How else could they say that even know the top 10 percent of income earners pay well over 50% of all taxes they still are not paying their fair share? Absolutely laughable yet people believe it.
I'll take the same tone.

The mob taking $500/month is theft. Or are we now equating the mob to the government?

You know what I don't care anymore. You guys continue saying the same shit about EVs you've saying to each other for the last 80 pages.

I certainly wasn’t comparing them to government when I first responded to you with my analogy using the mob. I was merely trying to simplify it for you because you didn’t seem to grasp the idea that it’s not a subsidy when someone takes LESS from you. It’s only a subsidy when they take nothing and you have nothing and then they GIVE you something. That’s a subsidy.

I will attach. See below. This should help you greatly. After reading this if you’re still confused, I can’t help you anymore. Although I’m telling you it’s news outlets and half of our government that have purposely confused you on this to begin with. The good news is you can do your own research and find out that they have been lying to you. Good luck.

There will be a slew of cars you'd be interested in in the future trust me.

It's pointless to be looking through stevie wonder glasses and predict the future saying it won't be good, it will suck, i won't like it etc.,

I'm sure the people in the 70s said the same thing. Then the people in the 80s said the same thing. Then the 90s and we thought we had it made in the early 2000s when fast and furious came out. Couldn't get much better than that car culture right? lmaooooo

The best is yet to come!

Can you (or anyone) explain how 21" computer monitors on your dashboard and driver aids like lane change warnings, lane keeping and attempted self driving tech promotes old school car culture?

Will people still pop their hoods to show off their huuuuge battery packs?

I highly recommend you seriously consider taking your own advice.

It’s very good advice unless it’s one-sided.

I mean hey we did get past the under glow lights, stickers that add 5hp each, changing the interior to the new york knick colors, neon lights everywhere, and an injen intake. I'm sure post 2035 when most of us are driving EV's we can talk about how awesome it is to charge at a supercharger in about 8 minutes and laugh about 2023 or so when it took about 30 minutes

Looks like Porsche got their way and now have a path to build some production ICE vehicles after 2035.
