The disruption is HUGE!!!

UAW feels an intense and passionate dislike for EVs!

VW uses about 30 hours to produce one of their new ID EVs, whereas Tesla needs just 10 hours to make a single Mode3.

The CEO of VW, Herbert Diess ( THOUGHT TO BE AMOUNG THE TOP AUTO EXECS) was fired because he wanted to be like TESLA.
The German state Lower Saxony holds a voting share of 20.2 percent of VW and the unemployment would be very expensive.

There are 889,964 people employed in the Gas Stations with Convenience Stores industry in the US as of 2023.

I believed EVs were a good idea until A-hole biden started the government cram-down.
As with most government interventions, it will turn to shite, waste billions and favor an inside group.

Organic growth of the EV market shows it could be a useful product.
Attempting to speed the process and it becomes a tower of Babel.

BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE!

Need a ball joint for your old Dodge? NO PROBAMBLO.
Need a ball joint for your XYZ EV? Good luck with that one, 100k were manufactured, 20k imported to the US, and 3 different versions of the part that look similar.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE.
