[@davidclemens1578]

I worked for a large window manufacturing company in the midwest. The executive department told department heads that they had to lay off a certain number of people by seniority. In the past it was always to lay off people by seniority throughout the whole plant and people would be farmed in to fill in those spots which was easier because people with the lower seniority didn't have the experience. But the way they did it was a huge disruption to the overall plant. It took 2 to 3 years of permanent overtime to build up enough experience to go back to regular production. The layoff what's up to 1800 employees many men who had years of experience and had to cash in any benefits and if they wanted to work their had to start over at minimum pay. Needless to say they could not find anyone that was willing to work there except immigrants from the cities Manny who did not understand our culture and our language. That was the result of Obama giving the company a certain amount of money for hiring immigrants. I was one of the many older employees that had to train them and found that many of them we're very good employees but a significant number of them didn't understand the concept of being to work on time and getting back to work after breaks. Another thing that I feel impacted the production was that many of them were Muslims and decided that they must take time to pray which would shut down the lines for a short period of time. Personally it didn't bother me but I did talk to one of them and asked him why he did not pray and he said he chose to do it after work. So it sounds to me like a personal decision which I feel many of them took advantage of the company. Although I did not let it bother me because I knew I would soon be retiring there were many many older employees who were both white and Hispanic that were not happy. This was a company that became disconnected from its employees. Excuse the spelling and punctuation. It is Google voice typing because I cannot type with my arthritis.

Upon removing the converter, I discovered that with a wood chisel I could reach in and shave off enough of the clogged converter to make it “like new” as far as air flow goes. The catalytic convertor was the honeycomb ceramic type. It took a while, but I got the majority of the front face of the converter cleaned off (about a half inch or so). It ran just fine after that, but it was still a gutless wonder with that air cooled boxer engine.

@@RogerM88 1. False assumption you don´t need to replace what´s not broken. You would need to replace broken cars either way. And this claim has nothing to do with the type of vehicle. 2. You can produce EV´s domestically (as Tesla already does) you got all resources in the US already. So this is also factually not correct. If you feel it´s correct either way you are welcome to show me where I am wrong.

[@RogerM88]

@@sierraecho884 completely false. Tesla doesn't build cars in house. They also rely on supply chains. Plenty of cars on the roads with more than two decades. Which isn't easily at reach of most BEVs due to battery degradation. Behind the rush push towards BEVs, it' the strategy to lower Oil imports. And synthetic fuels have plenty of other industry sectors to be used besides the Automotive.

[@sierraecho884]

@@RogerM88 I didn´t say Tesla build it that way I said you can build EV´s at home. Also everybody relies on supply chains because it makes sense that way, it´s cheaper. What do you mean it´s not at reach due to battery degradation ? Do you mean to say an EV´s battery doesn´t work after 10 years ? Synthetic fuels have zero use becasue they are at least double in price compared to oil hence it´s not used there isn´t even an infrastructure to produce any at scale whatsoever. May I ask what you do ? Are you a technician or something ?

Since Ford, GM and Chrysler are trying to reduce production costs, they are looking for ways to make their cars more cheaply such as using cheaper quality parts and moving production to Mexico. Unfortunately, the American automakers have high costs with the United Auto Workers, so they cut costs in production

Five years from now, people will talk about Tesla just like they talk about Nash, Packard, and Tucker. Tesla vehicles are useless in colder climates. When it is -40f, and there is a heavy snowstorm, do you really want to bet your life on being able to drive 100 miles? No thanks.

With Mexico I agree there is always room for improvement in quality. For instance, making cars rust resistant like Toyotas. Making important parts like in the EV example above more durable, perhaps billet or if necessary, titanium. Yes, even a few, key incremental changes like this can make a huge difference overall.

I worked for a company that laid off quite a few employees when new orders declined. Some of these workers had been with the company for more than 10 years. About 3 weeks after those layoffs, the company had a large influx of new orders and recalled all the employees who had been laid off. About half of those employees told management to take those jobs and shove them. A manager later admitted to me that they had made a huge mistake in laying off those employees. Loyalty is important in the workforce. Elon Musk demands total loyalty from his employees while offering none in return. I would never work for any company owned or run by Elon Musk.

Cut costs: Lay-off workers, move production for less expensive labor and by all means implement "VALUE ENGINEERING". You may ask, what is "Value Engineering"? A committee of likely inexperienced foreign engineers review an existing design that works and reduce the cost by a few more cents. However, they may unwittingly compromise the working design to the point that it may still function (hopefully through the warranty period) but may fail too soon. Happens all the time. Or, simply buy cheaper parts from China. Chinese specifications may be different and your quality may vary. Be careful.

Put in quarter tank of gas - no point in overdoing it. Drive to a remote oocation, stop, pour all the gasoline in the garage gas tank over your GM vehicle and pour a thin trail some 50 yards from the vehicle.. Crouch on the ground and using your cigarete lighter, light the trail of gas to the vehicle. Will be a VERY satisfying whoomph when the trail gets to the vehicle. Hitch a ride back to town knowing that you have done an immeasurable service to Mankind.
