EV Tax Credit Likely Gone, Tariffs Next? Are you still a Scout buyer without $7500 tax credit?

Where are you shopping?!?! I just got back from grocery shopping.

dozen eggs $2.49
loaf of bread $3.09
bananas 55¢ a pound
ground beef $5.49 a pound
bacon for $4.79 a pound.

All in all, week worth of food for a family of 4 for around $150

Im a whole foods person. And i buy all the healthy stuff. And i said 20 items not 5.

Im only mucking around its still a bit more expensive than $150 for what i buy, its only me and my gf but my gf makes really extravagant dinners which is probably why i can walk out of whole foods wi the out spending 200+

Honestly I think EV tax credit is as good as dead. We'd need to lease then buyout to get the credit and own, so I suppose there's something to be said for simplicity and not bothering with all that.

I figure Scout will start mid/high-$50k, reaching $70k or so for mainstream configurations. We're still in.

What loss of credit does is remove more 'premium' EV alternatives much past that price point, but I really wasn't into anything too prissy anyways.

If I can still get a decently equipped vehicle for under $70K I will still make the switch to the EV. A tax break would have been great but it's not a deal breaker.
