  • EVs have been on the US market for 14 years and barely penetrated 7% market share. Tesla has killed half its models. Most US EV startups have gone broke.

    Lemmy wants Japan to make cars no one is buying. These Japanese car companies are not funded by a cult in a Ponzi scheme, they actually have to sell cars to stay afloat.

    Making a bunch of cars no one will buy I guess makes people feel better.

    I know people in this industry, and they know designing cars based on internet comments is a disaster. They know to stay afloat you need to make what people buy, not fantasy cars labelled “green”.

    Ford sold 823,000 F150s in 2025, up 8%. EV sales actually declined 2% in the same period.
