Hypocrites preach mandatory EVs (etc), while flying extensively in private jets.
The Self Righteous evangelize EVs, while ignoring their environmental impacts.

For the most part, European cars never made much headway in the US, except for Volvo and the British Sportscars (MG, Triumph).
Although, IMHO, as long as they were properly maintained, they were quite reliable.
Then you die on that hill, how many European cars did you own to make that claim?Outside of the Germans, Europe has never made a good car and I’ll die on that hill. Some would argue Ferrari but as my uncle who was an engineer for GM once told me, anyone can make a great car for $300k, what’s hard is making one for 50.
The French cars were always considered "quirky". Never owned one, but I always thought the Citroen DS series were good cars with very poor dealership support.The French is on the ball, Renault has had great success with EVs, Zoe and Kangoo small commercial vehicle for many years so tjæjey have experience in this field.
Peugeot and Citroen has to a lesser grade been so early adopters but are now ramping up models and sale. Have owned German, Swedish, French and Japanese cars over the years and it is not much difference in quality. Non of them has failed to take me home and it has been few repairs I didn't ask for as I did run several of them in to the ground with almost no maintenance and care.
As Jay Leno puts it "You don't want Clive down at the Texaco station working on it". From back when..... gas stations were also full-service repair shops here.The thing with a lot of eurocars are that you must follow the book, random wrenching might not be an good idea.
Haven't looked at the US #'s, but I see lots of Benzes, Audis and BMWs up here.For the most part, European cars never made much headway in the US, except for Volvo and the British Sportscars (MG, Triumph).
I remember in 2008 when Rick Wagoner CEO of GM predicted high gas prices for the foreseeable future and started building little cars. Then the recession hit and gas prices ended up at about $1. After that I stopped listening to GM CEOsI don't do TV nor do I think talking heads are powerful people.
GM CEO is getting a lot of attention from high places claiming GM is going to kill off ICE production by 2035.
Fossil fuels are not going away so you do not have to sell all of your oil stocks. EV production requires fossil fuel and will for perhaps centuries to come.
