We’ve already taken quite a few manufacturers off the list for this reason, including GM. Vote with dollars people. Take my data without permission, lose my business.

Voting with your vote works even better.

If we vote with our dollars then the government just bails them out when they inevitably go bankrupt, again.

  • My counterargument to this ideology is that US States are currently on a banning spree to prevent ranked-choice voting, which allows more candidates to participate in elections, but without anybody "wasting their vote on 3rd parties."

    First past the post voting, which is how US dual-party system prefers to elect, is a sham/joke/embarassment.

who is left on your list?

  • I am eyeing up Hyundai Ioniq 5/6. Any comments. Irony is keeping the dumb old Toyota is cheaper even with the crazy tax breaks in Australia! I could hand over $10k to carbon offset company instead and still be ahead with the ol banger. And have the convenience of what they call service stations :-)

    • Current Chevy Volt driver, have now written off GM from my list. Was considering an Ioniq 5 for my next car until I heard about the issues where a minor scrape on the bottom could require a $60K (Canadian dollars) battery replacement: https://youtu.be/EEXieo06ta8
