So what economic sense does it make to go into mass production of a vehicle that needs government subsidies World wide to make sale-able? Not just to kick start the idea, forever subsidies just to peddle them. There was a book published a long time ago, "Why Smart People do D-mb Things". I'm suggesting this book to the book club in the executive suite. Maybe Lansing could use a few copies too.

Yep, zero demand indeed...

  • GM is extending layoffs for about 280 employees at Factory Zero, its Detroit EV plant, keeping them idled through December instead of returning Oct 6. One of two daily shifts building the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Escalade IQ was cut in early September, and about 120 workers have been on layoff since April. The changes do not affect Chevrolet Silverado EV or GMC Sierra EV production. GM cites slower EV demand after a 7,500 federal tax credit expired Sept 30 and says it will keep adjusting operations to market conditions.

Thank you to the blue haired, obese she-hes who identify themselves.
If you have the mask and the septum ring, you win the liberal special Olympics.
