The only company really slumping in EV sales is Tesla. It is single-handed dragging down national sales. 

Oh we're concerned about unsustainable incentives? I have some exciting news about your free parking and free roads then!

Remember that time on Jalopnik a few weeks ago when EV’s were doomed and auto makers were better off cancelling all of their EV programs?

I’m mostly pleased it’s not a MAGA sign at this point. 

Rendered up here:

Schumacher drove because Ferrari wouldn’t let anyone else drive the FXX. The Telegraph reported the next day that a Top Gear spokesman confirmed Schumacher had played the Stig, due to Ferrari only allowing Schumacher to drive the FXX

And the Stig is actually

1st: It’s not just an issue of stifling creativity. The Neutron Jack approach Range Rover used (Ford as well) leads to many good workers seeing the toxicity and leaving, and many of the rest focusing not on improving the company but making sure they look good, even purposefully stabbing coworkers in the back to do so.

the other changes are meant to boost employee productivity hours worked and collaboration reduce salaries and bonuses using arcane and subjective metrics

Exactly. I work for a paycheck on the bad days, and because I love what I do on the good days. I’m not going to be a cheerleader for the company because I’m FORCED to be.

First gear: This has nothing to do with “getting behind the push for EVs”. Everyone I knew when I was there was happy to work on any project. The EVs were the halo and people battled to work on them. That’s an excuse to just keep cutting. Whether it was Covid overstaffing, or a miscalculation on the cost of building

Tech companies have been trying to downsize since lockdowns ended. I don’t feel like looking for the article, by my hypothesis about tech company RTF mandates ended up being confirmed recently: CEOs did it to downsize without explicit layoffs. I firmly believe GM is doing the same thing now. Give weird requirements

Man, it really sucks when someone tells you what you can and can’t do with your body, like, taking away your choice to do something.

My assumption is Elon is facing significant legal issues and he's buttering up Trump to call off the dogs/pardon his ass. My other thought, though less likely, is Elon hopes Trump will have Uncle Sam buy fleets of made in the USA Teslas. 

The one thing that unites Liberals and Right Wingers, they both respond to anything Musk says with the same thing: Go fuck yourself, Lonnie.

Au Contraire! They love it when THE man in the Red Hat tells them what to think and do. 

“You know, Elon, remember, I love electric cars, I think your car is great, I love it, but it’s not for everybody,” Trump said last month at an event in Florida.

This incalculably hurt Tesla more than it accomplished anything else. They are truly rolling maga hats at this point.
