Your home away from modern life.
U.S. automakers have backed away from electric vehicles, even as global sales are booming. The decision may make them obsolete.

Maybe they know something we don’t? AI data centers making electricity scarce/more expensive?

This seems like such a doomer article. I don't follow the auto industry super close but, I am a big Cadillac fan. Cadillac, last I checked, is still in the procces of going full electric which started in 2022 with the LYRIQ which was a huge success. In 2025 Cadillac had a 12 year sales high with almost half of those being EV and it shows, I see them all over the place.

Teslas are American EVs. The best selling EVs in the country. The big 3 are giving the future to Elon Fucking Musk. Canada and Mexico will likely be driving BYDs. What blew me away was learning that Honda was giving up. Didn't they build a robot as an engineering exercise just because? They aren't trying to stay competitive in the automobile industry in the future, but they built a fucking robot. Not impressive for a revered engineering company. RIP.

I recently bought an EV and I quickly learned why people like them so much. I don't want another gas car. I guess the big three just want to fail. (or get bailed out)

UAW definitely had a hand in it. For the first time they didn't endorse the democratic nominee. Don't let them off the hook so easily.

Well, yeah they were terrible candidates. But, lesser evil and all that.

Okay, what possible way is Trump the lesser of two evils in the eyes of a progressive?

Because there were only two electable options. But you already know this and are just dodging the question. Try again, in what way was letting Trump win the lesser evil for a progressive voter?

That's a lot of words to say you don't have an answer still. Try again.

Nope, that's not the question I asked. Keep trying.
