    And Tesla died in 1943. This hasn't been a setback for the marketing experts.

    Long gone and turned into a munitions factory during the war.
    I understand India has a competing "go-kart" from Tata motors, but it can't squeeze by NTSB standards. FWIW; I don't think the Yugo would either.....:(

    Let's not forget that there are some cars made by companies that are already established in the USA which were discontinued in the USA but not from production.

    It is possible that Mitsubishi could bring in more Mirages, Toyota could bring in the current-generation Aqua & Yaris, and the hybrid version of the Corolla Hatchback.

    I'm sure there are similar Hondas and Nissans though I don't know their lines as well.

    GM could probably go back to the Daewoo well.

    Not hard to picture VW pimping more golfs and maybe the Polo.

    It's GM Korea now, or more accurately, it is again. It was first so before becoming part of Daewoo. Before GM's first involvement, it had partnerships with Toyota. Daewoo Motors - Wikipedia

    The Sonic/Aveo was a GM Korea design, making the Bolt a product of the Daewoo well. Its drive train and battery was mostly LG as well.

    If you dig into Tesla’s second-quarter earnings report, there is a line showing Tesla’s regulatory credits dropped by half to $439 million from the same quarter last year. Even in the first quarter, Tesla still collected $595 million from competitors with combustion lineups.

    If history is predictive, this is how the sociopath in Chief coils up to strike his next victim. Former Trump fixer, Cohen is the example.

    After leftists shot up & burned down cars, chargers, & stores, it's unlikely any relationship will be much more than covert.

    paraphrasing trunk, 'people say i'm going to pull Eon's government contracts, and i want his business to fail.
    that's not true, i want all american businesses to succeed.'

    i'm pretty sure he is the one who threatened Eon with canceled contracts.
    could be that now that the bbb passed, he isn't concerned
