Much of the US “domestics” are a mixture of Chinese, Taiwan, Mexico with a little splash of US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 You missed the point. Making something worth buying and then selling it is American. The Tesla is a piece of fucking shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing american about subsidizing the purchase of vehicles that have as their most valuable components rare earth materials mined by slave children at great environmental expense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will start trickeling in. As with the other automakers. They are just too small to be a real global player currently. 13 hours ago, BOHICA said: Rare earth’s???

I know the next argument is, If you look at the progression of tech so far the amount will almost be zero soon... A small precentage in a massive batter is still alot. Especially as these companies actually sell cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare earths are required in ICE vehicles as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
