    Nope, here a lot of people are wising up too. And he is constantly fighting with unions. His company will be oblitherated by the Chinese EV companies.

    And Cybertrucks won’t pass certification here.

      That’s how a “free market” is actually supposed to work.

      We DO NOT have a free market, nor do we have the regulations required to keep the economy on a sustainable growth track. Which is why we reliably implode. We took the worst of both economic systems and gave a few oligarchs that control conglomerate corporations free reign to enrich themselves through crisis capitalism.

        No we don’t have a free market and we should not want one. A market completely devoid of regulations ignores reality.

      Too bad the US has actively banned Chinese EVs from being imported to focus or their own behind the times shit models.

      I don’t actively research EVs yet as I’m not in the market, but that’s what I’ve read whenever I get a little interest in them. I’m not keen on investing until there are more charging places in my area before getting serious on the switch.

        That’s fair. I’m from a small country with a very high charge station density… so for anything local it’s a no brainer. Plus I have a driveway to change on.
