    If hes going to do that he should light a fire under the domestics asses to get our own evs up to snuff. And market competitive. None of that whining how it cannot be done either

      Yup if he’s serious then the next move is to turn the Big 3 into the Big 6.

        Why would the main benefactors and purchasers of this policy position (the Big 3) greenlight their destruction? This is US capitalist policy at play. They can’t compete internationally and had to purchase their domestic protection.

          Well the secret here is that the Big 3 don’t physically control that policy. They can only bribe politicians and hope they stay bribed. And sometimes a protectionist policy looks like the bribe is working but it’s just a prelude to a different planned move. Like trust busting.

      Yes. Also, I’d rgue the solar panels are the bigger issue since EVs are a marginal improvement for the climate vs clean energy and biking/walking.
