“I think a more accurate description is the EPA told them “That is a nice car company you have there, it would be a shame if something happened to it.”
I don’t think anyone at the EPA said that to them. I don’t think they needed to. The Biden green subsidies and tax credits were incentive enooug, they thought.

No that is not right. All the domestics were lobbying for more stringent EV mandates while toyota, for example, was lobbying against.
This was regulatory capture which paid off when Biden won and gave them the EV mandates they wanted.
For this Ford douche to finally drive around America and pretend to be “concerned” is the final act of fakery for a situation that they lobbied to create.
“I don’t think anyone at the EPA said that to them.”
The EPA told them they are not going to be allowed to only sell ICE vehicles.
