Default Detroit went all in on big, expensive EVs nobody wants…

As ⚡️ vehicles stack up it’ll be interesting to see what the Detroit boys and girls do, layoffs and temporary plant shutdowns. Toyoda has several hybrid offerings, looks like a game of catchup to me.

The automotive sector is always an interesting show to watch.

I just read GM is repurposing the self-driving ⚡Cruise as the Cruise Origin Roomba Street sweeper. Hitting the streets of Greek Town, a Deetroit 'burb, any day now.

I have a friend in Indiana who just bought a Cadillac Lyric for his wife. Haven't heard any feedback from him yet about how he likes it. He is a car guy. Owns a C5 vert and a 2003 Avalanche that's pushing over 600 hp through a swapped 6.0 with a Vortec. He's a fairly proficient tuner.

I have read that Lyrics are not selling very well.

at least get some of your story accurate...........................

Greektown is NOT a suburb, but a small area of downtown Detroit where they have some Greek restaurants, and a recently added, within the last 40 years, Casino, hotel, and crime hotspot.

Don't recall the timing of the casinos being built, as I am too poor and broke to foolishly throw my money away.

Don't know of anything selling well now, with jacked up car prices, interest rates, and Joe's "Build Back Better" inflation rates making everyone's dollars go a lot less distance these days.

The OEM's missed bigtime on the public acceptance of EV's, even with government mandates about MPG, and giving buyers some tax credits.

Hard to get them on the road when you may not be able to get where you want to go due to no charging stations or spending twice as much time at least getting there due to the timing it takes to recharge.

Driving back from the mother-in-law on Easter Sunday, it was quite noticeable how packed the dealers lots along the way were.

I asked my wife if she remembered people saying you would have to order a new truck from now on after covid, dealers wouldn't have loaded up lots again.

Looks like we are in for a rough weather night. Thunderstorms, severe thunderstorm warnings, hail, tornado watches and warnings. It started about 5:20. The tornado warning sirens went off 6 or 7 times from about 6:15 to 7:15.

RocketMan, don't you listen or at least read the news? Inflation is coming down and the economy is growing.

At least that is the BS that is being pushed.

When I bought our XT4 in February the dealer had at least 12 - 15 scattered around the buillding or inside. No one looking either. Take it for what it's worth. They did have two DCFCs installed in the parking lot though.
