After taking a ride in a Tesla you will have a much better understanding of the EV debate. You will understand why Elon is the richest man in the world and can afford to buy Twitter!
He single handily changed the game!

First, not all auto manufacturers world wide have committed to EV's. Second, the ONLY reasons US manufactures switched was due to state and federal regulations to do so coupled with subsidies. And at a cost. Ford alone cut 3,000 + jobs. Lastly, Elon is not the richest (or was) man in the world from selling Teslas. It's because the US gave him Billions in funding from taxpayer dollars. We won't delve into the fact that he nearly ran twitter in the ground in the first month.

Again, I am not anti EV, but facts are facts. Sure Teslas might be fun to drive, great for a certain market and packed with a lot of technology. But they are not the climate and ecological silver bullet they were touted as and they aren't thriving from a free market.

I'm sure you meant to say "opinion" instead of "facts" Musk's fortune did not come exclusively from subsidies. What you've seen is Capitalism at it's finest.

Which major manufacturer? All the US builders have, VAG has, Nissan, Toyota, and Hyundai all have. Volvo is fully committed as are Merc and BMW. Even Ferarri and McLaren are on board.

So I'm very curious which ones are not.
