We’ll be back to where we were in 2008. The economy will hit the dumpster and we’ll have to bail out these assholes who only make pavement princess pickups.
That’s what they make because that is what sells. Pickups and SUVs are also very profitable because they are sold at huge mark ups. They are relatively simple designs that are comparatively cheap to manufacture. I’d completely understand their position on this if it weren’t for one thing… the future. They should be working to develop huge electric trucks for the US market. The big mark ups won’t be there anymore, but it’s better than going bankrupt. Americans will be driving Rivians I guess.

The one Rivian I sat in had a distinct “America made” feel with large gap tolerances and somewhat rattly and cheap feeling.
I also hate the giant screens with literally no buttons anywhere.
Sounds all-shitty to me, and I hate trucks on top of all that. Still, I’d pick one of those over a cybertruck any day.
Tesla had the highest profit margins in the industry.
are you sure? I thought the margins weren’t very good for them because they were trying to keep prices down. maybe that’s only the model 3?
Because tesla is mostly a software company posing as a car company in order collect data and beta testing.
