True for financing, but I'll be paying cash so no need for it.

Surely you want nitrogen filled tires, extended warranty, GAP insurance, upholstery and paint protection. Maybe even VIN number etching on the windows? :giggle:

I'm glad to be corrected, but remember this is Shell and they have seen the writing on the wall. https://insideevs.com/news/713296/shell-closes-1000-gas-stations-to-focus-on-ev-charging/

I'd just like to see one in my driveway.

The gas stations are owned by big oil and the last thing they would do is encourage the growth in EV's. Surprisingly our local McDonald's has chargers and it's to encourage you to go inside while the car charges. In Europe and the UK many supermarkets have them with the same profit driven logic...

I came across this informative video regarding the sheer power of marketing, or alternatively, the gullibility of the buying public.

Tesla already uses that loophole, and you have no idea how much time and money the dealers association spent to try and stop them. https://sourcenm.com/2022/10/10/second-tribe-in-new-mexico-set-to-open-tesla-dealership-in-2023/

What a wonderful opportunity to have a captive audience who get swamped with more puerile ads that can't be turned off :headbang:

Did you not read the article where New Mexico has mandated that dealerships stock a certain percentage of EV's? So they don't mandate that we can only buy EV's, the mandate is that dealerships have to stock them, giving us the choice of buying EV or ICE. Open up the Advanced Clean cars I...
