Yeah, this is the industry blaming a famous person for making sense.

Replacing the gas guzzlers with EVs would be great, but the cost/benefit ratio isn't there. If you need a new car and can afford an EV, get one.

Car manufacturers need to do more to make EVs more affordable. They need to do a better job making their argument that they are good cars with significant environmental benefits.

They won't, because they still want to sell gasoline cars.
