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

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.

Yeah, but it’s owned by Bezos, so fuck no.
Replying to @ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works
It’s not.
Bezos is one of the many investors that provided funding for it at the start, but he has a minority stake in the company.
At one point he had one board representative, but now even that isn’t the case any more.

Close enough. Fuck Bezos and everything he touches.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but you’re left with a really short list.

Meh. I’ll keep my hybrid until the locals go belly up or get their shit together.
