Funny the reputation Mercedes has in the US. From my admittedly casual exposure, It seems quite different in Europe. I don't know that I'd say they're any less likely to develop a substantial hauler than the other two. Whether it and anything else that the other major automakers develop shows up in the US is, IMO, a bigger question mark. Much of their EV effort is focused on the EU and Asia these days. Those are the places that are REQUIRING EVs, and offering significant incentives for them. And that is where EVs are selling. Renault's second largest selling vehicle in January (before the epidemic hit) was an EV. Let's hope that I'm being too pessimistic about the US EV future.
