Live by whatever standard you want, just don't complain when you pick one that leaves you paying more than you can afford for fuel.
Also, Tesla's are pretty f'in masculine, if you ask me. They can beat most production cars in a straight line race, for what that's worth.
The masculine teslas you describe cost over 100k. The rest are for beta sheep.

Weird flex but OK. Every Audi this year is a hybrid. Guess all those are just beta vehicles.

What do those cost?
Remember, the original argument here is people who can't afford raising fuel costs. Assuming this group isnt the target of Audi?

You live in a fantasy world.
I guarantee you lots of people in the United States, if they heard your opinions, would wish the absolute worst upon you.

Having issues affording rising fuel prices? Trade up to an Audi hybrid to ease the pain.
Beta model starting at 44k.

Then pay how much in electricity for it? Then when blackouts and rationing starts you can pick to charge the car or a/c, fridge, over, etc.

A few months around $5/gallon out here.
Definitely low key car shopping.

Bingo. It's similar to the "streaming is going to put cable companies out of business" theory, as the ISP's of these media companies start capping data and charge for overages.

Every Audi has at least a small electric boost motor and regenerative brakes. They don't choose to market them all as hybrids, but they are all hybrids. Most of the Audis aren't plug in, so zero electric cost.

Same to you. We live in a very divided country. It's a shame.

You are describing the capabilities of a $50,000 automobile. I find it hard to believe you are as ignorant as you pretend to be.

It was always difficult for you. I've stopped pretending.
He's not ignorant. He likes playing people and you all are feeding the troll by continuing to debate him. Just put him on ignore or actually ignore him. It's a much better message board experience.

No one ever thought you were pretending, we know you're an idiot.

I'm not playing anyone. Just trying to keep the conversation from being one sided when I can.
Do you honesty think that the people that can afford a 50K car are the ones that are going to be hit the hardest Mike? No, the ones that are going to be hit the hardest re the lower middle class and the ones struggling to live pay check to pay check. You're a damn fool if you think otherwise.....
Other than the cost of housing, energy cost are the one of the biggest things people face. DO you think those grocery shelves magically stock themselves? Or the items at your local department store are delivered by the clothes fairy? No, they need to be trucked in, and when the cost of fuel goes up, the cost of delivering those goods go up. And when they go up, the cost must be passed on to the consumer, that's you, me and everybody else in this country. So, I hope you like this inflation brought on by the incompetence of the Biden administration. We'll all suffer from this disaster that the liberal snowflakes brought on us by voting this idiot in, all 81 million of them (if there were really that many, I don't know how many dead people voted). People deserve better than what is happening right now, and if we continue down this road we are currently on, there will be a great depression the likes of which that was never seen before. When you're living on the streets Mike, maybe, just maybe you'll see the error of your ways. I hate to see that happen to you but it just might take something like that to happen to you for you to finally see the truth about the way things work. This is not some utopia where everything is all peaches and cream, this is the real world, and maybe, just maybe, if you take your head out of your [BLEEP] long enough, you'll see the truth.

It was the Fed and all the stimulus checks that brought inflation. Neither of those are exclusively a Biden thing. I would argue the Fed did more with 0% interest and propoing up the stock market. That combined with our crummy 'just in time' supply line and oil traders doing thier usual shenanigans trying to increase demand is part too. Yes I think Biden contributed with his anti-fossil fuel admin, but I think its fair to acknowledge that prices were gonna increase whether he was elected or not.

So you are playing a role to keep the conversation 2 sided? Did you just eloquently admit to being a troll?
Only you could do that.
