    I have several friends and family members in the auto industry. Based on what they tell me, he’s mostly correct.

    The Ford Lightning is struggling, the Cadillac Lyriq sells in tiny numbers. The Mustang Mach E is selling OK, but hardly setting the world on fire. Hyundai and Kia are apparently sitting on large inventories of unsold Ioniq 5s and EV6s. Lucid is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on every Air sold. Rivian is struggling to move their cars.

    The Lightning isn’t a great vehicle, but most of the other ones I mentioned are good options. They’re just very expensive, the infrastructure stinks and their range still isn’t great.

      Hyundai ioniq is very hard to find here in Canada. The wait period is over six months. I jsut don’t get why Hyundai won’t move over some unsold stuff here. The uptake of EVs in BC is very high. Heck I’d get one if it were priced closer to the model Y.
