And malls, shopping centers, resturants are busy...And yet, the roads are full of dudes cruising around in brand new trucks.
It is unreal.
I often marvel at what I see in the parking lot at work. It is no mystery why I see the owners working a pile of overtime.
My first house wasn't much more than that.

Our first 2 houses combined wasn’t that much. Crazy.My first house wasn't much more than that.
The amazing thing to me , beyond the price of course , is people do not do any research on these new vehicles, especially those with new powertrains before they buy. 90% of them will have to go back to the Dealer a half dozen times or more for warranty work in the first couple years, and will likely have costly failures not far outside of warranty ! yet people still buy them ?
I wouldnt hold your breath just yet. Even in Europe they are having to walk back some of this all electric stuff.Trucks are about to get WAY more expensive than that. In the next few years, automakers will have to comply with regulations that state they must produce a certain ratio of electric vehicles to every gas/diesel vehicle, depending on the emissions of the vehicles. It's about 2:1 EV to Truck for a 1/2 ton. EV production isn't anywhere near high enough to accomplish that, so trucks are about to get scarce and even more expensive.
Remember, it's not about the environment. It's about making travel too expensive until the only option for most is renting in cities with public transportation. Just another tightening of the noose. They can't TAKE our cars, so they'll just make them too expensive for anyone to afford.

in 1982 I built my house by myself. I paid someone to lay the blocks for the basement, and to shingle it. I paid another guy to finish the sheetrock while I was laid up in the hospital with a ruptured appendix. Total cost.... 28k55k in 1997. The famous starter home that no longer exist.
People go straight for the gold on the first house and cars now days.
Yes and its got them stirred up too. There is currently a $16 per day tax on driving a gas vehicle in London.I wouldnt hold your breath just yet. Even in Europe they are having to walk back some of this all electric stuff.
