Yes, Tesla, GM and Ford all got way in front of where buyers were, now they need to get back to what customers really want (not massive BEV pickups)

Yea, thanks. I'll save Joe the trouble:   socialism noun so·cial·ism ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm    a : a system of society or of group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

The market chose ICE vehicles over electric and steam at the turn of the last century, without government mandates to do so. By and large, the populous was uninformed about the effects of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere, as we are now. Fast forward a century and a quarter, our collective desire to generally be good stewards of the planet's resources, is creating a demand for cleaner transportation. We as a global society have trillions of dollars invested in ICE vehicle manufacture and petroleum refining. As generally good people, we'll get there, but at the market's pace, not by government decree.    There is a granite shield stretching from Manitoba, Canada through central Minnesota from volcano eruptions a billion years ago. Mastadon tracks with those of humans in New Mexico, evidence of tropical plants in ice core samples in Antarctica. Things are always changing. And if we reach the theoretical tipping point where the planet goes into runaway temperature rising, as good stewards we'll figure it out, driven by the marketplace at such a time. We just need to not get ahead of ourselves.

You need to look up the definition of socialism.

Automotive is still 100% capitalism.  Manufacturers are still privately owned and still decide what to make and sell - within regulations.  Anyone can start a new company like Rivian and Lucid and compete with the existing players.     My neighbor thinks billionaires are hoarding money and causing others to be poor which is ridiculous.  My home and my retirement investments have doubled in value the last 7 years.  That didn't take money out of anyone else's pocket.

Except It doesn't mean what you believe which is that nobody wants EVs.  It means nobody wanted 100% EVs.  There is a large percentage of the population who do want and are buying EVs and that will continue to grow as EVs get better and cheaper.  They're not going away.

The problem is Ford and GM listened to and believed everything King Biden told them: You will build only EV's and the consumer will be ordered to buy them!  Sounded like socialism.

Truer words were never spoken!

Yea, many sectors of the U.S. economy including automotive are further away from true capitalism than the same sectors in the EU because of regulatory capture. @Biker16 has discussed the issue on this site. 

Yeah, aging hippie boomers are part of that group as well. The perpetual victim/professional protester.
