Not warranted to work below 20 degrees or in major snow storms or crossing the Rockies in winter.

Personally, I’m happy to let the Chinese dominate production of a product that nobody needs and is destined to fail.

Yep, they just traded communism for fascism.

Think of Mao’s reign as “shock therapy” for China to break with its past and start from ground zero.

Most Chinese are glad they didn’t have to live during Mao’s time, but they do believe what he did was necessary for China to eventually become the power they are today.

It’s the same about how Russians feel about Stalin. They didn’t have to live under the tyranny, but they did somewhat get the benefit of the fact Stalin did take Russia from a backward, feudal, agrarian society to a superpower.

—”Americans should not be expected to have a fit.”

You never know until you drive it for some time.

A friend’s new Olds disappeared one day, and the insurance provided him with a mini Chevy, IIRC made by Suzuki.

He is a large man about 6-4, I ask if he drove from the back seat with his head out the sunroof.

He said he hoped they never recover the Olds, cause he liked the little Chevy!
AND HE DID KEEP IT AND DROVE IT FOR A FEW YEARS.

For commuting into the city and making calls around Chicago.

The family car was a Suburban.

“Correction: China, Russia and India created the Green viper that has bitten the West.”

Well to be fair, it was the Soviet Union, not today’s Russia. The people of American need to quit being dumbed down and remember this Russia shit was created by Hillary, her op using the FBI, CIA, DOJ, MI6, the MEDIA, and a whole lot of back-stabbing Republicans to destroy Trump. -Even if it brings us to WWIII and the United States gets completely destroyed.

You can easily spot the pioneers; they have arrows in their backs.

Take a peak:

You would have me climb a mountain? For some marketing blurbs? No, sir, not at all.

China. Where the communists own most of the world’s supply of the raw materials to make these batteries. China where slave labor and ruthless bureaucrats can force companies and people to do whatever they demand. AND China, which is building enough electrical capacity to charge all these stupid EVs.

It is no wonder the democrats love China so much.
