Will UAW Strike?

I read beginning Jan 2024 everyone gets a $7500 tax credit for buying an electric car.

The $7500 comes right off the price at the dealer. Buyer doesn’t even have to have any taxable income.

I see that as just another way to pee away your tax money. The gummit is always coming up with creative ways to spend what they don't have.

7500 bucks is chump change considering what a new EV costs today.

As the strike drags on, I don't foresee the UAW coming out ahead anyway.

Not following your logic here. How does an auto strike by the Detroit 3 make EVs the only alternative? Anyone wishing to buy a new vehicle could (1) wait out the strike, (2) buy a vehicle that's already been built or (3) buy a vehicle made by a manufacturer not on strike.

Tesla lowered their prices because sales were soft, and 'most anyone willing to pay a premium for an EV already had done so.

You seem to be unaware that 2 new giga factories have come online so they're able to meet their demand better and the lower prices has been planned all along by Elon Musk. He clearly stated this year and next he's willing to sell at cost as long as he can get both of the new factories running full tilt. His stated goal is to be selling 20 million Tesla's a year by the end of 2030 and beyond. When you buy your new Tesla that will be 1/2,000,000 of the effort.

I am very pleased with past price cuts and future price cuts because that is the man's plan.

I read somewhere that Harley Davidson actually sold 10 of them.

There are state rebates on electric motorcycles between $500-$1500. Illinois will give you $1500.

What the heck is a giga factory? ... and I still will NEVER buy a toaster car anyway. I might consider a plug in hybrid but that is it.

Again, chump change on a 25K plus toaster bike.

Kinda sounds to me like the American based automakers are selling their domestic EV's at a loss or so they say. Read that they are taking a 45 grand hit on every one made. I'll have to take a drive up to Rouge assembly and see if the wad up there in the holding lots have dropped at all.... Maybe they are just waiting for them to self combust...lol
