I don’t drive a lot any more now that I work from home…but if I purchased an electric vehicle, the batteries (arguably one of the most expensive components of the vehicle) are slowly degrading whether I drive it or not, and I would either have to throw away the whole car or replace the extremely expensive batteries as early as 10 years (assuming the company who built it still exists). If I buy a gas-powered car instead, there is not a significant expensive component on it that starts totally degrading over time whether I used it or not…except the 12v battery under the hood that I have to replace every 5 to 7 years.

That Rivian CEO is suffering from affluenza and seems to think people are made of money.
