Like maybe America has more than 1 shot left? Or maybe we are hopeless and have no shots left.

Really ridiculous messaging in that ad from my view.
I agree with you, except I feel 90% of the people who watch it will not put that much thought into it.

There are all kinds of ads out there considered effective that cynically play on our emotions, patriotism, etc., etc.....

It does lag behind many others in EV adoption and renewable energy. But, you are right, the messaging is very confused. Are they trying to appeal to Americans who are insecure about their nation's standing? coming from a German company who sold to America "clean diesel" and was caught by American college students in that lie? Very odd.

Yeah, it's ridiculous actually. Kind of like the GM EV Super Bowl ad with Dr. Evil. Does no one see the irony there?
