Donald Trump Faces His First Big Policy
Test Over EVs

Original Article

With the election in the rearview mirror, things are rightfully shifting from ensuring victory to focusing on delivering results. When the alternative was Kamala Harris, accepting disagreement was not only understandable but paramount. Now that Donald Trump has come out victorious, outcomes matter, and he's about to face his first big test. The big three American automakers and the UAW union are preparing to pressure the incoming president to keep Joe Biden's disastrous EV mandates in place: [Tweet] Three of the nation’s largest automakers, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, are strategizing with other car manufacturers on how to make a delicate request of President-elect Donald J. Trump:

Comments:

End the EV mandate, President Trump!! The automakers should have read the room before spending so much money on a product very few people want to buy. Never forget "Promises made, promises kept!!"

No. And no tax subsidy. EVs are a feel-good mirage, not grounded in reality. If people want them, let the market decide. Modern cars are already hopelessly complex, due solely to EPA mandates. Reliability and affordability have suffered tremendously.

So let me get this right. The Big 3 automakers are lobbying to keep on making cars no one wants to buy? How big are these subsidies? Get rid of them and let the market decide what vehicles to manufacture.

He should say..."You are CAR companies, build and sell cars...not chase Govt carveouts and handouts." It's not as if the endeavor cannot be profitable, Tesla started from scratch, was frozen out of most Govt programs, isn't even allowed dealerships in most states(48 states have Independent dealer laws, no "Factory/Dealerships" allowed), not even a "Gallery" where people can come and look at a Tesla, let alone test drive or buy one, people have to buy them online from out of state.. THEY sold 5 million cars, and don't LOSE $60k/$90k every vehicle made.

Given that the manufacturers, Ford in particular, have taken a financial drubbing over EVs, not sure why they would be so stupid as to remain beholden to such burdensome mandates. Shareholders should be in revolt over such stupidity.

The automakers were forced to sink billions into facilities and processes in order to comply with the current mandates. So much so, that they now need the new administration to stay the course and continue to force consumers to buy their new product lines. This is yet another leftover mess for Trump to have to deal with. And I've always been a bit concerned about the tight relationship with Musk. Is the President getting himself into a position where he won't declare that EV's are a BS idea and there will be no more federal assistance in the form of rebates or other incentives?

The general idea behind capitalism is you make a product or provide a service that people want, and you prosper. The involvement of our socialist government has caused this problem with EVs and manufacturers.

Re #8. Since these companies have spent billions on setting up EV production, and made huge numbers that they can't sell, they see their best way out is the government FORCING people to buy their unwanted products. Otherwise, they'd be eating the costs associated with their stupid, stupid choice to go whole hog on useless EVs.

If the mandate remains, eventually the US will resemble Havana, with old clunkers being kept on the road by any means necessary, since most people won’t be able to afford to replace them with one of the few (and therefore very high priced) gas cars. Of course these old cars will be less safe with worn out parts and safety features that no longer work, so more people will die. The misallocation of resources will decrease productivity and result in lowering our standard of living, and the auto industry will still end up failing, but they will scream for bailouts because they were just doing what the government told them to do.

I don't want an EV and will not buy one. Apparently, I am in with the great majority. They are not practical for most people like waiting for a charge when they can fill their tank of gasoline in ten minutes. I have to be honest though...I have an EV. It's called a golf cart and I use it to ride around to fish in my little lake community. It's perfect for that but I would be courting death to try to use it on a highway.

#26 rightfully points out a significant concern. I think the federal EV mandate comes from EPA regulations, not Congress. Did Congress really delegate that much authority to the EPA and is it even constitutional? In the 2022 West Virginia v EPA case SCOTUS held that regulatory agencies can’t decide major economic issues without specific Congressional authorization. Elon and Vivek are running with this in DOGE. They might toss the mandate and it will be off to court again. Of course Elon has a vested interest in EVs, so there is that too. It would be great to get another case that reinforces the WV one during the next four years. But for all I know CJ Roberts may decide it’s a form of taxation and therefore constitutional.

Now that former congressman Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is no longer a threat to Democrats, they are on to the next one in President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet. On Sunday, Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) warned viewers on CNN that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is “compromised” and is like a “Russian asset.” Host Dana Bash asked Duckworth, who served with Gabbard in the House, what she thought of the former Democrat, accusing her of promoting Russian propaganda. “Well, I think she’s compromised,” Duckworth began. “I think by going to Syria and basically um, backing you know, a brutal dictator there.

Trump wasn't the only one to dodge a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. The uniparty tried to end democracy and came pretty close. As a comedian, I know how to "read the room" as the saying goes, and I am reading nothing less than nationwide calm with a dash of, "What else do the commies have up their sleeves," trepidity. I suspect the globalists, military-industrial complex, or Jill Biden - whoever is actually running things - aren't going to turn over the keys to the White House without at least one last attempted kick to the goolies of freedom.

A recent Echelon Insights poll shows that voters not only view Republicans more favorably than Democrats but also largely support Donald Trump’s transition. Despite efforts by Democrats and the media to generate controversy, Trump is enjoying significant goodwill, with 53% of registered voters approving of his transition and 40% disapproving. Interestingly, while Trump remains personally unpopular, voters appear to want him to succeed. The poll wasn't a fluke. "Most Americans approve of President-elect Donald Trump’s handling of his administration’s transition back into the White House — and are bullish about the next four years, a new poll shows," reports The New York Post.

The outlet also reports that Mojtaba Khamenei may assume the office of supreme leader before his father dies. It's no secret that the 85-year-old Ali Khamenei is in poor health. But the meeting of the Assembly of Experts was called suddenly and with no warning by Khamenei. The 60-member body was instructed to decide on the succession immediately under strict confidentiality.

Trump’s electoral victory has advanced the demise of MSNBC and CNN for good reason. The fall of NBC, ABC, and CBS should follow. Each of these so-called news outlets has betrayed their viewers for as long as they have been on the air. They consistently misled their viewers day after day to the point that Trump’s victory was a major shock to their systems. Those blinkered viewers sadly believed what those networks told them -- that Trump could not possibly win, that Harris would win in a landslide. They misled their viewers so egregiously that those who only watched those outlets were understandably shocked by Trump’s win.

For a host of reasons, it became convenient for progressives to suggest that large numbers were fleeing Florida in search of a better life. When Florida governor Ron DeSantis was a GOP presidential frontrunner, liberal Democrats dug up every scrap of information suggesting he was an ineffective governor, noting that thousands were fleeing his state as a result of his supposedly poor governance. When Trump became the GOP nominee, the attack on Trump’s adopted home state continued. Hundreds if not thousands of articles were generated implying that Trump’s adopted home state was such a disaster that there was a mass exodus. The reality is just the opposite.
