It’s amazing when you look at those auto factories in Detroit back in the 1920s and 1930s, they were like cities in themselves.

My godmother worked in a Chicago area that employed 50,000 people at one time. We don’t even make anything anymore that could employ 50,000 people at a facility.
Funny you should mention Detroit in a topic about EV's.
Detroit Electric was one of the last early EV manufacturers, lasting into the 1930's with the last one shipping in 1939.
Using the EV cheerleader's 'logic', this shouldn't have happened as it's less money to manufacture EV's and they require less maintenance. EV's should have killed the IC market back then if they were so great.
Guess it didn't quite work out that way.
And he likes to claim it's the automotive industry leading the way. Does the numbnuts have any data on how many EV's would have sold without government incentives for the purchasers and to the manufacturers? No, he doesn't. This shite it primarily driven by the a-holes in Washington, DC.
And last, he likes to go and on about fewer people to make them and repair them while ignoring the millions of people in the current car market. It's not just line workers putting them together, there's an entire industry of performance upgrades to IC automobiles that will be put out of work. I can hardly wait to see them standing at intersections with signs that read "Will plug in your EV for food."
Or maybe they can all learn to code.
