If theres not some amount of investment US involvement in auto production is going to be limited to Tesla and pickup trucks.
Its interesting that other markets seem a lot more focused on economy and safety than the US is, at least for the moment.

Yes, and I read another article that this was a huge 3 row seating SUV. In that segment I could see those people not wanting BEV as much as hybrid for many users apprehensive about a first time BEV.
In response to video Camry hybrid and Tesla 3 if a person lives in an area with cheap gas a cents per mile of fuel cost vs electric can be competitive.
I first went with a hybrid for savings before a BEV. The NoiseVibrationHarshness, driving experience, interior quality are still items to consider in each brand. I like acceleration so I'll post a picture of 0-60times with the generation models of cars I bought. The Benz ICE wins hands down for driving if not considering acceleration and regen braking or hard cornering. The hybrid is great to get double the city mpg than the ICE but you still have the maintenance of the engine and brakes.
My particular model BEV lacks a premium feel but is far best for performance driving, even without acceleration boost it drives like an SS.

I'll throw this here. The headline is somewhat misleading. 77% battery after 430,000 miles driven with no failures of battery or motor under hard service isn't
NO degradation but
acceptable degradation. Would be better wording
.
But then again the whole world doesn't want BEVs
