Then don’t buy from Felonia dickMusk. You’ve still got Lucid, and various EV models from Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Honda, Volkswagen, etc.

Honda did (which doesn’t surprise me, Honda is an engine company that happens to make cars), Toyota is still in the game, and they’re dragging Subaru with them into it.

Honda’s pulling back because they bet on the USA for launch, but Trump happened, and the Chinese are killing it in every other market, so they’re backed in a corner and the marketing people figured it’s better to take the L than try and proceed in a hostile market.

They also entered the market years too late and with a subpar, more expensive rebadged Chevy SUV rather than just giving us an electric accord or whatever.
