Talk to the people who work there, ...or used to.
Their EV story was an example. They're trying to mask the reality that the public overwhelmingly rejects the EV mandate & US automakers are taking it in the shorts because they were forced to base their future product development on vehicles the public are not buying & won't in the future, unless/until there's a breakthrough in battery tech & affordable, more reliable, electric power becomes more available.
Why do you keep playing this game?
All you're doing is making my point: you want them to cater to YOUR Boomer Republican views, and are complaining when they don't. And playing dumb, acting like you're not smart enough to understand this.
Here's Pew asking about simply buying a EV. Nothing about the subsidies.....
Yep. You're right, shockingly people over the age of 65 are mad that we're pushing EVs. Then look what happens when you get younger.
If I didn't know any better, the younger Demo are staring at the world we're leaving them, watching temps rise and parts of the world becoming uninhabitable, and want to change course.
What a bunch of idiots, right? They should give up.

...the idea of phasing out the production of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 faces more public opposition than support. About six-in-ten Americans (59%) say they oppose this, while 40% favor it.
The share of Americans who favor phasing out gas-powered vehicles has declined 7 points since 2021. Support is down among both Democrats and Republicans.
Get with the program. Even Kamala is backtracking on the EV mandate. Your fellow airhead socialists think electricity is free because they don't watch their electric meter spool up when they charge their EV. They think it's green magic.
What do you think EV sales would have been without a $7.5k tax credit. Have you checked prices of used Tesla's.
The green chic factor has worn off.
