Pretty much. Again, I have nothing against electric and in a lot of ways, think they're awesome. That being said, the horse really NEEDS to be in front of the cart in order for all this shit to work.

If we ALL just buy an electric vehicle it WILL work. Problem is that it will work only for models later than the ones we all bought.
It just takes a bit of faith.

Uh...no it won't. Our infrastructure cannot handle it for one. Copper will be depleted long before that for second. And I could go on but have better things to do.

Posted to all my Euro trash green sayers....we are doomed here! Think about it: Hybrid JL no options sold 70000€ or JL Rubicon (if you can lay your hands on one) sold 58000€+30000€ (!) green tax!!!

I know your talking money and not measurements. But this meme still checks out. I have no clue what you just said.

So what I hear you saying is that you have to pay a huge tax if you vehicle uses gasoline. I expect that is the way it will be here in the USA before long. After all, the California recall election failed.
So, I just saw this...

And, while I'm glad to see there's a few people in the House that are actually trying to help regular Americans out, I can't say that I'm holding my breath on this one.

I read an article about a week ago. Thousands of dealers signed a letter opposing Biden's electric vehicle push. The vehicles aren't selling. Vehicle owners don't want this shit.So, I just saw this...

The real problem is that manufacturers always have to plan 5-10 years into the future. That's for design, tooling, etc and even if this bill passes, the ball has been in motion for a long time now and I don't think they can just stop it. Talking to my friends at Jeep, the worst part is that in the end, they ultimately have to hedge their bets on what the long term future will be and at the moment, electrification is it.

We don’t sell SHIT when it comes to EVs and after talking to other dealers within Car Country Carlsbad neither do they. While I find a sense of contentment within that lol, I’m not holding my breath on it either as they are already convinced it’s the future even if it’s 50 years away.

I wish Europe would follow suite and give the tree huggers the boot... might shake up Stellantis a bit who are (for now) the ultimate descision takers for JEEP...

FedGov meddling fucks up everything it touches. It almost always makes it worse and it definitely makes everything more expensive. Let the Free Market decide.
I am pretty sure if the free market were the sole driving force for the manufacturers most Jeeps would be modern diesel and 392’s.
This is what the environmentalists want to do in Nevada. You know, because there is an endless supply of water out here and it’s all in the name of “saving the planet”
