Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (auto manufacturers, drivers, mechanics, et al), needs to tell the government to bugger off with their edicts!!!!
They so easily crawled in bed with this admin over the EV thing, ‘eff them all.
He will do whatever China wants.
WE are the (neo) Marxists now
TeslaHumper and his buddies imposing prohibition on the little people with no mandate
It’s hard to feel sorry for GM & Ford when they’ve kinda been cheerleaders for Biden’s EV-mandate crap instead of pushing back.
The American capitalist system is at stake.
The idiots who run the woke government/corporation/partnerships are simply doing what Communist China does. Shameful.
If they get sand kicked in their eyes enough times maybe the corporate bosses at the auto industry will stand up and fight. The money given them from taxpayers for battery research (2010s) and then switching to EV production will not be enough for the losses as people not forced by law to buy an EV will revolt and leaave them on the car dealer lots.
If Trump wins these mandates will be reversed on his first day.
….and the automakers will bend over again without protest.
MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY, the US Consumer faces a Grim Future with Der Führer’s decision to ram EVs down our throats by outlawing ICE cars via a back door CO2 maneuver.
Maybe Congress can stop this. (ha, ha, ha, ha)
Not good enough, We the People should be Demanding loudly and publicly that ALL Government Employee’s Nationwide be PROHIBITED from Using, Owning or Possessing ANY ICE powered vehicle of any kind and exclusively use EV vehicles for ALL Travel in perpetuity.
> Not since Prohibition has the federal government sought to ban a product as popular as the internal combustion engine. <
Prohibition: Alcohol banned by a Constitutional amendment, passed by Congress and then by 46 states.
EV mandates: ICE vehicles banned by unelected bureaucrats at the EPA.
Quite a difference, eh?
Union support gets hosed.
You are the carbon they are eliminating.
What impact will this threat have on the fuel distribution infrastructure?
The #ing Rats are reckless and disruptive.
You could almost say it’s going to be a bloodbath.
Product generations in the auto industry take decades to phase in even with the established IC tech. Work to overhaul product lines that started in the 1990s really didn't hit the market until 2010 or so.
NO way are domestic automakers going to be able to invent an entire electric car technology (much of which does not even exist yet) for practical electric cars and then convert 2/3 of their production to build these cars in less than 10 years.
On the other hand, China is building massive electric car manufacturing plants in China to saturate the American market with cheap, poorly engineered electric vehicles made of Chinese manufactured parts assembled by Mexican workers once the new laws hit.
This will wipe out American car makers and gift the US car market to the Chinese in one fell swoop.
American Politicians are selling out the American auto industry to China.
US automakers eventually go bankrupt, get bailed out by the federal government and then get nationalized.
Wonder what the UAW will do in the future. betcha policicians and big wigs will still be using gasoline autos.
The rest of us will be using horse drawn autos.
I believe they are determined to have their legacy be that they led the US into a green energy paradise but in effect will be know as a totally incompetent administration.
