Which admin was in charge of that printing & distribution of the money?

Amazing.  Absolutely everything you said is fucking wrong.

Part of the problem is that they think Toyota is the one selling them their Camry. But it isn’t, it is a US-based corporate entity. That US-based entity both buys the imported goods from the manufacturer at wholesale price AND pays the tariff to the US government. The tariff makes each imported item cost the importer

To be fair (and I do NOT believe one needs to be fair to Elmo or Tesla at this point), Canada is also flirting with the far-right. That should be worrying to us over here, as their largest trading partner. But insofar as Tesla is concerned, it could be thinking that there are a lot of MAGA-equivalent dipshits in

Elon Musk is a straight up Nazi. If you’re still driving a Tesla, you’re saying you’re okay with Nazism. If you’re buying a Tesla, you’re saying you’re a straight up Nazi too.

Tell me you don’t understand how math works without telling me you don’t understand how math works.

Are you sure you know what inflation is? it’s not the same as shortages.

And clearly nothing to do with supply chain disruptions due to incompetent leadership.

Well about half of the US used to think EVs were hippie bullshit but suddenly thinks buying a Tesla is the best way to show loyalty to our Dear Leader. Musk should call the price increase The Orange-Noser Tax.

eh, the last bout of inflation was caused by all of the money that was given away during the covid pandemic.

It blows my mind that anyone believes that tariffs aren’t paid by consumers. A tariff is just another tax increase, plain and simple...but it’s regressive. I guess the orange man has to find a way to pay for tax cuts for the top 1%.

Correct.  Who TF wants a Tesla?  POS product from POS CEO.

Well, hopefully his lil Nazi salute this week has permanently lost him a whole new swath of potential buyers - in Canada and everywhere else.

All of these dog-eating Haitian immigrants living in Ohio are going to crash the auto industry.  I guess that’s why Ford stock is down 20% in the last six months.

I recently returned from a trip to Mexico, and BYD is already a SERIOUS player there. It’s a big deal in the EU as well, something like five percent of the market over there. 

Know what would be hilarious?

Trump is a little too busy hobbling US automakers with tariffs and killing EV incentives to think about that.

Earmarked doesn’t mean spent. 

China builds Teslas better than Tesla does.

Our military budget is 820 billion, so why can’t we spend 15 billion investing in EV infrastructure and push development from U.S. automakers? At this point it seems like a national security issue.
