		<description>You&#039;re right, that post is old and the landscape has changed a bit. Still,
the theme holds true: there should be more independent competition in the
auto space, especially for innovative companies and technology.

sent on the go, pardon my brevity.</description>

		<description>Of course you&#039;re welcome to disagree, but I find your argument is filled with holes.

NAFTA is not a State. It&#039;s a trade agreement between three nations. And yes, it could use some adjustments.

Tesla is, in fact, American. They are headquartered in Santa Monica, CA.

Imports don&#039;t get tax concessions by any means, in fact, the whole notion of Import Tariffs is the reason that most foreign automakers have set up factories here in the US. Toyota, for example, has a huge plant in Georgetown, KY.

Energy efficient vehicles &quot;in the pipeline&quot; is not a reason to save a huge, massive, slow, dumb, corporation. Those companies have been mismanaged for decades, and no amount of MPG can correct that. Plus, most consumers will opt for a better overall car, with better service plans, higher resale value, a smoother ride, and better reliability rather than 2 or 3 extra miles per gallon.

Quality of American cars have been falling steadily since 1980. That&#039;s not my opinion, that&#039;s the conclusion of Consumer Reports, Motor Trend, and basically everyone who has owned an American car. The leadership blames Unions — they say that in every car they need to cut $2000 in production costs to pay for the wages and contracts. To save that cash, they cut corners which result in lesser quality, thinner materials, more plastic, worser service plans, and most hastily assembled cars.</description>

		<description>I think you don&#039;t know what you are talking about.  The big Three are totally innovative wiht energy efficient vehicles in the pipeline.  States, include NAFTA bput the big three at a competitive disadvantage when the granted hundreds of millions in state tax concessions to imports.
Quality is on par, and the auto companies are moving in the right direction.  Smaller companies, like Tesla will never be able to produce what they promise.  Wake up and support the USA</description>
