I think you're confused. The future predictions that you all listed are right. No one promised them to you this year. The subsidies exist to support the market until the market can support itself. Taking on those kinds of costs is one one of the intrinsic functions (and reasons to exist) of a government.

There were certainly mistakes (e.g., not supervising VW properly when they went full DGAF on the electricify america rollout).

The parent is saying they still believe in the analysis that electric will work, they just spent their whole comment criticizing their EV experience.
