LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Lordstown Motors warned that it is in danger of failing as the electronics company Foxconn wavers on a $170 million investment in the commercial electric vehicle startup.

Oh well.

There were literally thousands of car companies in the beginning before eventually things shook out and it went down to about 5.

But EVs are our future. There is insatiable consumer demand!

“ one potential buyer that committed to a large number of preorders didn’t appear to have the resources to complete that transaction”

FJB, Post Office and DOD to the rescue!

How the hell does a company who’s most likely end game was failure from the start and hasn’t sold a single product even get an IPO on a major stock exchange in the first place?

I feel for Lordstown. GM pullout was long time coming but still another fly over town abused and abandoned

Yet one more example of the Youngstown area chasing a PIPE DREAM trying to reinvent themselves. Ever since steel mills closed in 1977 they have chased cars, blimps, mini-mills, etc. all with dismal results. Lots and Lots of wasted government grant money.

YES, they have voted DEMOCRAT for the last 50yrs that I have seen.

Unless I’m mistaken, that facility used to be a GM Assembly Division plant.

An EV pickup named ENDURANCE. How’s that for false branding?

Back in the late 50s, my father was a Foreman at the Norristown, OH GMAD. He was offered a new position as a Gen. Foreman at Lordstown or the newer GMAD in Framingham, MA. He chose Framingham because he wanted to be close to the sea.

I sometimes wonder where I'd be today had he chosen Lordstown.
