    Man, I would absolutely love an EV. As long as it’s paid off, and I can keep minimum liability insurance on it.

    You completely missed my entire point.

    They haven’t existed long enough for those of us struggling, and anyone who can afford one isn’t really struggling, they just think they are.

      I get you. Thanks for the call out and clarifying. Decades of being on the internet has turned me into a grumpy pessimist🫥

      EDIT: one of my best friends has a ~15 year old Toyota Yaris. He just replaced the clutch in it last year, and that was the first major work that it’s needed. That thing is going to outlive his kids. I think it’s great he (and you) are driving old cars that still work; it really is the most economical and ecologically sound thing to do.
