#1 ....most of the job cuts are expected to occur among the company’s 31,000-strong U.S. workforce.

Then when the EV nocturnal emission flounders, as it eventually will, the business decision to cut US jobs is still a win.

QUICK QUESTION:
Where is all this extra required Electricity Coming from?

Maybe the shutdown Fossil Fuel (COAL) powered Power plants? Because Nukes take years just to get Earth Hugger approval, then 7 to 10 years to build. Solar Power Panels? Also think amount the rare earth materials needed and the massive amount of needed to extract, produce and install. All Energy not available.

#5 What if a MAGA candidate made eliminating the EV subsidy a plank in their campaign platform in Michigan? I think the result would be chaos in a good way.
