At present - West Coast beginning counting - it's looking like Trump will win US election

That will throw cat amongst pigeons of EV policy in the states.

Wildcard is Elon getting close to Donny, Tesla will probably get special treatment.

its a damn mighty HOOT !
What a friggin win - Elon made the call long call ago backing the horse he knew would agree making a special under the table agreement no doubt about it.
Never know what it is but you can bet his brand will have Import protection of some kind and other EV competitors not.

Yep it might be tied to 'so long as you build it in America'.

They're going to drill on day 1.

Also, this win is bigger than the 1980 Reagan win apparently - look what happened to all the late 1970s green tech developed under Carter, and what happened with oil, when that occurred.

In the end Farley's still an Idiot!
Still talking crap about how good EV sales are while repurposing a plant in Canada from building EV's to F350's & shutting down another shift for EV's in Michigan
Never seen a CEO with less vision

So does the average onlyfans 'model' on the Gold Coast, quest is probably going to still be in his job in 12 months where as Jim Farley will be ousted and onto his next company to ruin because Ford CEO's never seem to go the distance before being replaced

if we determine whose an idiot by income then that puts this entire forum somewhere below that Mensa candidate Kanye West and all our politicians in Canberra.
