  • while not movie media, the same can be said with games. BG3 is blatently woke, hell the emperor blatently hits on the player regardless of gender and other elements. Elden Rings mythos is basically full of woke elements (Marika creating Radagon, who is basically herself, but in Male form to get into a romance with Renalla. just on this element alone, it is either considered trans (Marika having a clone who changed genders) or lesbian (if you choose to believe Marika is always female and trans not being a thing) as the relationship with renalla happened.)

    while there will be people who will complain about it, if the contents good, people will overlook it.

    one of the major reasons is that new cheap evs cant compete with used premium ones, hence the desire to develop a cheap EV, at least in the states, is economically prohibitive.

    basically because of how picky people are, especially with budget cars, the risk of devlopment on them are extremely high. Make the wrong cut and youre suddenly a bankrupt company






  • its a how many you can produce vs margins situation. not many companies want to take the risk on a high production low margin product, as failure would put you soo deep in the red that you wouldnt come out unless your first product knocks it out of the park.

    its why moat. conpanies are doing the top down approach (e.g Tesla, Rivian) where you cater first to the high margin vehicles and then make your way down. given the sales of cars like the chevy bolt and nissan leaf, people are picky about cars they buy, and the problem new car companies have is the one that vinfast has, which is “would an average consumer buy a new cheap car, or a used premium car” and its usually the latter.
