The popularity of Teslas has not translated to every manufacturer's offerings being in demand simply because they are an EV of some kind.

This will prove to be an ongoing dilemma that legacy builders may never reach parity with Tesla. Their only hope will be gov't regulations (including bans and outlawing of ICE altogether, etc.,) to reach the stated goals of artificial gov't and manufacturer targets.

The video doesn't even include the burden of the UAW strike that will make competition with Tesla even harder.

Don't put it past them to engineer a gas crisis.

1. Establishment- 'Our problems are your problems' w/ gobbledygook message.
2. People- ''No'
3. Dubious Crisis- 'Our problems are your problems' effective blackmail.

It looks like the EV Truck explosion is hitting a giant brick wall.

Ford can't give away their Lightening. I think they have even stopped production of them. They are all just sitting on the dealer lots.

TLDR: Majority of Americans don't want EVs, they don't want govt banning ICE, and the people who do want an EV are looking at Toyota and Tesla. Kind of funny, bc I heard Toyota's current and past CEO's aren't all in on EVs themselves, lol.

Let’s hope this drop is enough to get manufacturers to continue development of high performance ICEs. I don’t care if economy cars are EV, but keep high performance cars burning gasoline. I honestly don’t care about any EVs, supercars or not. I don’t even click the articles on motortrend and car and driver announcing new high powered EVs. Just doesn’t click for me.

So our Camaro Club did a drive to a nearby apple cider mill. Seven Camaros. While we’re there I saw two Rivians, five Teslas, and an Ioniq5 drive in and park. Another Rivian drove past. So seven Camaros, nine EVs. Times, they do be a changin’.

It’ll be a long and painful road…

Lets hope neither of those Rivians get dented

Spoiler - Due to idiotic engineering and design, dent repair = $40K

The first gen Honda Rigdeline had the same design issues. This is why with the second gen onward Honda separated the bed from the cab.

Curious to hear the Pro-EV side of the recent media news.

I do not have numbers or links but currently I am seeing

EV Trucks sales and plants are cutting way back
EV buyers are switching back to gas
EV sales have slowed down

This could all just be growing pains though.
