I drove a Tesla and it gives a tremendous ride/torque/response, quietness. Once you drive one you will understand why they will take over ICE cars

Then why the need for government subsidies and mandates?  If you really believe EVs will take over ICE cars, then there really is no place here that requires the strong arm of government  fascism to achieve that end.

I object to the federal government trying to force EVs on us at the same time it's limiting the generation of affordable electricity. We've all seen the photos of EV charging stations powered by diesel generators. The hypocrisy is stunning.

2. China and Africa just signed a pact to stop using child labor in the cobalt mines.

You do realize that "Africa" is a continent, not a country, right?  On second thought, maybe you don't.

I'm leaning pretty heavy on the Azure truck. Bulk dry goods are saving me, as they do in hard times. Lots of beans and rice in my diet.... Which I ain't complaining about, btw. I could eat red beans and rice every day. But bulk dry goods ain't changed so much in cost. And if you can source cheap meat, you can eat pretty good.

You are another person who hates ev's because conservatives have been told to hate ev's.

Uh, no.  You are wrong about that.  I don't hate EVs.  In fact, several of my posts on this very thread are supportive of using hydrogen as an electric source for EVs which you have conspicuously ignored.  I have no problem with EVs per se.  But I have a huge problem with government forcing everyone to use them especially in areas where they are impractical.  This whole 'one-size-fits-all' bullshit is what I hate.  I hated it when the Soviet Communists did it.  I hated it when the Mao Communists did it.  And I hate it when American liberals do it.

SO yes I am looking at the new Toyota EV's when they come out later this year or early next.

Agree with you on this.  Have owned both a BMW M5 & M3 so am quite familiar with off-the-chart torque/responsiveness.

Was alongside a Tesla at a red light in my Passat recently and as usual, was in a hurry.  The Tesla took it as some sort of challenge and my jaw dropped.  Still shaking my head...was like watching a Star Wars episode or something.
