This comes off very much as "stop being poor lol." Was that your intent?

Not to pile on, but this is a similar vibe to people telling others to stop complaining about gas prices and just get an EV.

Some people can't afford a $38k car, heck, for some even $10k for a car is out of reach. There are people who have no choice but to buy a 20 year old ICE vehicle and pray it doesn't die. These same folks suffer due to the regressive nature of fuel tax.
