No one seemed to care about that in the 80's, 90's or 2000's when Ford / GM sent all the Mexico and Canada, and went to lowest bidder on everything with NAACL and Ford-to-Furnish, not to mention all the machine tool going to Germany and other Euro countries.
Many people did care...but no one was listening to them. The hollowing out of the American manufacturing sector is arguably the greatest economic failing of the country in the past 40 years. A.I. is about to surpass it.
Would rather see work within USMCA over China.
Not to the CEOs and Managers with great fat salaries and their giant retirement packages who are never affected by those decisions.
Agree there has to be sufficient demand to attain profitability. Tesla started with expensive cars to learn EVs and cars in general.
Capitalism. Progress. Does it matter to me if my job goes accross the country, across an ocean or to a computer? It's still gone.
I agree that if your job goes it does not matter where it goes, however I wouldn't call a system that encourages CEO's to send production to a communist country, that uses in some cases slave labor and requires you to turn over your IP, and that doesn't have to pay social security or medicare or follow any environmental rules, capitalism. Its called mercantilism.
Business is brutal. Rules? The only rule is money.
I live in that world too. I have automated likely thousands of people out of factory jobs.
It's not about you and me; rather it is about business and economics.
Jim Farley has always stuck me as a phony. Probably still getting paid by Toyota
Yeah, many don’t know H2 is used by commercial operations. Not necessarily cars.
Interesting, but since it's an EV and things like CAFE standards aren't an issued (presumably) why does it have the extended cab? I would think a normal 2 seater would be their first choice.
