This is demonstrably false. And nearly everyone has known it’s false for at least 5 years now. I’m not interested in an EV to delude myself about the environment; I just think they’re convenient.
Yeah that’s what it looks like to me, although I’m not sure that remote start is a thing on EVs (never owned one). I hit remote start every time I get in my vehicle. Gets the AC/heat going and lets the engine idle down a bit.
Same here. Two door Bronco hauls everything I need. Most pickups these days are luxury vehicles that no one will ever use to haul anything at all. My dad will drive a pickup every single day of the year because he gets mulch twice a year, it’s hilarious.
I keep seeing images of the Slate hauling around plywood and drywall, and people saying things like the above but I’m over here wondering to myself who are all these carpenters and contractors without a truck, or how often are other people building additions onto your home?
We don’t know the size of Bezos’s stake but investors don’t run companies anyway, so it doesn’t really matter what he thinks about the future of EV rebates.
And if Slate can’t be competitive without the rebate, they should rightfully fail. I hope they can be a profitable company on their own...
