    I recently bought an EV and I quickly learned why people like them so much. I don’t want another gas car. I guess the big three just want to fail. (or get bailed out)

    Teslas are American EVs. The best selling EVs in the country. The big 3 are giving the future to Elon Fucking Musk. Canada and Mexico will likely be driving BYDs. What blew me away was learning that Honda was giving up. Didn’t they build a robot as an engineering exercise just because? They aren’t trying to stay competitive in the automobile industry in the future, but they built a fucking robot. Not impressive for a revered engineering company. RIP.

          UAW definitely had a hand in it. For the first time they didn’t endorse the democratic nominee. Don’t let them off the hook so easily.

            shrug kamala and biden were uniquely bad candidates, you know… supporting and enabling a genocide and all that. Never mind all the anti-labor nonsense that kamala demonstrated during her campaign.

            they didnt deserve any endorsements for that alone.

                But, lesser evil and all that.

                talk about beating a dead horse… and how did that actually in practice work out? kamala and biden never should have run.

    This seems like such a doomer article. I don’t follow the auto industry super close but, I am a big Cadillac fan. Cadillac, last I checked, is still in the procces of going full electric which started in 2022 with the LYRIQ which was a huge success. In 2025 Cadillac had a 12 year sales high with almost half of those being EV and it shows, I see them all over the place.

    Maybe they know something we don’t? AI data centers making electricity scarce/more expensive?
