DevoHusker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Did either of you note the total sales from last year? Whether you like Elon or not, Tesla moves the needle. The others are also rans. It was disingenuous and a pointed rebuke due to political differences...and pretty douchey 2 Link to comment

I don’t think much of this outside of Elon isn’t a very unpopular figure and probably not a face they want to put at the forefront. 1 Link to comment

I know you didn't mean to double negative there...but regardless, if Musk was a hard lefter, do you admit the response would be different? Because it would. 2 Link to comment

Or maaaaybe the announcement wasn't only about EVs but tailpipe emissions, so it includes EVs, hybrids, and ICE vehicles. Which means it affects the big 3 more than anyone. 1 1 Link to comment

It’s getting to the point in the election cycle that never Trump republicans are going to start finding reason to hate Biden to rationalize a Trump vote, I believe. 1 1 Link to comment
