Oh stow that counterproductive bullshit.

Yeah, used cars are always better value than new ones because someone else has already eaten the depreciation. That's why no one makes new cars, they just can't compete on value.

I find "daily" to be too strict a criteria, go for "routinely." I'm a woodworker, I haul lumber, tools, scrap and finished projects around in my S10, sometimes multiple loads a day, sometimes not for weeks. It's been 8 days since I hauled something heavy in my pickup, I bought a new compressor and it wasn't gonna fit in my Buick.

Plus...some people want a truck because they like them. If you want the unwashed masses to drive more EVs, you're going to have to allow EVs to be things other than expensive luxury sport sedanover Model Y clones or "cut off your genitals to save weight and get better mileage" self-flagellation machines for self-loathing Green party voters like the Leaf and Bolt. Bring back fun little toy cars like the Geo Tracker and the Subaru BRAT but with electric powertrains. Something that's just as fun to slide through the mud as a Wrangler or Bronco but 7/8ths as big, something a blonde named Tina wants to drive to her job at the Great Clips in Rocky Mount.
