    Can’t think of a single US automaker I’d buy from and I doubt that would change within 10 years.

      Slate and Mutaniy Motors are the only ones to give me a lil hope.

      Otherwise it’s Edison Motors from Canada

      Everyone else is stuck in the past or China looking to revolutionize the market with checks notes slavery and public investment.

      There is one, Slate. They are offering a small electric truck that lets you fully customize it. There is also no tracking built in at all, which no other manufacturer can say right now.

      I rent a lot of vehicles for work when traveling, I can’t say I thought “I could see myself owning one of these” or even enjoyed driving Cadillacs, Jeeps, Chevy or Fords. The Jeeps were junk, the transmissions were way out of tune with the engine and the suspension felt like I was in a horse carriage. The Fords all had huge gas tanks, turned like boats, and the computer kept glitching. The Chevy had good performance but felt cheap. I couldn’t figure out why anyone would think a Cadillac was a luxury vehicle, It was like driving a Kia but everything was loose.
