I don't think you can say "nobody." As a matter of fact, there WERE boycotts against Ford. I remember reading about some that were promoted by the magazine American Jew. How successful they were I don't know, but supposedly Will Rogers once said "[The Ford boycott] may not be a complete success yet, but it will be as soon as someone learns how to make a cheaper car." What's great is that, at least for the moment, Tesla isn't the only EV game around. You can have an EV without giving Musk your cash. That might not last, though. Musk seems to be trying to push the other automakers out of selling EVs in the US. With his buddy in the White House, he just might succeed. Wait, didn't Tesla offer to help other EV makers 10 years ago? Yeah, here it is. Musk in 2014: "Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal." Money changed his mind, I guess. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
