That’s part of the problem with having to employ the UAW. Can’t RIF them so easily, gotta pay, provide benefits and fund pension while many wait for product and factory transitions to EV. Definitely see taxpayer $’s needed to bailout 1 or both of the big 2 in Detroit in next decade. Ford and the UAW making EV batteries in Michigan will probably make those batteries some of the most expensive EV batteries in the world. Can’t lower EV costs like some competitors, when you have a workforce with unsustainable wages, benefits, underfunded underperforming pension funds.

Bolt assembled in USA with UAW labor, Equinox assembled in Mexico. That labor savings is a chunk of getting pricing so close. As battery tech and demand advances obviously price to produce will drop. But long run, a Union manufactured EV battery will cost more. We must include underfunded/underperforming pension costs that Taxpayers will ultimately be responsible for. Those costs are unknown that non-union 401k manufacturers don’t have to deal with.

GM is way behind their original schedule of their “EV onslaught”. Seems like they are copying everything about Tesla, including the no electric vehicle launched in the same timeframe that they are announced to launch. That’s actually starting to affect our next vehicle purchase planning. We’re s’posed to be in line for a Blazer EV. Timing is supposed to be second quarter 2023, with SS (our plan) available in third quarter. Thing is, since my wife’s Volt got totaled we third quarter is about the longest we can wait to get her into a replacement vehicle. But with GM’s track record of getting EVs to market on time, we’re looking at other options.

That’s good to see, it was one of the reasons I didn’t buy a 2500HD about 6 months ago.

Eh, I have a feeling we'll all be paying for this soon enough on new cars, under Onstar name or something else.
