Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout

Their argument supposedly isn't that people aren't buying new cars, but that they're buying EVs at a slower rate.

I’d buy an EV if I could afford one. Shit, when that transmission went out it would have been a good time to consider. But not with the price tags on everything and my 2004 wages.

The average new car in 2023 was like $47,000, would you have bought a new car at all?

Well, you see, you don’t have to pay the entirety of the 47k right away. I have no idea why but they said I couldn’t make payments on the transmission when I asked in person.

While I agree that EVs are too expensive, it just sounds like you're making the argument that you can't buy any new car. Which is also fair but different.
