    Can anyone speak to the long term impacts of this? Like is gas going to remain high for years (or even worse get rationed) and I should trade in for an EV now?

      Get the EV. They're better anyway.

        Yes they’re better. But it’s very expensive to get the EV I want that would replace my current cars capabilities.

          I'm curious what specific capabilities you're referring to here.

            I have an outback with AT tires and I can fit my surfboards inside. I don’t want a compact. Rivian R2 is tempting but esspensive.

              The r2 is right on the median price for new cars in the US, believe it or not. Crazy. But yeah, an Outback is still cheaper
