You're forgetting about HEV and PHEV that were/are in development in the interim.
So yes, U.S. automakers did have electric propulsion and battery engineers for some time.
Again, the U.S. automakers were negligent in planning for the future and are now laughably behind.

- rUsHeYaFuBu 2y agoYou disagreed on the history of events by saying automakers globally started at the same point with regarding EVs and that's why in part China is so far ahead. I corrected you, that's it's worse than that because the U.S. automakers weren't even starting at 0 in comparison (which you doubled-down on that they were for whatever reason). They had the advantage to be ahead.
- datavirtue 2y agoTesla has done nothing but EVs and is laughably behind BYD. In fact, every US automotive manufacturer went to China and pretended that they wouldn't be able to catch up to them (racist) while teaching them how to build automobiles. Now everyone (especially Tesla) is crying foul and trying to invoke protectionism.
