Why go to an EV maker when they are all slowing from lack of sales. Tesla has a HUGE Lead, as do the Chinese, BYD brand

And I'm not so sure about Tesla having a lead. At least not in being a functioning profitable company.

it's a young market that will grow much faster as Honda etc. get in on it. Hybrids and electrics make up half the cars on our street now. I expect that's why. Rivian is fighting some very bad reviews though.

Well, I guess my immutable law of government still applies:

I hope one day that the IRS sees fit to take action against a proven tax cheat, the don of a multigenerational organized crime family. One who has claimed to have earned billions, but paid no federal taxes in 10 out of 15 years starting in 1995. And only $750 in 2016 and 2017.

There's a more reasonable assumption - that they didn't pay their taxes. I've been through this before and the soliton will be far less than what's proposed. But they likely have classification issues with write downs and property. 

I don't see any wide consumer appeal at this time. Unless Apple really has something surprising. It may also be more age dependent. I'm old (how did that happen!?) and it seems very uninteresting to me. But perhaps a younger demo. is more excited about wearing them. I don't know. But it'll be fun to see what exactly they are trying to do with it.

I don't think the UK can kill this deal. It's just an opinion (I mean one countries opinion). Since so many other territories have already said it's OK. Not sure what happens next but the EU has not weighed in yet and in the U.S. it's not clear it will be pushed against.
