Trump is trashing electric vehicles. China is building cars the world wants. US consumers risk getting stuck on an island of outdated technology. China is leapfrogging the US with more advanced, cheaper electric vehicles, while Trump is making moves that could leave the US behind.

  1. No kidding?

    We’re actively abandoning science and engineering in this country. I fail to see how that leads to MAGA, but here we are.

  2. CDMA vs GSM

    Metre vs yards

    Trucks vs vans

    ICE vs EVs

    Islands of outdated technology is what US exceptionalism is all about.

  3. In 5 years, the American big 3 will be only building cars for the US, and will no longer be global leaders in production of vehicles.

    The see-sawing back and forth every 4 years over the past three terms has ruined the US to be a leader in energy and vehicle innovation. Game over.

  4. When it comes to EVs, the US is already far behind.

  5. The cars we build today are not cool enough to make us like a historical car time capsule like Cuba.

  6. Right-winged economic policy and vision is terrible

    We will continue to slide until smart people are back in power

  7. Well, yeah. Running back tot he 19th century was the point of electing Republicans. They’re not going to stop there

  8. Trump and his enablers are doing to the US what the leaders of Sears, Encyclopedia Brittanica, and hundreds of other failed organizations and industries did.

    Instead of adapting to the changing world around them, they buried their heads in the sand and doubled down on what worked 50 years ago. This will set the US back decades compared to our global competitors.

  10. Totally agree, Taco wants America to go backwards..

  11. No time to complain now. We got ourselves into this starting 25+ years ago. We continue to promote companies moving manufacturing over seas to ensure cheap cost, since we refuse to pay premium price for premium goods.

  12. TACO: “I’m the only thing that matters.” “I don’t care about you, I only want your vote.”

  13. Trump is handing world financial domination over to the Chinese on a platter.

    Makes you wonder what backroom deal trump made with the Chinese

  14. Wasn’t the left just crying because Trump did a commercial at the WH for Tesla?

  16. The ministration is working us up about taiwan and taxes while xynna is concentrating on real world issues.

    We’re approximately 5 months in. We’ve lost SO MUCH.

    The WORLD is passing us by.

  18. Thanks Elon! You did this to us. Why don’t you go back to South Africa and fuck up your own country.

  19. Again, it’s not Trump trashing EVs, it’s the vast majority of Americans! They voted for him exactly on this platform! This is the saddest part, most Americans believe climate change is a hoax pushed by the “libs”.

  20. city cars + trains and subways. Americans can not compehend what was taken from them.

  21. Chinese EV technology is like 5 years in advance compared to Tesla.

  23. You mean the country of antiscience morons voted for an idiot who would do what they wanted. Drill baby, Drill!!!
