Make a decent car, anyone, please. I will buy it.

If you aren’t opposed to US companies, look into Rivian. Aptera is also supposed to start shipping vehicles soon and is a very unique take on transportation that focuses on extreme efficiency.

I'm not generally opposed, but smaller american car manufacturers don't tend to reach us here. Some guy just recently brought two Rivians to the country and it got into national news. So I'm guessing those two are the only ones here.
