I hope everyone who gets one sends a letter back telling the government to get on with taxing the damn billionaires.

Not with that attitude
The funny thing about that is Canada offered to buy the Ambassador Bridge in 2009, but the owner wanted almost double what the government offered. They only started talking about building the Gordie Howe after that.
US automakers designed EVs that are really just toys for the wealthy, not a family mover or grocery getter or daily commuter. It's not just the EVs: I'm in Canada and the market is different but not that different, and I don't know anyone who drives a US-brand vehicle smaller than an F150. I haven't set foot in a US dealership in maybe 30 years. US automakers are apparently baffled that they're not selling luxury second vehicles at a time when affordability has been on the decline for 40+ years.
Meanwhile, in markets with reasonably affordable, well-built, and compact EVs available, they're selling like crazy.
