    Ahh to be a logically voting, Prius driving, American.

    Thoughts and prayers, or whatever.

        Tbf it is the PHEV and I only drive 4 miles to work.

        BYD would be my full EV choice, but you know, American *“free trade market™️”

        *free trade not subject to actually being free

          Saw a BYD in the wild a few months ago. Mexican family had driven it up into Texas on family road trip.

          I got to see the interior. All the extra features. Drives like a dream. It blows out Tesla’s back walls.

          They’ll never let you buy one in the states

              Democrats are, if it’s even possible, more beholden to the domestic auto industry than Republicans.

              We are never getting a president who will let Chinese EVs into the US.

                I was talking to my dad about this, not only is it tons of jobs that the automakers provide, during war time and other extreme times such as covid, automakers can transition to making other things such as ventilators at a rapid pace.

                  Manufacturing capacity at a domestic level is great.

                  But when you consider what they’re manufacturing? If it’s all gas guzzling super trucks during a petroleum shortage? Who benefits?

          The option to be fully electric is an obvious improvement over any ICE-only car.

            LOL - downvoters don’t want you to have the option, they’d rather force you to burn gasoline. 🤣

            If you know some types of chutney that go well with sourdough rolls I might give it a try. Recently started mixing ground oats in with the bread flour too.

              You are spectacularly deficient in searching skills. The title of this chat shows no hint that anyone here would have such information for you. But it is in fact ok for a man to ask for directions so don’t give up. I’m sure you’ll find your way.
