I love electric vehicles. But increasingly I feel duped

On the scale of This Game, it takes very little money, to buy key people.

BYD buses are considered scrap, as soon as anything goes wrong. "Green" transportation products that are the equivalent of a Bic lighter..... no thanks.

And.... this below, was predictable.....

Don't confuse hardware with software. And both have import and export controls.

Yawn…..nuthin’ new there, they always have.

Maybe those pushing US consumers into buying EV's should consider the ramifications if that policy ends with the destruction of the US auto industry. Nah, too much to ask.

I think the destruction of the US Auto Industry is part of the plan.

I fail to understand those who can't spell correctly.
What's "critcize"?

Good intentions, but that rabbit hole is deep.
Most PC’s are made in China or assembled outside of China using many Chinese parts and subassemblies.
This Apple iPhone I’m typing on, is made in China.
It communicates to my name brand router, which is made in China, which communicates with my different,big name brand modem which is made in China (has a nice Intel inside sticker).
Then you’re off to your service provider who has all kinds of Chinese devices handling your data streams… that’s not even talking about the electronics on the other end….

Millions of people have home security cameras recorded video and audio in their homes 24/7. Almost all are made in China. Think about that one.

We’re screwed…..
All I can do as an individual is make the best of these horrific financial and social times we are in.
