Approximate location, price and date?
Edit: report back in a week any change if you remember.
E2: went up 9¢ since I posted this morning. $3.19 now.
E3: $3.30 now. ~20¢ in a day, 50¢ in 4 days.

im hoping for $10, fuck Cars. It’s not like this same shit hasn’t happened before and the same thing repeats, had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it… Insanity
My dream? an 80% reduction in private cars, and the rise of e bikes and e scoots, medium density housing, and more tree cover; quieter, friendlier, less deadly cities, you know 15 minute cities.
it is insanity, but not for the lack of navigation; it was about preventing china from gaining economic leverage with affordable electric vehicles and scalable renewable technologies.
That makes no sense lmao
it makes perfect sense
It doesn’t. If it was really a concern it’d be better to beat them to the technology
yes, it would be better, but we didn’t because we lack the industrial capacity to provide both at scale and affordably so. so instead we just doubled down on fossil fuels and carved out legal corporate & governmental protections for harming people that we predict will get fucked over by climate change.
But that’s just handing China the advantage without a fight, it doesn’t slow them down at all. That’s why it makes no sense.
we slowed them down by using super high tariffs on electric vehicles and solar panels and it makes sense from a geopolitical perspective. the united states & europe uses its economic leverage to control the world and letting people buy chinese electric vehicles, solar panels, etc. would give the chinese this same type of leverage.
trump, biden, obama, both bushes, etc. consider china to be the enemy, so forcing people to stay dependent on fossil fuels instead of green energy is a way of making sure that the united states stays in control; the same is true for europe.
that’s also why we regime changed venezuela, libya, iran, etc. because they started selling oil using other currencies besides the american dollar and that would make the united states lose some of this leverage too.
But that’s what im saying – high tarrifs doesn’t skow down technological innovation in China, of course they’re way ahead of us now on EV technology. Yes, they did it to keep power over their United Statesian subjects, by keeping us in the dark they have more control over us. China didn’t slow down at all because of that.
We are dropping to a one car house. Our now single car is an EV, I scopt and take transit, and I can’t be more ready for when we don’t even need the one
