Cars with no powertrain electrification at all no longer make any sense. Combustion cars only make sense in countries with lots of cheap fuel, except really they still don't make sense because AGW, but I'll go ahead and put that aside here. The performance and even reliability benefits of a hybrid are just too significant, and the cost continues to fall. The price is only an issue here in the USA, where we don't make the batteries or controller components at scale yet/anymore and it will take time to ramp up in the best case.

I don't honestly myself want a Chinese car, and I even see a national security argument against them, but don't know if that really merits banning them or just installing some auto-deploying pop-up bollards in places which really should have them already.

No one provided you with roads?

How many times have the US automakers been bailed out?

Worldwide sales of the S class plummeted when Lexus brought out the LS.

The idea that China is a communist country makes sense only until you read the definition of communism and find out there are numerous incompatibilities.

Not all cowards are Nazis, but the one modding me down is

Cowards are dumb as fuck, especially the cuck ones happy to see their country fucked

You are a coward. That is all you will ever be.

Unions can't help people who were replaced by automation.

And that is why we will bail out the American automakers when they inevitably fail again

For example, making idiots think AI is an arms race and not a cold war

Would not invalidate warranty in the US due to Magnusson-Moss

From the silence I bet not. That thing will grenade momentarily. See FordTechMakuloko on YT

Racism is real and Leon is a Nazi

The thing about that is that sometimes you get into weird situations where you need knowledge from multiple disciplines to function intelligently
