      Yup, also American automakers get plenty of subsidies and bailouts from the government too. It was always about not wanting to make electric cars. 🤷

    That’s what the environment needed. More people buying more cars. I bet the floor mats are 100% recycled.

      Electric vehicles are peddled as some sort of cure to climate change when they are only a bit better than gasoline cars since they still need the massive amount of infrastructure needed for cars. I stilk think that people buying an electric car when their gasoline car breaks is reasonable enough if other transport options are unavailible. But our focus should be on making those other options of transport both availible and reasonable rather than focusing on a specific drive train technology.
