That's good news for consumers. For EV makers? A mixed bag.

Capitalism would actually be pretty cool if it wasn't predicated on the notion that the quicker consumers chuck shit into landfills to make room for more shit the better off we'll all be.

Person A turns in their leased car, leases another car. Person B buys that off-lease car. Manufacturers basically got two sales out of this already. Only way to get 3 sales is to throw that off-lease car in a dumpster
