The problem is not that there is no demand for electric vehicles. The problem is that substantial technological hurdles had to be overcome in order to provide consumers with a product that incorporates the best of both worlds. The R&D required to get these revolutionary products to market takes time. Once problems like range anxiety can be overcome, people will make the conversion happily, I think.

The scariest part is that a lot of damage can be done, much of it irreparable, in the next 2 years before mid-terms. There is already a barrage of gun control bills in the pre-filing queue. Registration - check Database - check "High" capacity magazine bans - check All semi-autos covered under NFA - check Mandatory government-supplied self defense insurance - check Red flag orders nationwide - check Elimination of online sales of anything firearm related - check Backgrounds checks for all parts and ammo - check Liability on manufacturers for guns used in crimes - check There's hope that the filibuster will be maintained, although you can't count on a Democrat to keep their word. SCOTUS would likely toss a few of the above items, but not all of them. Any 2A supporters who voted for Biden because they hated Trump that much owns this. Even with the suspected fraud, the outcome might have been different if the 2A community set aside all other issues except for this one that really is the most important to the future our nation. Now, we have a militarized capital with walls and razor wire. We have a government declaring up to half of its citizens as "domestic terrorists." We have a dictator in chief who has signed more EOs than the previous four presidents combined by this time in their terms. How is this better? "Anyone but Trump."

One more thing, if you receive a thing in error that you had not ordered or otherwise contracted for you may not simply keep it and refuse to pay for or refuse to return the item. That is unlawful conversion, even if by accident. The concept of "Finders Keepers" is a thing between children, not courts of law.
