That’s not new. He’s pretty consistently said he doesn’t think tariffs are necessarily a good idea.

Im already onboard with their power wall and solar tile system. I’m looking into them for my new house when we move in a few months.

That one and the other one -
Dodge did offer a convertible Dakota in the 80s.

There’s an entire generation of people whom I’ve found by and large are pretty much completely unwilling or incapable of learning anything new. you are right about the battery thing. One of the worst things you can do to a battery is constantly keep it on a charger. It’s why phone batteries aren’t perceived to have the life they did in the before time. Yes phones are infinitely more capable than the old Nokia bricks of the late 90s and early 00s but we as a society were trained to think that phones should be plugged in overnight. I’m guilty of that too. I don’t think that’s something that can be “un-learned” as a society.

That’s another fallacy people are just going to have to get over for mass adoption to speed up. EVs aren’t going to give you the same experience as an ICE powered car, they just aren’t and IMO probably never will. There’s only so much current you can pump into a battery in a set period of time to charge it before it overheats and potentially explodes for one. You’ll never fully be able to close the gap on charge time vs. filling up a gas tank. That’s just physics. I believe It’s going to take at least until the majority of Gen Alpha starts driving for the culture to shift enough for people to come to grips with that.

I think That’s where you’re wrong. A lot of the people on the right, or even center-right don’t have a problem with electric cars. What they have a problem with (and I fall into this category for the most part) is the feeling like they’re being pushed without thought for the long term ramifications on the power infrastructure or the environmental questions on the front end of battery mineral mining that the powers that be refuse to acknowledge. Most of the people I know who question electric cars have zero problem with them and even understand that there is a place in the market for it, just let the market decide when the masses are ready for mass adoption, not the government. They also acknowledge that they’re not for everyone.

This is my biggest issue as well. There’s literally only 3 things I really considered must-haves when I was looking and to get all 3 I damn near had to get a Lariat. I don’t want blue cruise or any of that self driving stuff. At least give me the option to remove that. One of the myriad reasons I kept my Fusion.

Holy crap, Faraday Future still exists? I thought they died at least 5 years ago.

I would hardly call the last focus a crappy economy car. Aside from the transmission problems, it had a wildly reliable engine and a very good interior and was well optioned. The problem became when the RS came out, it was very hard to justify paying over $40k for it even as well optioned as it was. There’s a reason it was built in Germany and imported, it was too hard to justify the changes needed at MAP to build it here, it was always going to lose money.
