"American consumers will want to see roughly 5 years of reliable quality"
You say that as if it's gospel, but it sounds like "boomer thinking" to me. The demand for electric cars over the next ten years will mostly come form people who have different ways of making purchasing decisions than in decades past. And they've never heard of a Yugo.
I don’t think researching a $40k purchase and valuing reliability is “boomer thinking”. It’s a side effect of people getting married, buying homes, and starting families.
Yeah, lol. It's called adult thinking. And it happens once you actually become one. One that is responsible for others, not just yourself and your whims. "Adulting" for an hour a week to pay your bills doesn't count.
