is averaging a 57-day number, which is why there are no discounts to be found. It's a clear indication of what many of us forced-adoption dissenters have been saying; the EV market is not going to penetrate the lower socio-economic segment of the market. That segment does not have access to private over-night Level-2 charging. The entry price point is just too high to put up with range and refueling anxiety.

I posted a similar story to this here a few weeks back. Ford is stepping back from full transition to EV's and focusing on PHEVs as they are losing $32K per electric vehicle.

I was just about to post the same thing. But here's the longer version.

Just wondering how many gallons of fossil fuels were use sitting in traffic idling with the AC on. Morons
Moron (psychology)
Moron is a term used in psychology and psychiatry to denote mild intellectual disability. Depends on what your definition of mild is?

Strange how cousin Eddie was the only one smart enough to just go around the toads.

I would never want to see it but somebody's going to lose their shite on these people, eventually.

There have been dozens of arrests in Canada for Arsons causing the many of the "wildfires" (used to be called forest fires) and there is very little media reporting of it.

Trud controls truth up there like the alphabets do here. Comical to many, gospel to the rest.

Maybe the best part of this is this enforcement was from Native American Tribal Rangers. They are have Sovereign immunity but not personal immunity.
Will the Greenies sue a Native American Tribal Ranger?

Not surprising:
A Nevada Ranger told a reporter at the scene they received a 911 call saying that someone in the crowd was going to shoot the activists blocking the street.
This would explain their urgency and aggressive response to the blockade.
The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe released a statement confirming the climate militants were all from out of state.
The Ranger’s conduct is also ‘under review.’
“Upon arrival, Rangers informed the activists to clear themselves from the highway which backed up the traffic for several miles. Our Rangers used his patrol vehicle to move the blockade debris out of the roadway to allw Burning Man traffic to proceed. The involved Ranger’s conduct is under review,” the statement said.

A commendation would be in order for the officer, the b@tch holding traffic up with her cohorts could have caused a death in the waiting line eg an EV with low charge not long before the AC stops in the tropical heat.

We all think that these Rangers did the right thing and deserve accommodations but sadly that is no longer the world we live in. These guys will all get fired and maybe do jail time for doing the right thing. When this is over they will be lucky if they can get a job as a Walmart greeter.
If I were their lawyer I would be playing the Native American Tribal card from day one, their only hope.
