The worst part is wasted opportunity. You had 5 years on the rest of the US EV market and a perception of having at least the best charging infrastructure. Valuable assets.
You spent 10 of those five years on a wankpanzer, FSD (Full Speed Direct-into-pedestrians), and a lorry nobody’s seen, when you should have focusing for the day you’re competing with the Electric Civic and Escalade coming down the pike.
What you should have done, while you had the tyrant’s ear, was to pull a Dodge Colt/Geo Metro. Precision-craft some legal shell game setup that lets you import competent EVs and sell them as a “domestic brand” to bypass the residual “I don’t want a Chinese car” attitudes and some tarriffs. Then you’d at least have a stream of desirable products goung forward instead of the current quirky-but-not-in-a-fun-way Tesla range.
