…Tesla - by far the nation’s biggest EV maker - have told a Trump-transition committee they support ending the subsidy…Elon Musk, one of Trump’s biggest backers and the world’s richest person, said in July that killing the subsidy might slightly hurt Tesla sales but would be “devastating” to its U.S. EV competitors, which include legacy automakers such as General Motors.
Jesus. So much for the idea that Tesla is working to accelerate the transition from ICE vehicles to EVs.
I will never buy a fucking Tesla. Ever. I would buy a Chevrolet Equinox EV, and I encourage anyone who is in the market for a new vehicle to buy one before the tax credit goes away.
Edit: I would also get the Honda Prologue. It’s also eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. So is the Volkswagen ID.4.
Chevy volt was and is still a great car. 2000s Chevy trucks are amazing. The Cruze is a steaming pile, the bolt had a battery problem but the ones that got free replacements are doing great, can’t think of any other major issues with Chevy tbh.
Saying you’d only buy a Ford is crazy work and just shows you really aren’t super informed about cars at all. The focus, the edge, the escape, the ecosport are all dogshit. Certainly not better than gm.
Neither of them are Honda status, but the dud of the 3 domestic manufacturers is stellantis save for ram 1 ton trucks.
As long as you take care of it, they seem like solid cars. And this is coming from someone who has pretty much only ever driven Japanese cars (and driven them into the ground, to well I’ve 200k miles). At least the ones from like 2012-2015… I can’t really speak to other years
Yeah Honda and Toyota are goated. Toyota recently is falling hard tho. Be careful if you’re in the market for one soon, 2022 and up Toyota is losing their reputation quickly
Their volt program was excellent. Gen 1 volts are tanks. I have a gen 1, and gen2. The gen2 has 1 big issues with a free recall to cover it. Still a great car.
Bolt is good too so far. I got one with a replaced battery from the recall.
Well that’s good. I still don’t trust Chevy’s build quality since every one I’ve driven in the last couple decades had problems bad enough for recalls. Also the interior trim of everything just feels cheap to me. We went with a Japanese PHEV instead

I’ll honestly buy a Toyota, Honda or Hyundai before I ever buy a GM.
The first two are built here in North America and give jobs directly to my friends.
GM and fuck off an die. They’ve turned out turds for 30 years now and don’t deserve to be helped to stay afloat.
The only legacy NA car manufacturer I’d consider is Ford.
But yeah, you’d be a goof to invest in a Tesla vehicle at this point.
The Prologue and Equinox are a joint venture between Honda and Chevrolet!
As a Canadian I would never buy a GM product because of the shit they pulled after 2008.

I’ve been driving a Fusion Hybrid for years now, and it’s been surprisingly great.
I always wondered how ford hybrids were, my mom has a regular fusion that has been a champ for 250k miles so far.

That truck Scout is planning looks really good for anyone in the pickup market.
I love the way those look
Are Teslas cheaper than the others?
No, but they are the only vehicle members of the Church of the Crypto Musk are allowed to buy.
After driving several Chevy vehicles over the years, I’d never buy one myself. Would definitely not trust them to make a good EV.
