Too much information.

I predict a violent, bloody revolution in Europe against the EU within about 5 years. The snakes ruling Europe need to be put into the ground.

“”Major manufacturers are confronting a perfect storm of economic challenges that threaten the industry’s traditional foundations.””

Any industry needs reliable, inexpensive energy. The Wizards of Smart in Germany turned off all of the electricity generated by nuclear power plants.

Go Left, go broke.

"We have the Compass."

Sorry, no. Jeep has the Compass.

They can always put tariffs on China but that would be admitting globalism is wrong and Trump is right. They’d rather die in the dark at the hands of a muzzie.

I wonder if the British firm Lucas has toyed with the idea of an EV? (If you know, you know).

Just remember when jump starting, with Lucas the positive is the ground, not the negative.

Used to call Lucas, "The Prince of Darkness."

One need only look at the recent lunacy of Jaguar's "new direction" to explain why. You sell cars, right?

Those types of policies in addition to trying to force EVs on everyone will not work out well.

And their electric vacuum was the only Lucas product that didn’t suck.

“Nothing is driving this disaster but artificial goals set by authoritarian climate cultists with zero understanding of how the real world works.”

Another PERFECT EXAMPLE of why we keep losing. Sorry, but these “climate cultists” know EXACTLY how the real world works, which is why they’re so damn good at carrying out policies that destroy the real world.

Until we are able to ACCEPT the fact that the other side is PURE EVIL and wants to destroy everything we’ve ever known, they will keep winning, and that is because our side thinks we can ‘educate’ them, when we really need to CRUSH them.

The motor vehicle industry should be financially balanced by country.

Heh.

Joking aside, Lucas actually did design an EV back in the mid-'70s (oil embargo backlash). It was intended as a mini taxi, IIRC.
