Dude, there is just no way on earth that automakers are making razor thin margins on $80,000 F250 extended cab super duty pavement princesses that are basically just minivans in a trenchcoat.

You can buy a Nissan Leaf starting at $28k. It’s made in US, Japan, and Mexico.

Past tense. They are ending the production line this year. They just didn't have the margin.

Greely's EX 30 was going to sell for mid 30k. We can absolutely compete, we just would rather not.
