Absolutely mind-melting to hear reps from a company that salvaged the concept of GE's EV-1 and turned it into the wildly popular Prius turn around and bemoan battery powered cars.

What causes executives in the automotive industry to commit these acts of self-harm so consistently?

Are just a few examples of EV companies broke or going broke.

2 in 3 as of last quarter, and it's a number that continues to shrink year over year

And you're delusional if you think Tesla is "broke". They have a trillion dollar line of credit
