  If they want their new EVs to be eligible federal tax credit, the cars need to undergo final assembly in the US. Not to mention we just went through a pandemic that showed us the weaknesses of shipping all our manufacturing to third world countries.

  That makes sense for a techbro or a financebro, but turning the blue collar labour force into a horde of minimum wage slaves serving coffee and delivering UPS packages isn’t exactly the future that those people want.

    I doubt their wants will have a say in this matter.

  Yeah, we shouldn’t make anything expensive in the US. We should make them abroad and then the unemployed hordes will buy those goods!

  Your statement is too stupid to be anything but a troll.

  You’d have a point, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re targeting the wrong issues.

      You mean you can’t just pick up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of heavy machinery and move it to another factory down the road overnight?

        Idiots clearly have never even be to SE Michigan, let alone Detroit, and have no clue how automotive supply chains work. Just about every factory and industrial site from Flint to Toledo is producing parts that either get put into Big 3 cars directly or are used to make equipment that are then used. They have had 30 years of NAFTA to figure out how to move that complicated supply chain to Mexico with success, but are still reliant on American industrial might.
