Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America Reports” that people who do not want electric cars were like those who wanted “landline phones forever.”
Buttigieg said, “Let’s be clear consumers have wanted and purchased more EVs every single year than the year before. Tesla is facing more competition as GM and Ford and Stellantis and other competitive players make sure they get a piece of the EV market. Let’s be clear, the automotive sector is moving toward EVs and we can’t pretend otherwise. Sometimes, when these debates happen, I feel like it’s the early 2000s and I’m talking to some people who think that we can just have landline phones forever.”
He added, “The reality is the automotive sector is moving towards EVs and the U.S. can fall behind to China or we can claim the lead. President Biden wants to make sure those EVs are made in America especially again as more Americans choose EVs every single year then the year before. We have to make sure those are made on American soil in places like northern Indiana where I grew up, places like Michigan where I live right now. During the Trump administration China was really able to build an advantage in the EV market and Obviously not because they’re big environmentalists over in China, just because that’s the economically smart play. We’ve been working to make sure that advantage comes back on American soil.”

It was a big, ugly, multi-switched, multi-tentacled monster that was encased in beautiful quarter-sawn oak and just fascinated the heck out of me!
When the land lines are compromised the cell towers still work. Smart people don’t put their eggs into one basket, but have backup and parallel systems in place.
That is SO racist!

I like them too.
Even the fanciest cellphone is a couple grand. I spend around 200 bucks on an android which does far more than I need.
An BEV worth owning (non-union Tesla) is well over 50 grand.
Laughable, I’ll never spend that kind of money on a car.
