Buyers are abandoning cars for trucks and suvs more than anything

Ford and Fiat/Chrysler shifted hard into trucks, but after an initial upward bounce, everything went to pot. Take a look at the hit to Ford stock if you don't concur. EVs have an advantage in the number of parts needed to build a vehicle, (lower production cost) and markups on ICE cars in general are lower than on trucks, so we won't be seeing any further attempts at building (or continuing to build) higher-fuel-economy sedans of any kind. EVs also have a flat-on-the-floor performance advantage.

Easy to do when there aren’t many real *cars* in the mass market. Show me something large (American sized), V6/I6 powered, and not over 30k.

Not likely to find many outside the used car market.
