All of our Great Leaders will be driven around in Teslas.

Other Great Americans, those who can afford cars, will be driving smokey oil burning antiques held together with Bondo and bailing wire, or brand new "traditionally styled" SUV death traps made out of cardboard and plastic.

In other words, the U.S.A. auto industry will become a joke.
