I saw 20 teslas waiting at a charging station in my town today…
Mfs in the comments really want auto workers to be making the $20 Tesla workers make. Once Tesla workers realize their value and the billions they bring to this country’s economy they will unionize and their pay will rise bc it has to. UAW wants fair wages for everyone what the CEOs want is to pay workers the least amount possible like they do in China or Mexico. Euro autoworkers make great wages and their companies are still competitive so idk where the bourgeois are getting that “uncompetitive” argument from. UAW workers are just asking for a livable wage. Ppl will side with the ceo and call union members greedy but CEOs made $20mil+ in the past year. In that same time frame the average autoworker has lost money due to inflation. If auto workers got similar year you year raises ceo got the auto workers would be making like $900 an hr. Auto workers are just asking for what was taken from them in previous contracts. all autoworkers want is a 46% raise in their current $17-$32/hr wages. Taking all those concessions into account, auto workers really aren’t getting a 46% pay raise they are barely cutting even to what they made back in like 2007. Corporate greed in insane, they have corporate bots running defense for the CEOs in the comments. Imagine being so brain washed by the millionaire CEOs that you side with the CEOs and call the HOURLY workers greedy instead. Smh
First they need to ask their companies to have a new mission to make a quality vehicle, younger generations can do self maintenance (brakes, flushes, oil changes, fuel filters, shocks, tire rotation, fuel pump, spark plug replacement) this will cause less customers in the shops helping relieve the mechanic shortage. Plus most older generations and disabled vehicle operators cannot do any maintenance on their vehicles. So they will have to use the mechanics that are available. Then people might actually WANT to buy your vehicles thus causing huge profits at the companies which makes more room for higher negotiations. The whole world revolves around transportation to and from work. Also I think there is room to make electric public transportation so mini, indestructible electric cars/pods that drive on their own but everyone sits in the back there are no drivers seats. Max pick up is 1 customer/family and they self clean, desensitize and drive to car charging port by itself as well as have on board cameras.
i hope the UAW strikes and cost them billions! the auto industry has taken livelihoods from the working class for too long. they’ve plunged an entire city into disrepair, Detroit, and somehow that is deemed normal… you’re shiny new tin can can wait…
We'll just buy other cars. Cheapest cars get my money.
Rich men north of Richmond singer shut down the republicons big time 💥👈
Remember the freeloaders. The Richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year.
So…? There are TOO MANY cars on the road anyway. Peace out.
They want 46% pay bump?! Seems a bit greedy.
😂😂i could care less. I refuse to buy a new vehicle. My 2001 Tundra is still running srong at 245k 😂😂😂😂
BUY A MAZDA! JAPAN 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
"The average annual return for the S&P 500 over the last 30 years is 9.909%, assuming dividends are reinvested. When adjusted for inflation, the average return is 7.223%."
Who's buying new cars during this high interest period
LOL WHO CARES??? I built my own vehicle 21 years ago. it's 91 years old now. F a new car full of sensors that stop your new ride in it's tracks. Better yet the STUPID HUMAN TRICK of driverless cars. LOL
Can't re-invent the wheel. My 32' Checy truck is the only ride I'll need for the rest of my life. Wouldn't trade it for a new tesla truck. You see how ugly that thing is compared to a 32' Chevy 4×4 with a 350 4B?
I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I need guidance on what investments to make.🚀🚀🚀.
so walk
The UAW strike will be the biggest commercial for Tesla. They will be the only ones producing cars and it won't cost them a cent to be the talk of the town.
Go ahead for the price of trucks today are ridiculous!!!
I'm all for Union because you get to take advantage of the Taft-Hartly act. This allows the workers retirement savings to be in the safest type of account in America. The stock market is to volatile for the workers of America. The wind blows and the market gets knocked back 5 to 10 years. Work isn't steady either so getting 30 years is almost unheard of. I hope the Union can make a deal and keep things in line with monetary policy. I'd like to buy a new car someday but I can't afford a junkie used one right now. Please keep things affordable for us poor people.
Who really cares except the auto workers? They're all going to be out of a job soon anyways. Not really "news" anymore anyways.
great, unions are going to bump up the price of already too expensive cars. We'll be buying China cars soon
I know where they can get the extra money. Drop the dealers. Keep the mechanics. Market adjustment car salesman are the real thieves here.
This is how suckers fall for propaganda, just tell them they won't be able to get their new car they wanted. Tell them it's going to be more expensive, but don't you dare mention the record profits and stock buybacks. Just get the watchers all mad so they blame the worker and unions.
STOP 🛑 Voting for Democrats. They will hire the Criminal Invader’s the Politicians and the Media like to call migrants and immigrants. The DOJ will Sue you if you don’t hire Asylum seeking Criminal Invaders. How Pathetic.
I only buy cars that were made in Japan.
I spent 60.000 dollars for 10.778 Ford shares at 5,77.
It is like 130% gain. So sad those people
Some of the highest paid workers in the country want 46% raise? Like cars arent expensive enough now?
WinWin for Tesla !
Everyone spend 100.000 dollars you can buy the whole company.but you don’t want to take risk. Shame all of you
Cars and trucks ate to expensive now.
What will all this do to the price of a car?
UAW: Autoworker get paid less than McDonald's workers and we gave up a ton to get the car manufacturers back on track in 2009. We'd like to go back to being well paid.

Do it and don’t let them trick you with all “fine print”
Do you remember Putin denying invading Ukraine? And then what happened? Putin's denial is almost admitted!
The addicts in the smoke shacks are loving this.
50% pay increase 🤣
From a Google search: Average Ford Motor Company Line Assembler yearly pay in the United States is approximately $60,000, which is 53% above the national average.
dividends stunted, stock suffers from ev investments being rushed, union strike….I guess you all know what’s best.
Communists 🤬
Bidenomics just keeps getting better and better 😂
Working America is broke, robots taking jobs, raising interest rates, sky high grocery items and the wealthy 1% have all the money. American politicians better wake up.
Stand strong shut them down
I'm not anti-union, but smart people are realists. In coming years, human workers in almost all jobs will be replaced by robots. This is already a big part of vehicle assembly, but it will soon be much bigger. In that light, workers should fear breaking the company, thus losing their jobs sooner. I'd ask for much less, do my job as long as I have it, and scrimp in anticipation of the lean years.
Hmmm, I've been reading how cars are not selling. Is this a way to move inventory?
and you wonder why they want to replace people with robots lol
