    My point was that american companies have in the past on purpose designed cars, washing machines, etc. to fail so you need to buy another one in some years. Both EVs and ICE cars at ford, GM, etc. adhere to the same leadership and company goals regardless of how they spin it.

    Ford was known for letting a failed known design flaw kill people in the past since they ran the numbers and it was cheaper to battle people in court (a topic in ethics classes). Once the trust is gone, it’s hard to get it back.
