People crying about Nintendo Online pricing. First off, it’s for an entire year, not by monthly, so I don’t know how that’s a negative. That’s just an example.

    I mean that’s all true, you can get a decent EV for $10,000. Assuming you’re also able to charge it and stuff. But a lot of people aren’t in a financial position for even a $10k car loan with no money down. Those monthly payments would put them over the edge. I’m sorry if you didn’t mean it that way. This was my knee-jerk response to hearing “if you don’t like high gas prices then buy an EV.”

    Some people can of course and they should just buy an EV instead of complain about putting $100 in their F150. But II think they are a small minority of people who also thought a huge tuck was perfect to commute 20 miles to their office job.

      I’m assuming you’re in US, and your comment kinda sums up your biggest problem.

      You’ve focussed on automobiles and dismissed public transport, bikes etc. You dont need a car, you want a car.
