Focusing on the proposed $1,000 tax on new EV sales: these (R) Senators will hide behind "lost revenue for the highway fund" as the logic for this. It would boost that revenue by barely 1%.
Yet, the federal excise tax on gasoline hasn't changed since 1993...[1/2]

Republican senators call for $1,000 tax on new EV sales to pay for road repairs
Most revenue for federally funded road repairs is collected through taxes on diesel and gasoline.

There are a lot of things to hate about Elon Musk and what he's trying to (illegally) do and get Trump to do to the Government of the United States. That he uses his son as a PR prop and bullet shield is at the top of the list. This illegitimate plague of a man knows how much he's hated.

@ppistone.bsky.social It came as a great surprise that "The Week That Was" will be coming back to #TMDNASCAR for this upcoming season! I love all your recurring daily, weekly, and seasonal bits, but this one was part of what Fridays official for me!

This is a sleek attempt at a travel trailer with its own electric motors and battery pack. I'm sure it'll be WILDLY expensive, but if the tip of the spear isn't sharp, it won't break through, right?
That app for remotely moving it is a game changer itself. #EV #GoRVing

TIL that Los Angeles County has a population larger than each of the 40 smallest U.S. states! Yet it's smaller than Connecticut. I knew it was the most populated county, but that context is eye popping. Puts the threat of the recent #LAFires into new (even grimmer) light.

I'm impressed with how my #KiaEV6 RWD (no heat pump) is handling the single digit temps: efficiency around 2.7 mi/kWh and no trouble keeping the cabin warm. My daily battery usage is getting recharged during off-peak hours, so this is honestly easy to cope with. #electricvehicles #PolarVortex

It's so cold here that my dryer vent hose had ice forming on it INSIDE my laundry room. Makes sense that could happen, but I didn't see that coming. An old t-shirt stuffed into it with some fiberglass insulation scraps as a cover put a stop to that, but damn. #Winterizing #PolarVortex

I'm gonna give this BlueSky thing a try. I haven't done anything new in social media for a while. Maybe this will turn out to be a welcome change (unlike some OTHER changes we all witnessed today). #NewToThis
