Even Republicans are falling out of love with Tesla

listings of used Teslas have risen by two-thirds since the start of the year, twice as much as for other EVs.

That hints at a deeper problem for Tesla: stiffening competition.

"It’s wrong to call these supersized vehicles sport utility vehicles (SUVs): a large proportion of them are not used for anything sportier than a supermarket run. Rather, we seem to have crossed over into emotional support vehicle (ESV) territory. A lot of the tanks I see on the road appear to serve no other purpose than making their owner feel better about their insecurities."

And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!

#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.

  • Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.

The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!
