In the “rest” of the world, EV’s are the market sales leaders
With regard to EV’s, America is pretty far behind. I suspect that EV’s will never obtain the prominence here that they have in Europe, China and the pacific area.

The Tesla’s noted do not satisfy the ruling providing a tax subsidy. As a matter of fact, few made by others do either
The market will decide the EV verdict.
