American cars are so bad. We did ~3000k of driving last year in the US and noticed that most of the cars on the road were new. Didn't take long to realise why - between terrible driving standards causing them to crash regularly, terrible build quality causing the interior to fall apart, and needing to drive EVERYWHERE so you flog the thing out in about 12 months vehicles are practically disposable.
There were late model cars still rocking the flashing brake light as an indicator wtf lol

I actually push my family members to buy Apple products because then I dont have to provide tech support but tbh if their usage is just tapping on like 3 different icons, there's really no difference between the two from a UI point of view. And a mid-range Android phone that allows you to tape those 3 icons is probably 1/5th the cost of an iPhone.

No wonder they don't sell it anywhere else - wouldn't meet local safety requirements.
I liked a recent BYD Shark teardown video by some American mob... Their biggest complaint was that it was "overbuilt" lol
Fire up them tariffs lads, protectionism is the only thing ensuring sales.
