I’ve said this in other threads but the US is going to become a third world car nation. The rest of the world will have cheap EVs, and we’ll still have expensive ICE vehicles. Other companies that are allowed to sell here will use us as the R&D sink, while just sticking the same old engine in newer after newer vehicle, while coming out with cheaper options elsewhere.
Yup. The irony of that situation is not lost on me, but since the US is so car brained and reliant on cars, companies know they have a captive audience who needs to buy cars, so which better group to push your highest margin products to?

More pollution and more cost. Ain’t the US great?
Seems so backwards given how car dependent the US is as a country … (yes, in NYC and some others you don’t need one but for the most part)
