And they still own 14 different brands, and try to convince themselves Jeep will save them. What a joke this company became before, during, and after their half baked EV plans, brought on by socialism and Biden.
Every American car company is done on the world market. The Chinese are going to make the electric cars of the future that the world uses.
Historians will have a field day with the mistakes made by Trump that doomed America.

More “muh socialism” without even understanding what the word means at all. Nothing Biden did was anything remotely close to socialism. Nobody will take you seriously when you use hyperbolic language like that.
Imagine just for a moment if this country had to rely on Wind and Solar Energy only during this unbelievable cold spell we are all experiencing.
Go green if you want, but don’t make it a mandate.
Now what happens to the new battery plants in Kokomo?
Stellantis has a 49% stake in the battery plant. I believe Panasonic owns the majority share. It’s still up and running… for now.
EV for everyone will never, can never happen. Not even close. The natural minerals needed for battery production don’t exist at that level. This democrat charade belongs to the libs 100% And here we were told they are the party of science. (Boys can have babies, Take the shot and wear a mask and covid ends, Global cooling to Global warming to Climate change. ETC)
How does it feel to have been so consistently wrong in every comment you’ve ever posted?
The whole issue was making ev’s affordable enough to make them everyone’s second car. But at 60-100k that wasn’t going to happen. Now the rest of the world will dominate this market.
Yep. Our auto industry is now destined to be about as relevant as UK automakers worldwide, and US automakers know it.
We will all be buying Chinese EV’s in 20 years and wondering why American companies can’t compete. It will be because of Trump’s second term.

The age of the American Automobile is over. China owns the global car market now.
