Everyone visiting this site should feel welcome, regardless of their own personal views.
You made a specific insinuation about political corruption/conspiracy in support of the greater narrative from InCloud about how legacy automakers were doomed and will inevitably need to be bailed out when Tesla and the Chinese leave them hopelessly behind by the end of the decade. You were given an extensive rebuttal to your post just like InCloud was given and then 7 months later completely ignored all but a single sentence of it (and admitted to blowing it off completely as meaningless when pressed) and posted something unrelated like it was a smoking gun. Super PACs made donations in
election years so politicians in the party they donated to who traditionally aligned with them could get
elected? Stop the 🤬 presses. That's not anywhere approaching the quid pro quo nonsense you were implying; and it's particularly absurd for you to come back and double down on "expect unionised auto makers to receive bailouts when they inevitably won't make the EV transition this decade" and act like nothing has happened in the industry since you last graced us with your presence. Here's a fun fact you missed: I had already joked about how absurd the scenario you and InCloud were presenting was way back when Joey was also responding to it:
To be fair, the prediction that domestic automakers are going to inevitably fall so far behind Tesla and the Chinese automakers (that US politicians will also apparently turn a blind eye to their products being dumped on the US market) that the US is going to bail them out instead of a much easier solution of altering the regulations they supposedly have no chance of meeting is pretty amusing.
Legacy American automakers are
already not in any way going to be going to be taken to the cleaners by Chinese manufacturers by the end of the decade (not that they ever were). Elon Musk has spent the last 3 months doing completely contradictory things to try to pump and dump Tesla stock so he can try to get his 50 billion dollar payout and the industry changing Cybertruck has already turned into a punchline to mock people on Twitter over; so they probably don't have to worry an awful lot about Tesla completely conquering the US market either. The scenario that you're still trying to prop up from 7 months ago is
already not going to be a thing (even if the benefit of the doubt was going to be given to assume it ever was).
You're blindly trying to get the last word in on a topic... Oops... I mean, t
rying to acknowledge a response so as to not be rude, on a situation that already has substantially changed in the 7 months since you nonsensically talked about how the next 7 years of the entire US automative industry were going to play out.
So no, I
don't think people who aren't posting in discussions in good faith
do deserve to feel welcome to continue to post in them. If you feel that's an issue you are perfectly free to report me or Joey or anyone else for it, but I'll make a guess that R1600-ing yourself won't work out any better in the long run than it did for him. But enjoy your Cybertruck viewing. I still can't wait to see how
specifically perfect the panel gaps happen to be on the example you inevitably will post in this thread.
