This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Can we import this into the US? ๐๐
Can't you just ask Trump to rename some diesel pickup to EV? Would be easier.
Trump branded ev... $100 says it would run on coal.
Bold of you to assume a Trump branded vehicle would run at all!
Or even be manufactured.
Only $10,000 to reserve one!
A raffle ticket to have the chance to see one? I'm sold!
Oh, not even that. For that, you get an email promising delivery within months and then nothing after that ever. :)
Doesn't Tesla already do this? Complete with Trump's endorsement, too.
woooow an endorsed limited edition designer emaiiiiiillllll
It would be a replica Stanley steamer, build in china
it would be this exact truck, rebranded and spray painted gold and sold for 5x the price.
An only be available in gold
I think chicken tax is for overseas only? So maybe?

I doubt it. Mexico doesn't adhere to NHTSA FMVSS standards, unlike Canada and the US. This is why Mexico has foreign brands like Renault, Peugeot, MG, etc that the rest of North America* doesn't get. Mexico also continued to sell the 1990 version of the Tsuru (Sentra/Sunny) in base, no airbags until 2017, which wouldn't have been legal in the US past 1998.
*excluding St Pierre and Miquelon
Can the US stop being absolute pieces of shit to the whole world?
Sorry, that would endanger patriotic US workers' job safety. So no reasonable EVs for you.
