This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it.

But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote.

So you get Cybertrucks instead. Enjoy!

@mekkaokereke My BYD Dolphin cost 569,000 Thai Baht. That is around 17,500 USD. It is a compact car (not subcompact) and it is a joy to drive. Why does a decent electric car cost nearly twice that in the US? Clearly they've lost the plot.

@jeffmcneill AFAIU, the Big Oil fought against electric cars in USA so long that in the end, electric cars only managed to break into the luxury cars' market segment there.

Big oil only did so much, the average American doesn't care about climate change and did very little to push for greener technology. Just look at the gas guzzlers most people drive.

I know that when I talk to the average American they proudly proclaim they don't give a shit about climate change.

@HakeemG @riley @mekkaokereke the average American has been hoodwinked and captured by extractive industries. Politics is mostly corrupt, and ascertainable so under Trump
