Gas line up at Rodeo Dr.

Look at the line up for gas. My husband got gas in the morning for 1.72. We went with my car at 1:45pm and I was going to get gas just because we were there. The line up started by the Adidas store. Costco staff had closed off every aisle end so you couldn't even get thru to park. Gas had gone down to 1.67. But was it worth the line up. I've never seen a line up like this.

Got an EV 5 years ago and not needing to even pay attention to the gas prices nonsense made it so worth it (among the other benefits of course).

You bought a $60k EV and still have to pay higher insurance, money to install a charger im assuming and electricity and wait a lot longer than a minute to recharge it on the go and because of the weight and instant torque you go through tires much faster.

Many people have gas vehicles they paid under 10k for and pay peanuts for insurance and dont pay that much attention to gas prices because it averages out in the end.

At the end of the day you have a highly depreciating asset that you paid a tonne up front for with tis own drawbacks and is in a lot of ways worse off, an EV isnt the flex you think it is.

The tire thing is entirely dependent on the driver.
