You won't survive because you made your vehicles too big and expensive for the average consumer. I welcome China's BVD's as an option for the lower middle-class, the class which North American manufacturers have forgotten.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Maybe pull yourselves up by your bootstraps. You know, the whole "meritocracy" thing.
Of course I'm not invested in individual transportation companies. Even less with the ones refusing to set on EVs.
Simple affordable vehicles if they want to keep the factories busy and and sell a lot of vehicles. Greatly reduce the massive trucks and SUVs. I don't know how many people need to tell them that before they finally listen.
Bullshit. They will survive. Albeit under some “rearranging” down at corporate. Brand loyalty does have a crossover effect despite all indications of an entirely different product. Seriously. People will purchase just because of name brand loyalty alone. Maybe all these auto producers will be absorbed into a global manufacturing mega company that will spit out absolutely crap products until it is distilled down to what the people truly demand. (Lol) And what the global futures have in mind for all of us.
No, no. Build big beautiful F150, Tundras and other mastodonts running on dinosaur fuel. Fail to adapt, fail to exist.
GOOD.
Well than they need to make better, more competitive products, lol. More competitors might be bad for the billionaires, but it will be great for consumers. As a Canadian, I'm tired of the price fixing monopolies we have here. Open up the market for the consumers, and we will decide! Fuck the rich!!
Not my portfolio!

They will be fine, the USA will just bail them out again and again
The USA has not been a leader in production of goods for a very long time, since the 70s for some industries. They have survived by having massive amounts of buying power.
The us is now running out of that power since about 2015. They will soon not have the option of bailing out companies.
