I think the biggest problem is there was no value in getting the Nissan vs. Ford/Chev/Ram/Toyota. The Titan was the same price as the others but with fairly middling specs. If they had offered a competitive truck for a bit less money they could have built a following. They just would have had to deal with lower…

So they followed the Nissan playbook? Release a popular and well reviewed vehicle, and then ride that platform into the ground for 10-15 years while everyone else has had 2 or more generations in that time and far surpassed Nissan? Seems like the only other major company that follows this is Dodge, and only on cars.

I support unions. I support their existence. I support their right to collectively bargain.

It’s if tens of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

I take a pretty dim view of politicians in general, so you’re definitely not hurting my feelings with a comment like that. 1. You’re right, it’s about the next election, 2. Few have any ground-level experience in the areas they are proposing to legislate, and 3. Most seem to lack even a basic understanding of cause…

There’s another point. This crap won’t happen for a couple years regardless because of court challenges. Yeah, that’s a great way to get things done quickly.

Yeah, and piss them off because they think Biden is in the UAW’s pocket.

100% and if it was literally any other company, I’m sure they’d have been at the table. Buuuuuut... Elon Musk.

and challenged the assumption that only nerds like electric cars.

Would work great with the GOP rednecks and morons who think a living wage is communism.

though he is very Boomer in embracing Detroit and not, very conspicuously, Tesla.

They check...general road worthyness (ie no rust in the wheel arches etc).

I bet the statistics for that is pretty low. While its easy to imagine a myriad of catastrophic problems how often does it actually occur. Do we need a national standard that will likely take years and millions of tax dollars to setup and billions to enforce for something like this?

Neutral: I’m so tired of the bloggers here that constantly bemoan the folks who successfully make a nice life and living for themselves. It most always comes from Shilling and Orlove. I’m sorry that the majority of us who come here, hoping to READ ABOUT CARS, are mostly successful folk who don’t live in either NYC or…

3rd Gear: I am so, so very tired of stories where established union officials have betrayed their membership by graft or collusion with management. How does anyone expect the average working stiff to get a fair shake, when the very people they have elevated to represent them behave this way? I guess this is where we…

You aren’t “defending” billionaires. This was just classic Shilling, shilling nonsense. It’s ok for you to think rationally without apologizing.

Imagine the press that they’d get if the company car burned down the CEO’s house.

Ill be amazed if North America and Europe are ready by 2030.

Rivian is making their chargers exclusive too? Yuck. I’d have a C8 all decked out in the most obnoxious way possible, which is a credit to GM making something that interests me for once, but I’d probably hold out and see if they make an electric one.

Company that has not sold any(? not sure) cars is worth more than companies that have been building and selling cars for 100+ years, and we wonder why people do not trust the money class.
