US immigration authorities said on Friday that they had detained 475 people, most of them South Korean nationals, when hundreds of federal agents raided Hyundai’s sprawling manufacturing site in Georgia, where the Korean automaker makes electric vehicles.

The Pew Research Center, citing preliminary Census Bureau data, said the US labour force lost more than 1.2 million immigrants from January through July.

      I still wouldn’t buy a tesla. Even if it were the last available vehicle to purchase in North America. I’d rather walk everywhere

        I’ve gotten along all my life without driving. There’s disadvantages, of course, but there are also advantages like not having to worry about finding a parking space

                  Well thank fuck, all Americans can move to Vancouver to stop relying on cars.

                  The point is that America is designed for car dependence, you cannot live in most of America without a car or taxis/Ubers. Pointing out that walkable areas exist in the world doesn’t help anybody living in a non walkable city, and moving is not the solution or an option for most people.
