Only 2 cars actually - both J bodies.
It's more like only 2 companies will survive the next 2 years.
I’m dialing it in right now and it’s not as bad as you might think.
We know who isn’t going to survive: complainers who dial it in.
By January, WFH will be a memory for most office workers.
If you think employers are going to coddle people as the financial crisis escalates, you are in fantasy land.
Many are about to get humbled.
Don’t use TikTok. It’s a CCP propaganda tool.
You made the same stupid post in the Ford forum.
EVs are no more than a glorified battery-operated old-time golf cart. They run out of power at the 18th hole and the golfer must walk back to the club house. Not reliable but a novelty if one has plenty of other vehicles to count on.
"Do they roll the balance onto the next new EV? "
Well, they do that with their fullsize trucks, already....
Where does the lithium, cobalt and nickle come from? Who mines it? What countries produce it? Where are the batteries made?
Where do the 2 ton EV batteries go after 100k miles when they are no able to hold charge? What happens the the car when it can't hold a charge?
What happens when people still owe thousands on an EV and the EV can no longer hold a charge? Do they roll the balance onto the next new EV?
What happens when Americans find out that only 13% of their electric energy comes from renewable? Will they feel lied to when the find out that the vast majority of the energy comes from coal, petroleum and natural gas?

Currently hydrogen is mostly produced by natural gas, which we want to get away from.
Hydrogen is also hard to store because it leaks out of containers.
As the national grid gets cleaner and relies more on wind and solar, EVs will get cleaner automatically.
New battery technology like Toyota's will perform better and reduce reliance on lithium.
I think EVs are the better way to go.
Meh, gonna shrink in size but two players? Don't see it. That doesn't make strategic sense. Sooner or later a multi fuel energy approach has to surface. Toyota and Honda both have hydrogen and nitrogen piston engines in durability testing right now. Who knows what skunk works stuff if puttering along the highways of Europe and the US. It's not an exclusively EV world, but EV should be part of the solution.
