They actually did try, but Bidens battery valley was shut down, and what EVs they did make did not sell.
its worst than that. Ford retooled their battery production to support AI
I guess I meant more of an earnest try. I feel what they did was like a reluctant high school student doing their homework by signing their name and randomly marking something in the assignment with no real effort.
Maybe be ause they were not being competitive about it, with the pricing.
Or marketing was shit.
And it probably had some convoluted rebate system bull shit that no one trusted.
Same with solar. We had people going gangbusters door to do, in Walmart etc pushingnsolar, and rebates and blah blah, but its like, "bro, you are going door to door, pushing thousands of dollars stuff, thats questionable". And I keep hearing the wrong billing option fucks you over. If the state showed up at my door with a crane and said "we are putting solar on your roof, you won't pay for electricity again" I woukd go for it, but I am not trusting some fly by night installer tied to god knows what billing contract, sold by some out of towner in the Walmart meat department. Because everything sold by US companies is a fucking scam on some level.
