But that's alright, look how long it took flat-plane-crank V8's to become available to a class of people who were never able to afford them prior. Not everyone wanted them but, a core group of people did; and that's great to have that option.

I, for one, am going to get the new Blazer EV SS. Sure, it's like $60k or something but, I'm getting it because I want to support GM's efforts in this transition and it'll make for a great commuter for my family and I. If I ever had to take an extended trip, I'd plan a charging route or, I'd just use a different vehicle.
Ditto the bold part. Plus, the $66k will be offset by the incentives allowed under the IRA bill that just passed, and the savings in gas over the life cycle of the vehicle.
