      This is the exact reason everyone across the globe exclusively use horses for transportation. Replacing them with these horseless carriages would destroy the shoeing business, where would we put all of the feed?.. What is Biden thinking?!

      Sales people do not have that long a perspective. The article does talk about 100-200% turnover every year, which is again horrible practices coming back to bite them, but the sales person is only interested in immediate commission and bonus

      I doubt this is a factor. As there will be plenty of people willing so sell vehicles if there is a proper market for it and compete with others regardless of downstream effects (make short-term gains and get out of the game, you have yours… that kind of thinking).

      If I would have to guess, price and supporting infra are the issue. Here in the EU these things sell like mad, even with the high price… but the development of a dense changing infra is going quickly.
