    I found a “What I’m really saying is…” Translator. Here’s the output: “We can’t compete.”

    Because of current economic conditions, it isn’t that easy for established auto makers to enter the EV market. The risks and decisions Tesla can make are because they are solely an EV company (and started 10-15 years ago).

    Well if Mazda hadn’t made a lump of crap, their sales would have been better.

    Yes yes yes, everyone wants rotary engine cars that burn a quart of oil every 500 miles and self destruct after 5,000.

    With 8% of all new car sales in the United States being electric vehicles, and Tesla accounting for 57% of those sales, that means that all non-Tesla electric vehicles make up just 3.44% of the total US auto market. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some automakers pull out of the electric vehicle market.

    Did all of the Japanese companies get together and agree not to build EVs that are any good? I mean the Leaf is okay for what it is, but beyond that, it’s as if they’re trying to fail.

    What the US really needs is regulations like the EU has in place. Mainly for the manufacturers, who would be forced to make very compelling EVs that people want to buy in order to be able to comply with the regulations. Too many manufacturers are half-assing it and not getting anywhere.
