You seem so certain of that, but the numbers don’t add up when I run them.
I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it’s a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

The car I’m driving is 25 years old
How much does it cost to import?
Used EVs are looking like not as good a deal as used ICE vehicles due to the battery replacement costs.
Modular interior options would be great
What are your initial impressions regarding the Mach-E compared to other EV options?
I can’t believe that none of these car companies believe that most people don’t like the large computer monitor mounted to their dashboard. It looks like shit. It’s distracting. It doesn’t work for the use case better than other options.
Why is lease financing strange here?
Dealerships are also concerned about the direct to consumer model that has shown to be viable and the inevitable tide of Chinese manufacturers taking over the market.
What type of business?
It has the potential to be a primary vehicle for most people.
After 100% tarrif, it might still be competitive with the lackluster options in the lower end of EV in the US.
So directly, absolutely not.
Indirectly, probably.
Do you think that prison labor and undocumented workers are a significant portion of the labor used to produce EVs in the USA?
it’s not the manufacturer that bears the cost of tarriffs, it’s the customers.
And the locals that lose their means of providing for themselves.
The counterpoints are about local US employment and thinking comparative advantage is bullshit.
FYI anyone with access to the database of the hosted instance can do whatever they want.
