The US already lags far behind China and Europe, but we're going too fast, dealers say.

    They can’t sell EVs because they cost too fucking much. Everything’s gone up but our wages, but we’re supposed to just keep buying shit anyway? Fuck this economy.

      BEVs are fundamentally more expensive than conventional cars. That is the real problem here. Blaming the dealers won’t change that.

    These stories piss me off, because I tried from January to May to buy a Chevy Bolt from a dozen plus dealers and all I found was markups, falsely advertising customer pre-ordered vehicles as available for sale, and even 3 year old models with 5000 miles being advertised as “new.”

    I finally gave up and bought a used car from an independent honest dealer. All this talk of EV’s not being able to sell is just the dealer tactics coming back to haunt them and I say fuck them

    It is not in a dealers best interest to sell vehicles that require less costly services for the life of the car which is a big ongoing revenue for many dealerships.
