A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

They are moving the investment to hybrids because there will be new ev truck competition next year from Tesla and Chevrolet. Lightning sales are up as are ev truck sales overall. There is likely a cap on how many people an ev truck makes sense for until ev infrastructure is further rolled out, but the investment is being moved to hybrids, not diesel or gas, so the market are not total reactionaries. Eventually, hybrids will be the minority product as they carry a costly redundancy that will be unnecessary for most people.
