In the context of EVs in the United States, I’d say it is. It means there could not possibly be any kind of “captive import” version like you suggest, unless they were also to start making it in Mexico.

You mean that heavier cars cause more damage? Yeah, that’s true regardless of the means of locomotion. So why was it OK for people to be driving around such heavy cars even before the advent of EVs?

I will never buy any car that does not have an instrument panel in front of the driver, above the steering column. Elon Musk is an idiot, or he doesn’t drive.

Americans don’t believe in infrastructure. They can’t stand the idea that someone else might benefit from driving on roads that they helped pay for. See also: healthcare, education, etc.

My question would be why you’re driving such an oversized overweight ICE. My car weighs 3250 pounds.

Um... no Allante, no Bundy Bounce. Therefore you are wrong.

Two dumb questions:

How to say “I don’t know much about cars” without saying it. It’s only one of the raddest, most bonkers cars of all time, but hey whatevs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Stratos

How ‘bout a Cool Car from the ‘70s? I know that this one has been tried before, but I’d be OK with someone trying again:

Nah. You want mini, go mini:

...which I see has also been covered here:  Penn State Professor Previously Charged With Bestiality Faces New Charges Including Masturbating On State Vehicles (jalopnik.com)

Hey, fun facts - this guy has also been charged with masturbating in public places in a state park (he’s a professor at Penn State, BTW - I know the article says so, but I feel the need to reiterate it) and having sex with a dog.

“Hey don’t blame me, the car did it!” ...is going to become an actual defense that actual people/lawyers start using at some point.

“I Can’t Believe I Have To Say This, But 80s Cars Are Good”

Journalism, people! I want to know why someone had a bag of rotten fish. Are they a delicacy of some kind?

“New warnings and driver notifications may be more visible than they were before, but by putting them on the center screen, Consumer Reports found that they actually take drivers’ attention off of the road.”

I didn’t say they did. 

“but you only get to burn 10 gallons of low-test 87-octane regular gasoline” They don’t have “87" in Europe. Even “regular” over there is 95 RON which is equivalent to ~90-91 AKI in the US.

Re Ford Edge: You might want to point out that this is the last model year, so if you really do have your heart set on one (for some unfathomable reason), better act fast!

OK, so how did CR define “American”? What does this list really mean, besides clicks for you folks?
