They’ve gone up all over the world, you can’t just look at ours…there are many reasons for this, inflation being one of the biggest ones.

I wasn't comparing our prices against other countries. Just focusing on ours, prices have gone up to ridiculous levels and there is no end in sight.
I've said in other threads I'm not completely against EV's. What I am against is a hasty timeline to get everyone to buy one with part of their strategy being to increase prices. Then all these companies ban ICE production when there is still clearly demand. You can't make this happen overnight but they're sure trying.

Yes, about 80% of the reason.

Gas prices have not resulted in inflation. Pumping trillions of dollars into the economy over 12-18 months is what resulted in inflation.
Let me ask you this, what do the perpetrators of this “conspiracy” have to gain?!
We landed on the moon, and the mob didn’t kill JFK lol

It was pumping too much taxpayers money back into the economy that really caused inflation.
That the Arabs wanted to get their money back or Russian petroleum blockade - is only a small factor causing inflation.

Absolutely right; glad you're one of the few who can see this.

This truck is going to be the true turning point, bringing people in from the mainstream. I'm no truck person, but this would be a great replacement (when the time comes) for my Sienna. I would otherwise never buy a regular F-150 with it's 20 MPG's

I think you're right. I also was watching a video about the BMW i4 last night, and that too is so attractive to me because its just a BMW 4 GC that happens to be electric. i love that its not some weird jellybean.

Both of them (i4 M40 and i4 M50) are getting very good reviews. Someone on the Polestar forum went to a BMW driving event and loved both of them and is thinking of getting one for his wife. These also will bring in mainstream BMW/Mercedes buyers because they will be familiar with the interface, and the driving dynamics are also very familiar...minus the instant torque! BTW saw a Mercedes EQS yesterday up close at an EA charging station. Not a bad looking car up close, IMO of course

It does have a few pluses in that it has a 500 mile range, and charges very fast at a DC fast charger. When the guy pulled in next to us, my wife and I were charging her 2020 Ioniq....talk about slow charging....60% to 90 percent in 35 minutes LOL. Anyway he pulled in, I think he was around 40 percent (the EA chargers show battery percentage info on the screen), he went into the safeway, and 15 minutes later he came out and he was nearly at 90 percent and left. We were still still in the 70 percent range LOL

I can’t think of many battery EV cars that look truly great. Always seems to be some compromise in the styling and design. The frameless window design is not great IMO. . SUVs are a little different, the new F150 looks normal which is good. I really admire that the new F150 is body on frame as well
