Blatantly ignoring a "well known" problem - resulting in numerous failures and customers left holding the bag = class action and punitive damages. There are many reasons for "problems"

Looking at either vehicle inside or outside there is 0 difference. Interior space is exactly the same. I can’t speak to under the hood. I haven’t popped both beside each other to look, but I wouldn’t care anyway. You give up nothing on this model. Normal daily driving the mileage is better, that I can tell you. drive hard, tow, or higher than 100k highway speeds, you aren’t saving anything.

0, you'd never know the difference between mine and a non hybrid - they're identical on the inside and outside My neighbor has the exact same vehicle - non hybrid model - can't tell

That is what I have. I will admit it works VERY well - and IMO - is the absolute perfect/best of both worlds and nothing more than that is needed to save all of us from melting, or freezing, whichever the climate changers tell us will happen

They are willing to pay whatever it takes - vs sleeping in tents on the street. That is the point People are "willing" out of necessity to pay double what they should be because there is NOTHING else available. Our government had a very heavy hand in helping create that particular portion of the situation

The problem is widespread and has many factors: It's not just one thing, that's for sure. That said, the Feds do however have a big hand in it on the immigration policy. When you allow insane immigration numbers into the country - you have to house those people. There is only so much housing and demand has exceeded available housing - which naturally pushes values/costs upward. It is a very easy problem to solve. Canada right now is exactly like my work - our work feels we need to keep growing ( profit of course ) but there is no organic growth left - our only growth is through acquisition/consumption.

Everyone laughs at us these days. Our hubris gets in the way of reality

Geez, go to a big truck show! things change and everything dies. That's how it goes

The way I see it is that the only way to get new or more people involved is through us. That’s it. i just don’t see someone completely removed and ignorant to it seeing a sled go by and going out to get one. Anyone I have taken out has enjoyed it, but they don’t have cottages, and the cost to get in are just too much. You can suggest buying a cheap older sled, but most don’t want that, and most have 0 ability to turn a wrench and fix what they can. it’s a different landscape. Adapt or die

I’m not. That would be wishing for it to happen, What I am being is not surprised I am in your boat. i want to see it all thrive and last forever

more to come too.

Well, in 10 years, there won’t be anything to work on except to change a battery!

I'm actually surprised people wouldn't want to work on older bikes - wouldn't those be actual "mechanics" - not part changers? Easier to work on too?

Yup, saw Dover turnout was strong.

There is, and in today’s world, anyone not new or not owning their buildings in an impossible situation. Harley like to force units too.
