GM cancelled EV cars

Propaganda. GM never quit making ICE cars. Quit spreading propaganda.

Do you own and drive a GM EV car? Or is your car an ICE car?

The video is unavailable which may suggest it was inaccurate information.

Regardless, the government should not put their finger on the scale for new technology such as this. It is far too early to force the adoption of it and the companies who signed on early probably did so for the easy cash, especially emerging technologies. Once CEOs keep losing money, what will be their response? To off shore thousands of jobs to cheaper labour locales, that's what

Really? Maybe the Canadian govt does not fund it but in the US, many technologies got their start due to US govt funding.

Some examples are microchips, GPS systems, smartphones, Darpa (Internet)... and many more.

That's what gives the US its edge.

Elon's cars have fire problems. Elon is brilliant. Elon is not going to change to gasoline soon. This is not about me Magnus. Elon's prices already have fallen.

So, you are no longer Musk's butt-boy? I guess things have changed from that earlier thread, eh? Thoughts & prayers.

ICE.

NO I did not. I will dig deeper however.

ICE.

So you owe the EV nothing at all, currently!!!!

Take your time, bud. The fake news isn't going anywhere.

What is your problem with Elon Musk? Butt boy you say? Magnus, how fucking dare you.

Tax break, funding etc, sure. Punishing people for using the alternative is absurd, cruel and authoritarian in nature and it violates basic business sense. Furthermore, these are multi-national companies not just American domestic businesses.

Do you want the taxpayer to reimburse every dollar loss by these multi-national companies?

 

[Robert W]

Take your time, bud. The fake news isn't going anywhere.

Are you an EV owner/driver?

 

[jotathought]

Biden has no authority to make such a mandate.

Reading the executive order, it's geared towards federal government use of vehicles.

What is your problem with Elon Musk? Butt boy you say? Magnus, how fucking dare you.

The truth hurts, eh?

Provided that is that the Feds could use such things in the Defense industry. As I recall, it was Reagan who was president when the things you mention were created.

 

[Robert W]

The truth hurts, eh?

Sure it hurts you.

 

[pknopp]

I never thought I did.

 

[Magnus]

Are you an EV owner/driver?

Nope. Never owned one nor even driven one yet.

But the difference between me and you is that I am open to new technologies. And do admire people like Musk who make it possible.

At the same time, I am not blind to their faults. Don't think that they walk on water. In short, I am not a butt boy like you.

 

[Magnus]

Sure it hurts you.

Sure it does.

Unconstitutional, the Government can not force you to buy a product.

/——/ Except when they force us to buy vaccines, obozocare, and mandated features on cars. I’m sure there’s more.

Fake news. This is the latest news from GM. Does not look like they shutting it down.
