There are EV manufacturers who never made an ICE, like Rivian and Lucid.
Those cars are FAR too expensive for most people to afford. Tesla is the only new car company even trying at making affordable cars.

And Lemmy wouldn’t exist without Reddit. But I don’t like what Reddit has become, and I am not obligated to continue using Reddit when Lemmy exists.
