It’s just stunning to think that people as highly paid as are auto manufacturing executives have shiite-for-brains. Any moron could see that electric vehicles (except for Golf carts) are not the wave of the future!
My personal experience has shown me that a set of people with the highest level of formal education just accept whatever information they are presented without question. At work, some of the most educated have fallen for the most obvious email scams.
If they can fall for that, they will fall for anything. EV are good, communism is the only way to go, CO2 is poison, borders are unnecessary, leftist riots are peaceful demonstration and right of center peaceful protests are white supremacist riots.
I think the lefty CEO’s figured on the gov moving faster to force EV’s on people. Historically when you have a tyrannical government taking control you see business “leaders” trying to position themselves to benefit from it. You saw it with the bolsheviks, you saw it with the Nazis, and now you are seeing it with the democrats.
Funny thing is I do believe EV’s are the future. Not because of the green cultists but because electric motor characteristics are much more suited to the needs of an automobile and battery technology will get better. Left to a free market they would get better and eventually be adopted without coercion. However, with this government the coercion is the point..
