    If they can’t sell it, then they’ll lower prices and people will be able to buy them.

    I doubt the profits are so hard to come up with considering the wild CEO pay and record profits everyone’s bragging about.

    Well today is a sellers market! A war in the gulf, Operation Epstein Fury, is just what the public needs to make EVs more affordable and attractive.

    EVs require much less maintenance…dealers make much of their money from… maintenance! So they mark up the sale price to compensate for their lost revenue.

    The solution is selling cars without dealerships, but our helpful state legislatures have made that illegal in many states.

      And you need a safe place to charge it. Like a garage. I can’t afford a house so why would I buy a Nissan leaf (any cheap ev)? I can’t just run an extention cord out an open window. I also can’t just leave a wireless ground pad charger plugged in unattended outside. It’s all linked, nothing happens in a bubble.
