The absolutely wild spectacle of a sitting president using his office to film a car commercial aside, Trump is trying to sell EVs to people who he has already convinced to hate EVs. The people who buy Trump stuff think EVs are a liberal plot to turn everyone into gay communists.
Not related to the specific post but is it me or does american media treat literally everything as “Breaking News”
Like nothing about this is urgent you can wait until the evening news to talk about it. You’ll even have more information by then!
breaking doesn’t mean it can’t wait, it just means happening now
The biggest problem is that CNN and FoxNews are 24/7 “news” channels. So 99%+ of their air time is filler.
In this case, I didn’t really fault CNN though. This is the first time in history the White House has been sold as a car dealership, so I understand their use of the tag.
Jfc I didn’t realize how expensive those things are
It’s why Tesla makes a lot of money despite not actually having significant sales volume.
Electric cars are far, far simpler to manufacture the ice vehicles, but by positioning them as luxury vehicles he can try to sell a cheaper car made to the lowest spec at luxury prices, and because there wasn’t much comparison people haven’t known that the margin was just enormous.
