People don’t buy ‘used’ electrical vehicles... They simply become trash.

Can you spot the Joe Biden effect on lithium prices?

It made a Tesla much more expensive by thousands of dollars.

They aren’t serious.

1. They trying to score greenie points
2. They are going after government subsidies

This will be like CAFE (fuel efficiency) standards for automakers. They’ll find a way to officially meet the goal while at the same time ignoring it.

Nobody believes they can convert their entire lineup to electric cars in just 6 years.

Besides, it would be corporate suicide, if for no other reason there won’t be enough charging stations.

Didn’t Chrysler already announce that they’re not going to build cars anymore, just crossover SUVs and above?

Or was that another car company? Ford, maybe?

IMHO-

Prices are up and will remain up because of supply shortages both real and made up.

Auto makers are shifting things in how vehicles are marketed.

The old “build and push them” model is going away. Instead of dealerships being flooded by cars and trying to sell them, the Tesla “build on order” model is being adopted. That means you don’t have excess inventory and the pressure to sell. Also you don’t need massive dealerships etc. as in the past. Tesla originally wanted to go dealerless I believe.

As far as the electric car is concerned. When you artificially force things (through EPA requirements etc), and rush it, the outcome is usually not very good. The media might rave about it, because they see a liberal cause, but the actual consumer “wants” are not ideally met and you end up with all sorts of technical or even safety issues (example when the US ambitiously adopted the catalytic converter in 1975 and unleaded fuel).

Insanity. When all cars are electric, you can expect disastrous traffic jams on the interstates whenever there is any freezing rain. Good luck getting them started again. No putting 2 gallons in the tank and then off they go! Charge will take ten or more minutes. Expect massive jams going on to the next exit.

I seriously question whether humans deserve to be called homo SAPIENS. It should be homo stultus.

Chrysler’s sales in the USA have been declining for years. This is a good idea for them to focus on one market.

Have you every considered buying a Chrysler this century?

If nuclear can provide the recharge quickly and batteries can be improved substantially, why not?

You need to understand. The government is making these decisions.
