When reading the news story from NY Times stating that car manufacturers were begging that the government force them to make more EVs, I knew it was bogus.

I've read some of the quarterly reports from these car makers and they all report that the government regulations regarding EVs are a drag on their profitability.

In other words, auto makers made bad investment decisions (they did what the government wanted them to do) and now they want corporate welfare to keep rolling on and on and on and on to the end of time.

I’ve seen numerous stories that the auto makers and rank and file workers want no part of any mandates.

It’s frustrating they are pushing electric cars, when the electrical grid can’t support so many electric vehicles.

Our current electrical grid can’t accommodate a hundred million electric vehicles charging overnight.

If the global warming pushers had their way, we wouldn’t all be able to recharge our vehicles.

I’m not sure about this.

Big business loves mandates that “force’ cinsumers to buy thier products, may that be new refrigerant, epi-pens, vaccines (equired for publoc schools or covid)...

So called “environmentalism” or “public health” has all to often become a means to force the purchase of new products.

If your EVs are so good you don’t need no stinking mandate

The primary lie of media isn't even the political bias.

It's the pretense that they even know what's going on.

The NYT is under the delusion that the ink upon its pages creates reality.

No more electric car mandates!

USA out of the Paris “climate” agreement!

Give leading roles in the new administration to academic “climate change” skeptics, whom the climate jockeys call “deniers”!

Lower the cost of beef, lamb, etc.!

Stellantis can’t sell its ICE cars. They’d love to get out of spending billions to expand EV production.

The NYT is lying.
China is the only one wanting mandates so they can destroy GM-Ford.
They already have destroyed Chrysler.

We have one guy pushing the NYTimes 2, 3, 4 a day, sometimes in quick succession.

Article is complete bull-shiite. Ford itself has lost billions on their EV project and I imagine the others have also. I firmly believe that the FedGov strong-armed the auto people into developing and building EVs and is covering some of the losses with our tax money. It is inconceivable that any sizable auto maker would build a mass market product that had only a few thousand potential buyers.

Of course cancelling the $7,500 rebate will simply add $7,500 to the already unbelievable sticker price.
