Yeah, more along the lines of consequences I guess. Electric car influence has caused Continental to close down a HPFP production line also. You have to wonder what Hyundai and Kia genuinely think of their BEV success too.......it’s a double edged sword. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Maybe if there was new EV supply to cope with the demand there would, one day, be some second hand sales listed.
Tesla aside there has been effectively zero supply and dealers like it that way too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
