Absolutely mind-melting to hear reps from a company that salvaged the concept of GE's EV-1 and turned it into the wildly popular Prius turn around and bemoan battery powered cars.

What causes executives in the automotive industry to commit these acts of self-harm so consistently?

Uh..they make cars people buy? You guys live in a fantasy world. 3 of 4 cars selling right now are ICE.

Aptera

Canoo

Nicola

Bollinger

Tesla

Are just a few examples of EV companies broke or going broke.

2 in 3 as of last quarter, and it's a number that continues to shrink year over year

And you're delusional if you think Tesla is "broke". They have a trillion dollar line of credit

Nikola was never and ev company. Their only vehicle was a truck that could only go downhill. It was a pump and dump scam without a product.
