The US would be the only country to suffer in this scenario. The rest of the world would be just fine with using cheaper memory while we shoot ourselves in the foot to spite them.

My obsession isn't with range, it's with charge time. Yes I'm a bit irrational wanting a fully charged car every morning but that may not happen with a lower battery efficiency using a level 1 charger. I'm sure you'd appreciate better range efficiency like any gas car user would want better MPG.

The range is now 205 miles, from a 63-kWh battery.

That's... Not that great. For comparison, the 2022 Chevy Bolt has a similar sized battery (65kWh) but about 260 miles of range. The weight's a little less than the slate at 3,600 lbs though it still wouldn't be enough to gap the difference in performance. There's either some heavy drag introduced by the truck or some drive system inefficiencies.

That won't be the only thing going out the window when/if a crash happens.

What's the point of even having the 4th Amendment when corporations can completely sidestep it and tell the government exactly what you're doing all the time? Corporations and the government are essentially the same entity with this massive loophole.
