I’ve learned never to bet against Elon Musk, but it seems reasonable to ask if he can forever sell problem-plagued vehicles typical of GM and Ford without serious brand and financial consequences.
Regardless, it’s a sad commentary on America’s stature in the world when Europeans regard China as the gold standard in electric vehicle manufacturing.
Despite being headquartered in the Detroit area, GM and Ford have become unabashedly unpatriotic with regards to the manufacturing of their vehicles. And Trump MAGA supporters tooling around in GM and Ford pickup trucks, particularly the Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra 1550, are either blissfully ignorant or shameless hypocrites.
Pickup owners who love and want to support the most “Made in America” truck proudly drive a Honda Ridgeline.
How could thieves make off with 13 muscle F-150 Raptor trucks valued at $1 million and six $80,000 high performance Mustangs from the factory lots where they were stored?
Ford CEO Jim Farley no doubt was recently asking the same question.
The media is out to take down Elon Musk, and last week they demonstrated how low they’re willing to go. Here’s why Americans must draw a line in the sand and show zero tolerance for the media’s dishonest and puerile agenda.
I was encouraged learning in recent days that people way better credentialed than me aren’t punch drunk drinking the Biden Administration’s and media’s Kool-Aid triumphing America’s accelerated conversion to electric vehicles. Unfortunately, those who question the narrative are quickly dismissed as “right wing” Republican “climate change deniers.”
There’s an urgent need for a self-help group modeled after Alcoholics Anonymous for people with the sobriety to appreciate America’s EV conversion is poorly planned and executed by frighteningly ignorant political leaders with no clue as to the dangers of their policies.
Allow me to explain why the conversion should already be sounding alarm bells.
Until this past weekend, I was appalled by Elon Musk’s public disparagement of President Biden. But after Biden’s belittlement of the entrepreneur’s space exploration efforts and the president’s false representations of Ford Motor Co., I’ve come to appreciate Musk’s willingness to publicly articulate what most Americans are thinking.
Given the ethical state of the legacy media these days, it comes as no surprise that Ford’s $19.2 million multistate settlement for deceptive advertising was mostly ignored. Here’s why the settlement was a very big deal.
I’m possibly the only person who dares to publicly challenge the recent diatribe by Detroit Free Press restaurant columnist Lyndsay Green about too many whites frequenting a handful of swanky restaurants in downtown Detroit.
A primer on why Americans must drive defective cars and pay the highest healthcare costs in the western world so the rich can get richer.
Michigan is in the midst of a major leadership crisis. The state can’t attract major investments — Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana have all feasted on Michigan’s manufacturing lunch. Much of the blame rests with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer but Rep. Rashida Tlaib is also part of the problem.
