If you ask me, it's the natural "immune system" taking it's course to a drastic change to it's host body (society). There is a lot of momentum, jobs, money, insurance, loans, real-estate, etc all tied up in all-things mechanical and car that along with the ICE engine. Yes, EV cars have some of it too, but no where near the same levels. Not to mention that the top or favorite or most-well-known or most controversial EV company happens to bypass dealerships entirely, thereby threatening their entire existence. I'd go further and take a guess that this same EV company is anti-union, threatening them too on some level. Haven't confirmed this, but it fits the pattern so I'd bet it's playing a part too.
