The fact is we don't have the capability to build this car 100% in this country. We don't make batteries or hundreds of the other components that go into making a car, much less an electric one. At best we can assemble it here... At best. What we have here is another promise from this government that has doubled the national debt in 7 years. And like everything else Morena touches, it will fail. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tiral@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago Yeah basically.
