356 miles in range is driving non-stop from the Boston area to Wilmington Delaware. It has insane range! It starts at $24k after federal and state rebates if eligible.

We just purchased one. It’s amazing. Pic below.

I’m looking for Rivian R2 rumors. Any good ones? I’m getting impatient waiting for this thing.

When is it coming out?

What’s the range on the AWD extended range max pack version?

So EVs get $7.5k more expensive and gas powered cars get $75k more expensive. Free markets should help us decide which vehicles are better, right?

That would bring gas prices up to $12.75 a gallon. Free market right? Average American uses about 480 gallons a year. That’s roughly $4.5k a year per gas powered vehicle. Or about $75k over the course of a car’s average 16.6 year life.

It is likely that the federal government’s $7,500 EV rebate will be going away next year. (Get your EV now!)

Free markets should determine which technology is better, right? So we should then stop the $41 billion in oil subsidies the US government also spends. Right?

If you had the chance to build a brand new healthcare system from scratch, how would you build it? What would the patient experience be like? What would you focus on?
