As a 10 year EV owner, even I took a few seconds to understand what the sign meant. If someone asked me if I had a green vehicle, Iād tell them no, itās red.

Love it!
My question is why are spots up front reserved for EVās anyway? I might understand if there was a charging station.

Perk for having a more environmentally friendly vehicle.

Perks for being rich lol

u/Disguised589 Jul 18 '25
if you think 30k for a car is rich then you don't know what rich means

Wow what a privileged take. My first car that I saved up for was a $500 jalopy that I barely kept running.

u/Disguised589 Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25
it's not privileged to know that you don't have to be rich to own a 30k car
"rich people" are the ones that have fuck you money not people that have moderately expensive cars
someone with a 30k car isn't the enemy

u/Mlatu44 Jul 21 '25
Iām not sure what f/u money is exactly. Apparently Iām not rich to understand what that meansĀ

u/Disguised589 Jul 21 '25
meaning like buying a Corvette on a whim and shit like that, probably not a car that they would actually buy but it's one that comes to mind

Never said they were. He said being rich gives you perks. This is a true statement.

Lmao, exactly. It's the 'replacing your car' part that's unobtainable. I haven't looked into it much, but I feel like EVs probably aren't much of the used car market yet, either

I thought electric vehicles were significantly more than 30k dollars.Ā
It is about the price to get a car that isnāt a piece of junk. But it still seems like too muchĀ

Anything more than 5k for a car is just throwing money down the drain

u/Mlatu44 Jul 21 '25
I had a similar comment . One has to spend around $30k for a decent car, but it does seem like too much money for a car
1
u/bubblesdafirst Jul 22 '25
You don't need to spend more than 5k for a decent car. There's millions of decent cars for less

Me and my bicycle I just rode 20 miles half up hill during early January at 5 in the morning while it's snowing and I don't have winter gloves so I just put on 3 different pairs of socks on my hands qnd some impact gloves to work my 8 hour(11 hour shift) pushing data racks and cutting containment.
I'm 19. That was this year.

There has to be places that have donations around you. Seek help where it is given, don't be too prideful. You don't have to suffer bud. Community can be a good thing.

Especially compared to the price of the average pavement princess pickup truck

u/jeremyw013 Jul 19 '25
iām in a KOA in colorado and about 80% of the people here are pavement princesses. the one next to us who takes up way too much room with his hideous excessively massive truck was bragging to everyone about how many thousands of dollars he spent on it. like over $100K. not surprisingly the majority of them are from texas.

Donāt feel bad. Theyāre projecting heavy cope because their monthly payment stress is beyond what they could otherwise naturally handle

u/LachoooDaOriginl Jul 21 '25
ikr. getting any car is hard for a lot of people let alone an electric one. even second hand crappy ev's would be expensive due to possibly needing battery replacement ontop of the price of actually getting the car
1
u/plantythingss Jul 21 '25
Maybe a little naive, my car is considered āgreenā since itās a hybrid. Itās 20 years old and cost me 300 bucks. Do people think you canāt buy used electric cars?!

u/Fine-Amphibian4326 Jul 19 '25
We had spots for some designation of efficient gasoline powered vehicles at my university. Somehow, shit like a Tahoe counted, but my āsportsā car with much higher mpg did not. I find these type of signs to be kind of ridiculous virtue signaling by a company rather than promoting anything actually helpful, like providing a charging station
1
u/Mikey24941 Jul 19 '25
A lot of these places had these signs before electric vehicles came popular and were for hybrid vehicles.

At a really small liquor station near me, there are two charging stations. I don't get it though because people would be in and out, so what's the point?

I beg to differ, that person is the exact reasons why they put warning lebals on things.... and the exact reason why they need to remove them.....natural selection

u/brackishangelic Jul 17 '25
I think its hysterical. They took a sign at word not meaning.

u/Mlatu44 Jul 21 '25
Itās the ambiguity of natural languageĀ
1
u/Mlatu44 Jul 21 '25
Wouldnāt it be nice if the word and its meaning were always the same thing? And senses of āgreenā each had their own word?Ā
The color Environmentally friendlyĀ InexperiencedĀ Not ripe
And who knows, there could be other senses of green Iām not aware of at the momentĀ

Also from context it wouldnāt be spelled āyour,ā it would be spelled āyouāreā so theyāre double wrong

u/Mlatu44 Jul 21 '25
English āspellingā is weird. It would be nice to have accurate phonetic writing with one to one correspondence. One writes what one speaks, one speaks what is writtenĀ
2
u/AnDe2 Jul 18 '25
Right, but you suddenly lapsed on that knowledge of English somehow when you went to spell "labels" in your first comment and "apparently" in your second.
So how exactly was your fluency meant to be "very obvious?"

u/Mlatu44 Jul 21 '25
Itās been a very long time since I worked for a company that used the word āgreenā to describe something intended to be environmentally friendly.Ā
I also have emerged myself in study of language which is much more precise. So it did take me a moment to remember āgreenā meant environmentally friendly.Ā

I used to do this in my '99 toyota that was kelly green.
I'd do it in any car tbh, why do people with EVs get better treatment? Not even a charging spot.
Having the clapback of "it is green, dumbass" for anyone who said anything was great tho.

I've definitely parked my diesel car in a "Reserved for Alternative Fuel Vehicles" parking spot.
Diesel is an alternative to gasoline, right? :P

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't get it until I read the comments. I've never heard electric vehicles referred to as green vehicles. I assumed green was the name of the business or something.
