bringing back coal mining and horseshoe manufacturing

I think my glasses are smudged

Apparantly they have also been removing bike lanes in some area’s….

Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.

Non-EV cars don't run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn't made its way up the supply chain.

Especially when you see some of the tech being rocked in Asian cities

This admin has set the USA back 100 years.

Again. They already enshrined "billionaires get all the money" in the one legislative victory of trumps first term.

This isn't exclusively a problem of the new administration, or the previous. All administrations since the late 20th century have been compliant in allowing the offshoring of most industry

But… but… those good ol’ days felt so good! We need to relive those days!

I don't think that's what they meant. I think they are just saying that people are still buying EVs, but they are just going to Chinese and other manufacturers instead of buying a Tesla. The article specifically calls out the stupid shit Elon has been doing.

I would say go with whatever company that doesn't have a CEO throwing Nazi salutes.

Root for better public transport and active cities instead of car dependency :)

It would be nice if there was a way to rip out any questionable software/electric components from modern cars and replace it with something open source.
