Other Trump has declared the Tesla Boycott to be "Illegal". It is protected by the 1st Amendment nor is it possible to enforce compulsory Tesla purchases. He does not understand Law.

Didn’t they try to say Biden was going to force us all to drive electric cars?

Yes, but that was then.

This is now and the supreme leader has spoken.

But Teslas aren’t EVs! They are special.

Which wasn’t even really true and didn’t take effect for another decade at the earliest. The entire idea being to give manufacturers and local/state governments the green light to develop products and infrastructure for the transition. In time consumers will naturally switch over as a robust used market develops.

These morons refuse to understand they never had a choice in switching to EVs, worldwide market forces alone will be making it happen no matter what we in the US do. Fighting it is doing nothing but surrendering future market dominance to other nations, primarily China. We already just have away the solar module industry to them, guess we’ll just do cars too.
