People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

Not defending them, but if I can't afford a tank of gas I likely can't afford a whole new car. Hell I can afford a tank of gas and I still can't afford a new car.
For a while, with state and federal rebates, new EVs were ridiculously cheap but a lot of people didn't realize it. My brother leased a Nissan Leaf for my niece for $100 a month. I realize leasing isn't for everyone, but $100 a month for a car for a teenager is pretty damn reasonable until she can afford to buy something for herself.
They're insanely cheap RIGHT NOW. lol
You can get a used 2018-2020 Tesla (or any other brand) for $25k and then $4k back through a tax credit.
Most teslas i see are still 30-40k and there really aren't any other brands besides compliance cars at that age.
