Kris Jenner just reminded everyone who gave her famous daughters their stunning looks. The legendary momager just blew up Instagram after she posted new photos of herself looking quite skinny and incredibly youthful. The comment section lit up with impressed fans. So, let’s also bask in the glory of Jenner’s eternal beauty.
Usually, Kris Jenner’s Instagram is a proud mama zone where she posts her daughter’s accomplishments and only occasionally sprinkles in a photo or 2 of herself. In addition, Jenner has always kept the outfits she wears online quite humble. So you can only imagine everyone’s surprise when Kris recently broke out of her shell.
The 67-year-old leader of the Kardashian-Jenner clan posted a photo of herself looking exceptionally fit in a skintight leather-looking top and matching pants. What’s even more unusual were Kris’ arms, which she almost always keeps covered, especially in public. One comment even said, “I don’t think I’ve seen her arms, like ever.”
The internet instantly blew up over Kris’ weight loss transformation. And, indeed, the famous momager is flaunting her slimmed-down physique. She also recently made a red-carpet appearance at the ACE Awards in New York, and we could see that Jenner looked quite petite.
Kris’s comment section was utterly in awe of her new look as people also noted that she not only looks skinnier, but she’s also shed quite a few years off her appearance:

- “God let me be this young and pretty in my 60s.” — omannadi / Instagram
- “You do not age 😍😍😍” — brookeashleyhall / Instagram
Of course, there were also people questioning Kris’ methods, but her family has a history of dealing with naysayers. Just recently, her youngest daughter Kylie shut down rumors that she’s had a lot of plastic surgery done. And, indeed, looking at how gorgeous their entire family is, you can’t deny the simple power of Kris’ genes.
Car Dealers Shun EVs After Confronting Harsh Reality
According to recent reports, car dealers are informing auto manu facturers that they have too many electric vehicles on their lots and are dialing back orders until their current inventory is soId. Scott Kunes, Chief Operating Officer at Kunes Auto and RV Group, explained that his company is turning away additional EV inventory.
“We have turned away EV inventory. We need to ensure that we have a good turn on it,” he said, as reported on Business Insider. Kunes said that automakers are “asking us to make a Iarge investment….and we’re just wanting to see some return on that.”
Sam Fiorani, Vice President of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions, outlined how EVs aren’t practical for many Americans as they would have to alter their lifestyle when switching from a gas-powered car. “It’s not just that these vehicles are expensive — which they are. We’re talking about a much more nuanced Iifestyle change,” said Fiorani. EVs obviously have a more constrained range than gas-powered vehicles, and charging stations can be sparsely located.
EVs are also notably more expensive than traditional combustion engine-based cars. According to Consumer Reports, the average sale price of an EV is over $61,000, or $12,000 more expensive than the overall average in the auto industry. “It’s hard for the average customer to make that leap while spending an extra $10,000,” Fiorani continued.
Electric vehicle horror stories have also plagued the news, where consumers share personaI anecdotes of the dysfunctionality of these cars. Recently, a Ford F-150 Lightning owner was forced to ditch his EV on a road trip from Winnipeg to Chicago.
The all-electric Ford pickup retails for well north of $100k. However, based on the sentiment from disgruntled consumers, it seems this truck does not live up to its price tag. The man called electric vehicles the “biggest scam of modern times” after his experience with his F-150 Lightning.
While many have lofty projections for EVs in the Iong term, it’s safe to say that these vehicles are not ready to replace the reliability of traditional automobiles. Although, this hasn’t deterred some woke, blue states in the U.S. from preemptively enacting electric vehicle mandates.
For example, California announced it would ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. Such mandates have drawn concern, particularly from automakers who will be forced to play within the guidelines of these new regulations.
“Whether or not these requirements are realistic or achievable is directIy linked to external factors like inflation, charging and fuel infrastructure, supply chains, labor, critical mineral availability and pricing, and the ongoing semiconductor shortage,” John Bozzella, president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation said in a statement. “These are complex, intertwined and global issues.”
Also, many concerns surround the feasibility of a mass transition to electric vehicles. As it stands, this could limit people’s autonomy as driving ranges are limited and charging infrastructure is insufficient. Furthermore, there couId be an affordability crisis as many Americans can’t even afford a new car, let alone the price of a new EV.
