The US auto industry is in big trouble. China now makes 75 percent of all electric vehicles sold anywhere on earth. US automakers make around 5 percent. (www.nytimes.com)

There's a lot of EV's sitting on dealer lots….

And there’s one of the major problems; using the stealership model. Buying from Tesla or Rivian or Slate is/will be a breeze because it’s all online. No haggling with a stack of shit in a suit about cost or going somewhere to be told “we don’t sell the EV models here”.

Bitch, you’re a dealership. You sell cars.

    Tesla's sales are in the dumps too. Last I checked they were down 9%. Rivian's sales were down to something like a 3 year low as of the beginning of this year. The fact is, the vehicles cost too much for the average American.
