“One thing I can promise, however, is that we will never make an all-electric Mustang”

I don’t really know the course, but from what I can read, the players have credentials they can flash to go through the main gate, which is also where spectators enter. Scottie flashed his credentials as instructed and continued on, unaware that there had been a fatal accident.

The players are issued identifiable cars to drive to the course in.  Half of the blame for this should go to Valhalla for not having a separate and secure player entrance.

To be fair, in the eyes of Republicans, removing a staunch GOP justice and burning to country to the ground are the exact same thing.

You keep doing this thing where you blame the OEM’s and completely ignore the fact that the US government hasn’t actually committed to EV’s or EV infrastructure.

I don’t even know why you jumped into this. At no point was I discussing the “real problem” (of which there are many). I made a suggestion to a single reply and you turned it an angry conversation about the American real estate market. Go away dude.

There are a not insignificant portion of people who are not willing to spend an extra dime on anything and will inconvenience as many people as it takes to save that extra dime.

What high yield savings account is only earning .04% interest?  I’m earning 5.5% on mine versus the 0% it would earn in escrow.  Why allow the bank to invest my escrow money when I could earn 5.5% on my own instead?

Sure, eventually. And eventually the world will move past EV’s.

Maybe. As a general statement, people who use escrow generally have a harder time saving money (which is why people like to lump it all into their mortgage payment and have the savings tucked away for them). Normally, these people don’t have the padding in savings in the event that the market crashes and their…

There aren’t a whole lot of “safe” options outpacing inflation lately.

Well yea.  The US runs on short sighted decisions.  Again, not unique to the auto industry.

All of that money spent, and not a single American OEM can be confident that the country itself is behind the idea of EV’s, which is where the problem lies. China and it’s government are firmly behind EV’s and have been for two decades. America and it’s government changes it’s mind every four years, which means…

I sold my home in the suburbs of Detroit (you know, that city that Americans think is a bombed out war torn looking hell hole) for almost $450/sq foot. It was a single family ranch built in 1952 with modest updates.

Open a high yield savings account and put the escrow part of your monthly payment into that account.  At a bare minimum, at least your earning some return on your money until you pay your taxes instead of the mortgage company earning the interest.

All of the comments that show up on these tariff discussions always ignore half the story to make arguments in favor of cheap EVs.

Also every single one of these “local” automotive stereotypes applies everywhere.

It doesn’t help that the US has an entire political party dedicating a huge portion of their identity to eliminating EVs, creating a complex and confusing regulatory environment for OEMs.

Ok so lets discuss a few things. They Big 3 (which really isn’t 3 anymore) is pushing further into EVs and fuel cell development than, let’s say, Toyota. So does Toyota simply get a pass here because they used to be nimble?

Again, based on what evidence do you say “they don’t actually want to do EV’s”?
