I would have expected more heat from something called “Thai Green Curry”

Any mass market product is going to be “white people spicy” at best.

Why don’t you look at the drive’s SMART data?

$225,000 per charger is quite a deal.

Everyone is making way too much money off of this for a blanket ban to ever happen.

That’s your body suffering from whiplash as we’re once again back in the era where you never know whether someone is telling the truth or not when they make a wild claim about the president like that.

OP’s situation aside, that doesn’t even fit your generalization here, many pizza places fired their delivery drivers and use these services without really informing you. I recently ordered from Pizza Hut and didn’t know my pizza was coming via these services until they text me that they were arriving. Naturally I only got one of the pizzas I ordered and the other was one that someone else ordered. Someone with terrible taste who thinks jalapeño and pineapple are appropriate ingredients for a pizza.

Yes, they’re easily solved with a larger fuel tank that can take you further before refilling. “Doubling the range” on an ICE vehicle is as simple as some extra plastic/sheet metal with very little cost. The same isn’t true for battery packs. The physics of it is that gasoline and diesel have more energy density than lithium (or other current compounds) batteries.

Who’s going to volunteer for the slave labor and heavy subsidies it takes to reach that price though?

or you could just (god forbid) build them here in the US.

Even cars built in the US from US car companies have to have parts imported from Canada and Mexico (sometimes shipping back and forth multiple times). These tariffs will raise the price of every car.

Can you explain in detail how that’s possible for them to accomplish?

What a crock of shit. They’re $15k because the government is paying for the rest of the car, they control the lithium, they don’t give a shit about environmental regulations, and they use slave labor to produce these materials and cars. The only way any other manufacturer in the world can compete with this is if they also do all those things too. If they choose not to commit such atrocities, they’ll go out of business, leaving us completely reliant on Chinese auto manufacturers for all our needs with millions of Americans out of work. This isn’t a “US car” thing. No other country is producing cars in such a manor. US manufacturers only make up 30% of the market here.

This is just a bunch of vapid influences being manipulated and then spreading it to all their followers like a virus. They won’t see anything past the fake cheap price and demand the Walmartification of ever more US manufacturing jobs.
