It’s Saturday, and you have big weekend plans. But first, you need an oil change. It costs $110 after the coupon. No extras, no engine or cabin air filter. Just synthetic oil. It takes 20 minutes to get there, 30 minutes for the oil change, and 20 minutes to get home. Or you could just buy an EV and get started on your big weekend instead.

SpaceX. That’s the post.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

No one is angry so long as there are no subsidies or government mandates. Save the hyperbole click bait. Knock yourself out as a passive passenger in a forgettable, soulless transport pellet. Wax on about the glories of your microwave. The rest of us will mostly ignore it while having awesome adventures metaphorically grilling and eating automotive steak. #V8sForever #SaveTheStick #SportsCars

Dear anti-EV crowd. I drove gas vehicles for 30 years. I attended car shows. I've modified engines and suspensions. I'm a Mustang Club of America-certified national car show judge. I still love classic muscle. I also used to love making mixed tapes, visiting Blockbuster on Saturday nights, or shopping for new music at Sam Goody. I was a photographer and spent a lot of time and money on film and developing. At the same time, I was one of the first to rip my music to MP3s, upgrade my internet connection to stream video, and own one of the first Sony digital cameras. And here we are again on the cusp of change. EVs are here for the masses, and the market will drive the change because EVs are better all-around vehicles for most people. Gas vehicles will be obsolete in another decade or two. Luckily for you, you don't have to change now. Nor should you be forced to. Gas vehicles will be around long enough to meet your needs or driving preferences until you are ready, and I'm thankful for that. But you see, I don't need your battery-fire warnings, comments about pumping gas in 5 minutes, or selective outrage about rare-earth mineral mining posted from your mobile phone. The ICE age is drawing to a close. Legacy auto and dealerships are on borrowed time. The automotive industry is ripe for massive disruption, and many people don't see it coming. But it's coming; you can’t stop it.
