so we'll have no manufacturers left? With the pending laws and regulations what else is it they're supposed to do?

I don't like this EV bullshit either but the manufacturers are hardly to blame

Oh no, i fully understand that. I also understand its not entirely their fault. I still don’t care. I hope they fail.

Then maybe some will understand that the government choosing what products they create instead of the free market is a bad idea. I understand the logic is lacking, but i still don’t care.

The problem is our Government will be right there offering up our tax dollars to bail them out.

My dream is that all these over leveraged BEV focused companies go under. No more 'too big to fail' saves for any of them.

Let the free market decide what tech is most acceptable. I'm sure there's a place in there for 10-15% BEV vehicles, but these mandates and subsidies to eliminate ICE should end in failure and massive pain.

Same.. haven't seen one yet. In SoCal nonetheless.

I’ve seen a couple around here, but I also work in the public streets setting up traffic setups to do pipeline maintenance so I see a lot of cars. They’re pretty weird looking if you ask me. They remind me of that blind dude from Star Trek and visor.

I thought they looked like the little robots from "batteries not included"

I’ve seen a couple lucid in my area surprisingly. I also seen a bunch of polestars, they look like they’re making a run at Tesla.

My admin has been sitting on an order for a Polestar for like a year now. I think they had supply chain issues. My first thought was that we are paying her too much.

Thats some real boss think right there. The flip side is you want your employees to have debit and dependants. That increases the loyalty factor by 12.6
