You would think that a multi-billion-dollar program to deploy tens of thousands of safer, more efficient mail delivery trucks made in the United States would align with Donald Trump’s “America first” mantra. Not if electricity powers the trucks, apparently.
Trump’s disdain for electric vehicles is seemingly so all-consuming
A friend‘s company will get the contract instead? Of course the vehicles would have ICEs, making his oil company friends happy? The cruelty would just be a bonus
Something like that. But which friend? Which company?
Highest bribe.
Maybe Musk wants to make them instead?
Try to get him to settle for hybrid, install small ICE into vehicle, show functionality upon rollout, retune software later to not actually use ICE. Lol
