Americans have no clue but the Chinese already sell excellent EVs for the budget-conscious. You won't see them here because of the 100% tariff that has been in place.

Does Musk not want to compete? I had read somewhere that he seems to have lost interest in EVs and didn't see Tesla as a car company. Hard to figure.

I'm sure his focus is on SpaceX and especially now that there will be a very friendly, fellow billionaire as NASA administrator.
