I don't trust all those people who are trying to save the planet. They all have bad intentions.

Some may have good intentions, but who knows.

You missed the point entirely. Again.

I made that statement to show you how silly it sounds. But as I expected, it went right over your head.

Your thread over on Car Chat was a good idea. It gives those with the need to vent a place to go.

This thread was getting off topic and I wanted to discuss a similar topic elsewhere. But my intention wasn’t to have a place where people could vent or be negative.

That is definitely a constant trend. Going off on tangents and side-tracks. You are not alone in that sentiment.

To antagonize as usual.

Wrong. My point was to show him the silliness of his claims, which he has yet to acknowledge. He has "apologized" for calling people names for buying EVs, but not for repeatedly saying that people who work to move society to EVs have "bad intentions." IMO, the latter is worse than the former.

Then do this instead of that. You have a specific point of view, so don't try to veil it so generically or cryptically. I don't care for many of your posts or comments but that doesn't mean I feel you are always wrong.

I don't see how I "veil(ed) it ...generically or cryptically." In fact, I suspect that everyone knew what my statement meant except for one person. Didn't you?

I’m just now seeing this post. That was a good deal, considering you bought it in 2021! I’m praying my car doesn’t get totaled and I have to go through this MSRP crap all over again.

I’m glad I bought my F Sport when I did because then the dealership wasn’t adding anything to the MSRP. Now they’re adding a $1,490 protection package charge on all their cars.

My 2021 Premium acquired in June 2021 was 0 drive off, $503/mo, 36 mos, 10k miles. Not sure how I got lucky too. maybe dealer uncertainty of which way the market will trend and wanting to offload stock? either way i'm definitely hoping no one hits me..
