As a San Francisco suburbanite, it does strike me every time I visit Wisconsin (and many other places), that what would work well for public transportation in my suburb, would not work at all in Waukesha County (Milwaukee suburbs and exurbs). One reason people should get out and see other parts of the country.

On the other hand, Madison has a great public transit system (that could continue to get better).
That existed even when I was there.

Auto industry pulls back after unprecedented EV, self-driving spending


  • After years of spending capital freely on all-electric and autonomous vehicles, automakers are starting to pull back.
  • It takes a significant capital investment every time an automaker launches a new product or updates current models, causing a spending ripple effect throughout the global supply chain.
  • Now, General Motors and Ford Motor are cutting billions in fixed costs, including laying off thousands of workers, while others such as Nissan Motor, Volkswagen Group and Chrysler parent Stellantis are taking even more drastic measures to reduce headcounts and trim spending.

The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST Is the New Electric Pickup Leader

 The Silverado EV RST is the fully-loaded model with every optional add-on thrown in from the head-up display to a spray on bedliner, to panoramic roof. All that will cost you $96,495, including the destination charge. That’s more expensive, than the fanciest version of the conventional Silverado, but in the same ballpark as other top-spec EV pickups.

I guess it's a status thing, for folks who value appearing to have "status".  I like having some status with an airline or hotel chain, that's about it.

Pickup trucks in general may be a status/lifestyle thing for many who never use the bed for anything serious.  But anyone shelling out nearly $100 K for a truck probably isn't worried about fuel costs.  It is kind of neat on paper than you can power your house with one of these things for a couple days with the right attachments.

There are obviously a slew of issues with EVs we've already discussed, one of which is most of us are not interested.  The auto makers all went kind of all in on the concept and now are seeing a growing market with far too many new entries and China becoming a large player.

VW seems to be in pretty significant trouble and Stellantis may join them.

You think it's bad now?

Wait until the EV mandates and tax credits go away.

The other factor of course is gasoline prices.  A lot of folks think Trump policies will significantly lower them (I do not).  A recession would do the trick though.

Gas prices here under $2.50/gal
That's affordable and probably already hurting EV sales.

Probably not going much less.
Maybe down to $2
