MODERATORS
So they’re responding by making more affordable, efficient vehicles, right? Adopting new technology, right? Right?
Seriously, all they have to do is make an EV or hybrid under $20k and not try to push subscription BS.
But how will they make money next quarter if you spend money on them this quarter only???
People need to understand that money sitting around in a savings account is bad for the economy. You owe it to your country to be in debt. /s
No. Buy a ferd f150000 to stomp your neighbors and make liberals cry! Go on TOUGH mountain trails with 18 row seating and 13000 lbs of Karen fuelled road rage!
*note can only carry 1 person 99% of the time. Cannot touch a non asphalt road or warranty void. Must kill at least 3 cyclists/children monthly due to 0 visibility.
Just sign up for this $1,800 per month loan for the next 90 months.
Houses were more affordable than this when I was a kid.
No, they want everyone to have more money to give to them...
Reminded me of a UAW spokesperson being interviewed on tariffs...
When asked why he had advocated for auto tariffs before the tariffs came on, and now why was he complaining that the tariffs were unaffordable, his explanation was simple, he wanted tariffs only on the things that competed with them, and the rest of the economy left alone so that everything can be more affordable except the stuff they did.
They want to sell those high margin high priced cars and are grousing because the rest of the economy isn't fueling the consumer budget enough to fulfill their ambitions.
