[Tell It Right]

To be fair to Chrysler and other car makers, I'd be truly afraid of long term costs for engineering gas/diesel hungry cars/trucks out of fear the Dims will keep their promise and outright ban them. Combine that with ESG investing policies by pensions and such, the Dims have made a scary future for building ICE cars.

I'm not saying I like it. I just hate conflating Chrysler's decision with Budweiser's Dylan stupidity.

If the regulations on ICE cars and trucks would remain the same for a decade, the costs would nosedive for 80% of what the public wants to replace.

So much of cars and truck cost is chasing the efficiency and safety standards driven by the last generation of safety standards. Let the industry built cars that weigh less than 1.7 tons and don’t have a vertical to oncoming air cross section of a barn door (for pedestrian safety, stay the f off the road kids), even the 2026 CAFE standards are not that big of deal.
