It's utterly ridiculous how these people talk down to others and don't even realize it. If you can't afford the extra 80 bucks a month for gas, you can't afford to buy a new EV. "Let them eat cake!"
 
Yeah...the average family getting killed by inflation can fork out $75k for a Tesla.

There are lots of electric cars, including some Tesla models, that are signicantly less than $75k. I obviously dont expect everyone to run out and buy electric cars, but for people in the new car market, it is at least someting to explore.
 
Lithium prices are rising 4x the rate of petroleum right now.

The 'Church of Popular Science' left has literally gone off the deep end of obliviousness.
 
Not enough rare earth materials for all the electric batteries at this point.
Oh, that's now turning out to be only a moderate concern. The Japanese have invented one that requires far less, but it's not as efficient, as they'll admit.

Not surprising. Biden invoked the war powers act to mine it.

Indeed. But if you try to explain that to people ... they just think the government is solving the problem.

It's like AOC talking about how public school costs less to run than private schools. People are really that clueless.

I have a lot of anxiety about this christmas. After 2 suicidal episodes this year I am really uncomfortable with the idea of being around the in-laws. This year has also brought about changes with my girls. I got divorced 8 years ago and had full custody of my kids until this year. They moved in with their mom in january and things have been pretty difficult between us since then. Nobody, including my wife, has been terribly supportive of what I've been dealing with this year and I've been putting on a happy face whenever I'm asked how things are going because when I'm honest it makes things worse. I'm just tired of it and now its going to be in my face for the next few days. Nobody understands but everybody has a solution.

Sorry to vent. Merry christmas to everyone"

I hope your mom puts a bullet in her head right after telling you that she never loved you
