They're turning ICE cars into horses. Only the rich can drive ICE cars.

Btw, they're NOT making EVs any cheaper neither. Only the rich can drive EVs.

Ideally the commoners will stick to their local areas utilizing public transit or bikes/ebikes. Never leaving their town. While the ruling class and elites will continue commuting with their private jets and motorcades of ICE vehicles.

Can you book me a train ride from San Francisco to Sydney? I'll pay you commission if you can pull it off.

Can you drive a car from san francisco to sydney? Very weird example since 99% would use public transportation (plane) nowadays. And that's not a trip you'd be doing often.

Also this is EU law, and neither San francisco nor Sydney are in europe.

Yes but they are nowhere close to "affordable and reasonable" for a regular worker like me.

Truth is Companies have eliminated entry level cars in the $15-20k range. That's what most of us need. Everything is at least one or two grades more expensive now.

Is there an EV at an entry level price? No. Entry level EVs are still very expensive. Also EVs will be complicated to repair so you have to bring them back to the dealership, again another expensive item. That's why only the rich will be able afford to drive.

How's that a fud??
