Ok…$15/hr. But they buy their own healthcare. 

But you get your quota done by 2pm and get paid how much? 

Yeah those damn factory workers are just slave labor for the super smart pencil pushers. 🤦‍♂️😆

Not every American was forced to buy a tow motor, however I agree with ya (can't believe I said that) there are a lot of tow motors....didn't realize some are battery. Ours at our shop is not, runs on LPG ...

Ford has a long way to go to catch up to Rivian.  GM and Ram have a long way to go to catch up to Ford in the EV segment

For an alleged EV expert, you sure as fuck don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to EVs. One truck and they rule the roost? First to market is nice but it’s not everything. Rivian will be absorbed before long, no doubt.

Rivian will be valued as much if not more then GM on their IPO. Definetly more then stellantis or Ford.  Ford’s electric pickup is basically a reengineered Gas pickup so the product for surely won’t be as good as a purpose built EV pickup.  Which Ford will have after these new factories are built.  GM has a little something to expand on in the hummer but that is a few years out.  Rivian just has a lead that the others will need to catch up and re-engineering a gas to hold EV components is not catching up…

GM isn’t much of an ICE powered vehicle company anymore. They are actually expanding and diversifying out past automotive quite a bit. These moves have been in play for a much longer time than you may think. GM is worried very little about Rivian, I assure you.

Yep, every year there's more and more EV programs coming into development. And the Electric Hummer is a 2023 so not a few years out at all
