Let’s see what EV sales can really do. Drop the subsidies, drop the tariffs and watch how many Chinese EV’s can be sold here in the USA.

Eliminate tax subsidies, eliminate carbon credits, eliminate tariffs on Chinese EV’s. Electric vehicles are ready to stand on their own.

Time to end the absurdity of tax breaks for electric vehicles. It’s better to concentrate on upgrading the grid and charging infrastructure. Eliminate all EV tariffs and watch what happens.

Going there is just asking for trouble.

Like the switch from horses to cars, the EV transition will have its bumps in the road. Eventually, superior technology wins out. I’m close to being in.

Musk wants to keep Tesla as an AI company so he can keep the stock price up. Tesla’s market cap is $796 billion, GM’s 52.7 billion, Tesla’s price to earnings ratio is 64.3x compared to GM’s 6.06x. If Tesla had the same price to earnings ratio as GM it’s stock should be $91 a share, not the current $249 a share.

You are not going to stop climate change no matter what you do. The next generation will merely move to Canada or Russia. Don’t buy into the doomsday scenario, humans are very resilient.

That’s just as dumb as giving people rich enough to buy new cars a $7,500 tax credit for an EV. If we’re going to subsidize something how about giving someone making less than $35,000 a year a credit on buying a used vehicle that is more efficient than their current older model.

A political hit piece does not belong on a site dedicated to cars. Shame on Ryan King for publishing this, and shame on the editors for allowing it.

Fisker gone, Rivian next.

I lost. It’s as ugly in person as it is in pictures.

The red seats made it a No Dice for me.

It will be interesting to see how the EV transition plays out. My guess is that GM will still be a player but will once again have to be bailed out by the federal government.

If I’m going to go EV, it has to be affordable. If China is the only one making them, then that’s who I’ll buy it from. Biden has made it clear that he really doesn’t care about saving the planet.

The long game is to stay profitable 

It’s kind of strange how the Biden administration touts their green credentials but wants to put tariffs on Chinese made EV’s. Is climate change important or not? I think a good compromise would be no tariffs for EV’s that sell for less than $30,000.

Toyota is killin’ it; Tesla is doing what needs to be done to stay profitable. Both good decisions.

Fisker, Lucid, Rivian, all sure to die. Survivors will be the ones that actually have something that people want now.

If we want to get serious about switching to EV’s we should remove all tariffs and allow our market to be flooded with inexpensive foreign cars. Our automotive industry will still be able to sell the good stuff.
