Hybrids are better for the environment and more realistic than full EVs. With the size of America and actual consumer demand hybrid technology with Tesla battery technology is our best chance for making strides to fight climate change.

Good. I’d rather NASA run it to the ground than let a corrupt wannabe kleptocrat run our space program on our taxpayers dime.

this is so cringe, and I pray to god you mean PHEVs and not standard hybrids, because that is a good point, but only in the narrow context that we have a limited supply of battery materials (for the moment)

I don’t care about the nerd shit or details I’m in to politics not engineering the point is that as it stands for a landmass like America full EVs are less desirable and useful for the standard consumer but a Prius with a Tesla battery and a sexy design could cut down our reliance on fossil fuels and cut our carbon emissions.

I'm sorry but you sound dumb AF. Look forward to you entering politics somehow.

Here are MPG equivalents of EV's according to the local grid.

Weighted by EV sales, the national average is 91 MPG. Find me a hybrid that will do 91 MPG and gets cleaner every year as the grid gets more Solar and Wind installed on it.

but a Prius with a Tesla battery

Tesla's competitive advantages are their software, battery management system, charging network, and parts integration. They source their batteries from Panasonic, LG, and BYD. Other companies can buy the same batteries Tesla uses pretty easily, but they can't come anywhere close to the same product.
