Jobs would be lost by one manufacturer, but gained at another. It's not like the demand for automobiled would dry up. Simple economics. :roll:evnow said:So, you are hoping millions lose their jobs ? Bravo.MikeinDenver said:Let us hope so.

Hmmm.... I wonder what the Chevy Spark EV is...

No kool-aid here, just common sense. If certain US companies cannot compete, that is not the taxpayers problem. The majority of GM's parts are made in China anyway. Who is to say that Tesla wouldn't take some of that void in a few years?TomT said:And more than likely they would not be U.S. Manufacturers... Me thinks you may have been drinking a little bit too much Republican Kool-Aid... :roll:

And even if one did buy a compliance car, they are SOL with getting any warranty work unless they pay for the shipping(both ways) to CA or OR. One hell of a way to treat customers.MikeinDenver said:Exactly. Nobody can buy the things even if they wanted to.

Clearly US law protects the consumer from shenanigans like these, but these POS companies seem to want to deliberately break those laws. Let's give them more taxpayer monies, that'll work out great....TomT said:It hasn't stopped a plethora of people from buying the Toyota, Fiat, Honda, BMW, Et Al...

Three years ago they had the only viable mass-produced plugin that was remotely affordable. I wouldn't call that nothing.qwk said::lol:LTLFTcomposite said:Sad to see so much GM bashing when arguably they have done far more to further electrification than almost any other manufacturer.
I don't know what planet you live on, but here on earth, GM buried the NiMH patent, crushed EV's, and still doesn't offer an EV(hybrids don't count). Yeah, they are really furthering progress.

An auto manufacturer cannot deny warranty coverage in the US for cars sold in only in California. Google is your friend. I cannot believe that you are that ignorant. People change jobs, move, etc. Wherever there is a dealer, they must service that make. This is why the owners that get an attorney involved in the out of state Rav4 EV purchases have techs flown in. The ones that are ignorant get bent over and pay to ship the car back or end up selling them.TomT said:Pray tell, what laws are they breaking?

Hybrid. Still burning gasoline is not progress, it's stupidity. :lol:LTLFTcomposite said:Three years ago they had the only viable mass-produced plugin that was remotely affordable.

Whatever. I have used zero gas for the past 16 months. That must not count in your book, since I'm not driving a government motors automobile? :lol:TomT said:And clearly you are well acquainted with stupidity... :roll:

So now the # of posts equal knowledge? Give me a break. You obviously don't like reality or the truth, and when called out, .TomT said:And clearly you are well acquainted with stupidity... :roll:
For someone with so few posts, you certainly have found a way to quickly make a "reputation" here... :lol:
