   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.

                  I replaced my old Forester with the new Trailseeker. Stsrting price (and interest rate) is much better than the R2.

                  I can slide in an 8’ board no problem when I’m too lazy to use the roof rack.

                  I haven’t upgraded the wheels or tires yet but the stock ones have had no problem going up and down the old logging and forest service roads of NW Oregon and SW Washington.

                     Thank you for the rec I’ll take a look!
