    Mandate is a political "trigger" word in whatever context you use it in.
  • @daemoncan2364
    "The UAW should be ashamed for allowing China to build auto plants in Mexico"??? I didn't know it was the workers who decide where to build auto plants.
  • @JonBarraquio
    I'm going to guess that Oakwood is supposed to be Oakville 😁
  • @frankcoffey
    Tesla sales will continue to fall. Elon didn't read the room before going all MAGA.
  • @GIddyUpRetep
    For an oil importing country, choosing between an ICE and an EV car is like choosing between a land-line phone (ICE car) and smart cell phone (EV car). The largest car market in the world is an oil importing country (as are 3 of the top 4 car markets). EVs will continue to get cheaper.
  • @davidhuber6251
    I can't imagine how Elon endorsing Trump would effect sales in California...
  • OMG, I bet my neighbour car enthusiasts in the super affluent Town of Oakville don't appreciate being called Oakwoodians... oooops!
  • @trenton737
    Tesla just needs to redesign their vehicles
  • @tonyd.2668
    EV’s are the future get off your horse everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @GIddyUpRetep
    "Model Y is still the best selling vehicle in California"...that is a big deal
  • Any country should be able to sell cars in America without tariffs so long as they are made here by American workers.
  • @by9917
    Rivian sells more EVs than GM? How is that possible?
  • @Carl_in_AZ
    The automotive industry stays alive by economy of scale. Porsche, Nissan, Mercedes, Stelantis, Toyota, VW, Ford, Audi, and GM feel the effects of not selling into China, the world's largest market. Porsche's parent stock (POAHY) has fallen over 50% in the last three years, and Nissan is now listed as junk. Companies like Jaguar, Porche, and Landrover have made major announcements in the last few weeks to drop over half of their petrol vehicles to be replaced by EVs next year. As 2/3 of the world market migrates to less expensive EVs, the US auto industry will become an Island manufacturing country, resulting in a reduced economy of scale.
  • @JohnPMiller
    It's all over for EV's. I guess the legacy automakers should switch back to 100% ICE vehicles and leave the tiny EV market to Tesla and the Chinese.🤔
  • @effingsix3825
    🤔’Oakville, Ontario’. Oak wood? Dunno. Oakville plant was to be the F-150 lightning manufacturing plant.
  • There are multiple methods for automakers to meet fuel economy and emission requirements besides building BEV.
