I have only talked to 4 people who own Tesla's they all seem to love them and think they are much cheaper to run, one guy said what he would have to spend on gas car that was as quick as his Tesla would pay for all the electric he will ever use. My brother raves about his Tesla. He's saving large driving it to work and the cabin on weekends. Quote

We ordered a Kia Sportage hybrid, hopefully it comes in the first week of Sept. we figured with just our daily driving avg. 50 miles a day it will save us $280.00 a month if it gets 30 mpg. they claim 38 and that is also figuring diesel is $1.00 more per gallon currently it's $1.20 more. Wife's 2021 Civic Sport Turbo gets 38MPG I would imagine a Hybrid gets better than that . I bet they are close on weight. Quote

Couple families I know have EV's and they are basically grocery getters. I'm hauling or towing a lot so not for me. I imagine there will be plenty of retrofitting a lot of electrical services as more E- cars are sold. Quote

There is some other stuff that could hamper getting a credit on the F150 based on where battery is made and where the minerals come from that could also exclude the f150 from getting a credit 1 Quote

Yep and income limits and msrp limits. Likely a point of sale so the middle income and poor that pays no taxes already will get the benefit…. Also used EV tax credit. I can see manufactures building vehicles with all the necessary hardware but limited which they can buy after the purchase so that they can get under the msrp limit 1 Quote

Seen him last week and they are quoting a new appartment complex. That very topic came up about how they wanted to move forward on line item to supply outlets for charging EV. It's a 16 unit building so it's a dig add and changes the total power requirement for the building. 2 Quote

"GREEN ENERGY!!!!! Imagine you were looking at an ICE vehicle and the dealer/salesman told you, because of the risk of fire, we recommend you not park it in your garage, near your house or neighbor's house. Best to park it on the street but not near any trees or other vehicles. Bizzarro world! 1 Quote
