Don't try to shone the electric car thing down my throat because you won't like the result.

The best part is that he is doing it because he wants to, not because of government interference.

I see Lordstown Motors (Rivian) is about to fold. NASDAC pulled their stock today. Trading at under a buck.

**** Rivian and **** their useless, overpriced, self-pleasure aid of a 'truck'.
I've never seen a vehicle so guaranteed to be driven by a self-important, ageing boomer male, with more money than sense. Being stuck behind one of these folks driving around coastal Maine makes me want to set fire to these fair weather residents lovely homes.
Irrational anger? Maybe, but these trucks are a symbol of so much I loathe in the world. I'd rather be force-fed a Tesla.

I always joked about this.....I'll get a new electric Ford F150 and have a Kubota diesel generator in the box in order to make the 4 hour ride into the bush to work in minus 40 winters we get.
But I'll never have to worry.
1. I will never own anything but gas or diesel powered. When they won't sell me fuel anymore, life is over.
2. At $114,000 for a base model F150 Lightning on the lots up here......they can stick that where the sun don't shine.
A guy at work just ordered a new Rivian truck. I can't wait to see how that is going to work out driving our bush road into the mine all winter in minus 40.

Prius Prime (a more correct analog) has 6.4 sec 0-60. More importantly, the law of diminishing returns basically makes it moot. The average for all cars is about 6.1. Having driven both a regular Prius and a Prime for many years, I would say it doesn't matter. I'm an aggressive driver and never had acceleration issues in traffic. I'm also guessing that if you regularly drive your EV to get to 60 in 3.0, you will drain your battery even faster.
