K, so, buy something that doesn’t use that. Fuck em. Buy a thing that costs you far less. Use your brain for a bit, stfu and buy a cheap Chinese ev. It saves you 2 cars in fuel savings, thousands of dollars in maintenance and still sells for a bit after that period.

Just rip that bandaid off. Save money. It’s okay.
