Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them

Every meal I've ever eaten has been primarily funded by the US auto industry and because of that I'll always be loyal to the brand that has supported me the most which is GM. With that, I love going to a GM plant and having the close spots for GM vehicles and the far away spots for all other makes. Makes me proud to drive GM. Especially in the winter. The majority of US auto plants are this way.

GM (or any other automaker that does this) isn't forcing their brand down your throat, they give you a choice: You can buy other brands, but if you do and you want to park on their property and work in their building, you're going to park way over there so the GM driving workers at the plant can park closer.

There are many reasons automakers like EV's with one of the biggest being the headcount/machines/tooling required to manufacture the drivetrain compared to an ICE vehicle. EV's are higher price for less manufacturing content.
