Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

My Rivian and Lucid stocks were doing great before Trump fucked everything up.

Bail while you can. Nobody is going to buy American for a generation.

Maybe internationally, but people in the US are itching to get good non-Tesla EVs and some of them aren't stoked about Kia and Hyundai, unfortunately.

I will rejoice the day I’m allowed to buy a BYD.

I'm happy since years with Renault - first we got a kinda old Megane, that really was awesome and my wife really had her heart in it

So, when it was time to sell, because repairs would have cost us more than it's value, we were lucky that they brought out a Megane E-Tech (EV) and it just really is great
It could have some higher charging speeds, but it drives like a dream and the power of the e motor is nothing to compare with (well, besides other EVs)

It's a rather small car, but it's perfect for the city and we can still fit our snowboard/skis for such trips.
And shortly after we got it, we were driving on a highway with a 100km/h in a tunnel. Besides us was a tuned up Porsche and naturally we had a little race after the speed limit was lifted.
The Porsche driver couldn't keep up with the acceleration and you could really see his face getting red and more red, because his expensive tuned Porsche couldn't keep up with our efficient city cruiser

It's also great to get by cyclist in the city, because you instantly have the torque you need, and don't need to shift back and hope to hit the right spot of the engine.
There is pretty much no latency and...we just fucking fell in love with it

It's a really great car and I don't know, why Renaults seem to be not available in the USA

I will rejoice when I get my Aptera or Telo. Or Rivian R3.
