    Oh no! What a completely avoidable and predicted turn of events from some of the worst corporations to exist in modern history.

    If only US automakers didn’t squander every bit of global and domestic goodwill they had in the markets over the past several decades. Who would’ve ever thought that the group of corporations that decided it was cheaper to lobby for racist protectionist policies and gaslight the world against climate change than to R&D affordable, reliable EVs would… lag behind in EV offerings when demand continued to grow (despite their best efforts)!?

    Don’t worry, I’m sure the US Govt. will bail them out again. For some reason “General Motors execs need another beach house” seems to be a pretty bipartisan policy.

      Check out the documentary made about the GM EV1. They had a viable electric car YEARS ago, yet they abruptly ended the program and destroyed almost all the cars.
