Spyder available now! It’s frozen berry, though…

The only way that could be worse is if it had a tan interior

I thought no color could make that car look bad. I was wrong.

That thing needs to stay in south Florida.

The matching interior trim really adds that finishing touch.

Almost feel bad for the dealer who got stuck with that. But who knows maybe it’ll be a hit in Florida

Off topic but when do you guys think owning an ICE car will cause higher taxation and insurance?

We've been talking about taxation in some other threads over the past year. Short version is there are at least two schools of thought on whether taxing ICE vs EV will help drive people to EVs or just fuck over those of more meager means and, like all other regressive tax policies, further expand the gulf between the moneyed and the damned.

I'm not sure what the connection is between ICE and insurance?

Well, the fairest thing would be to add a surcharge on ICE new cars such that it closes the delta between them and EVs, or makes EVs more affordable. And/or continue incentives and rebates for buying EVs.

Leave used ICEs alone to help with affordability for lower income folks.

The first order of business should be to address the road use tax (i.e. fuel tax) that EV drivers don't pay.

The fuel tax is already dysfunctional; the whole system needs to be overhauled.

People aren’t going to love the alternatives, though, especially if they involve tracking mileage.
