The irony if it be these to clean up the mess:

If Chrysler was allowed to have a couple crossovers in the same showroom as Jeep they would survive just fine. Not everyone wants the Jeep look. A three row that is legit competition to say the Traverse / Enclave would sell well enough. And a two row to compete with the Edge and such. And you still have the minivan which if they keep on the leading edge of that market would be enough for Chrysler. A 300 replacement wouldn't sell a ton but to be honest there is still possibly a market for that. probably Ram

How some EV fans talk about maintenance on IC vehicles :

Sure, if not written down already. But the bulk of the value has to be the property & buildings over any equity left in tooling (a lot of which is probably not applicable to Workhorse's needs). Lordstown is 6.2 million square feet on 905 acres. For some comparison, Baltimore Assembly was 182 acres with 3.1 million SF when it sold for $27M in 2005. Plant half the age, twice the SF, 4 times the property, 15 years later? I’m going to guess the price was $125M.

Cheaper than a home is a good start.....

BULLS**T. Half of those brands will be gone in a few years.....heck, FCA could barely run itself.....AND add a bunch or odd brands? Ummm...no.

Looks are subjective. But because Tesla sells the amount they sell, their styling DOES resonate with the people. And THAT would be WORLDWIDE... As we know, for the most part, ugly cars do not sell. Tesla cars sell well. WORLDWIDE over Tesla cars are the most sold EVs. Ugly or not, THAT by definition makes Tesla style have Tesla mojo. In other words, Tesla has its own style and people gravitate towards it. And Tesla having its own style doing things its own way having its own mojo is a very good thing when it comes to BRANDING... Kleenex, Vaseline, Coke, Scotch Tape, Fridgidaire, Crock-Pot, Jet-Ski, Bubble Wrap, Google, Xerox, Amazon... The Tesla brand is fast becoming that kind of brand...if it aint already there... And the Model 3's minimalist approach to its interior (and that is how the Tesla Model S' interior will be too on its next refresh that will be soon enough) is well received by many that buy the Tesla 3. In fact, its a selling point. And a very successful selling point at that. You and I dont like it. But these EV peeps seem to adore it. Plus, you cant argue, Tesla has a very very good product to sale you. It aint all marketing bullshyte and fad of the day internet sensation... The EV technology that Tesla sells you is quite possibly the best there is out there... Plus its charging network that helps with the branding... I know you were NOT the one chastising me for dissing Ferrari VS Ford movie by saying that I dont want to see bullshyte American flag waving nonsense in the movie... but Ill tell you one thing, and others that hate on Tesla... AND ILL DO THE AMERICAN FLAG WAVING HERE. WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY DESERVED IN THIS CASE!!! TESLA IS AMERICAN!!! AN AMERICAN CAR COMPANY THAT IS COVETED ALL AROUND THE WORLD. BE PHOQUING PROUD!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER YOU FOLK???!!! THESE ARE THE TIMES WHEN YOU SAY: AMERICA! PHOQUE YEAH!!!

Decisions made by Kill Anus as Diamler CEO have no bearing on my global world. When I hear that half the EVs in the US are registered in California, it does not surprise me one little bit. 1.9% of the market is nothing.

I don't think they need to be THAT cheap, but certainly they have to come in starting in the high 20s. This $45-90K shit ain't workin.

Its not a good engine. It pollutes. Sure. Its reliable. It pollutes. Electric motors. Run longer than that...
