    My father worked building Pontiac's for 44 years. He bleed GM blue. He is not alive now and will not witness their demise. That would have bothered him greatly. In 2 days I am picking up my new Model Y. Given the fact he was a true car guy I know he would be impressed by my new Tesla. Miss you Dad.

    I’m from Glasgow, Scotland, where I’m guessing Sandy’s ancestors came from. When I was a young man (so not that long ago) we used to have one of the busiest rivers in the world for shipbuilding. The whole river looked like one giant yard. Today we have almost nothing, haven’t had for decades. The river is almost dead, with only one small, struggling commercial shipbuilder left. What went wrong? Well, many factors, but essentially it suffered from the same issues GM seems to be. Lack of foresight and clever management able to see the wood for the trees. I don’t know whether it’s fear, atrophy or just plain stupidity challenging the legacy automakers, but Sandy’s right - any kid in school will know better than they do where the global transport industry is heading.

Look at how many Chinese billionaires there are - the CCP is allowing the private sector plenty of scope without allowing it to dictate the markets - as the west does. Meaning they can combine the benefits of longer term state direction and planning with the dynamism of short term capitalism. Their challenge will be to keep that together.

      Will mean a similar amount of total automotive based jobs when the dust completely settles by around 2030.
      The service&parts industry will definitely suffer though.
      Especially suppliers of things like air filters, spark plugs, oil pumps,fuel pumps, oil filters, belts, hoses, timing chains,fuel injectors, catalytic converters, transmissions&filters etc. They will simply cease to exist, Bosch is a prime example of a former titan headed for the grave yard.
      As none of those parts are needed for evs and no replacement parts either.

There are however other feasible scenarios which could offer more competition for Tesla that are not considered. Car makers like GM , VW, Daimler, Japanese and Chinese car makers are not sleeping. They all remember the "annihilation of the big 3" as you stated it. Consequently, most of them are already begining to jump on the EV bandwagon. In addition, we have the challenge of producing enough electricity to charge all these cars. We are indeed in for an interesting time.

      Munro has torn down and examined ALL of the other companies products. NONE of them are in the ballpark. The only ones who are catching up is BYD. And they have to get over the hump as a Chinese manufacturer to win approval. None of the other manufacturers are making money off of their EV's and will not be for quiet some time, due to a lack of volume. And secondly? 99% of all the businesses in history have failed to survive technology disruptions. Its never the incumbents that win.

One thing to consider with american manufacturers are also "victims" of having to live almost exclusively with americans. While much of the world welcomes this change, we resist it, we even penalize those who try and move fast. Our attitude will last until the minute it doesn't, and at that point manufacturers will be stuck with products that nobody wants while people blame them for not providing the products they have said they wanted all along. Tesla wins at the moment because they really don't care what americans want, they have a vision for what they need to build. Other manufacturers may have a vision, but not the wherewithal to go into "the valley" in a strong enough position to deliver out the other side....

      The US used to be the great innovator up till the 1970s, then it went downhill. Japan and Europe took over. Only innovative industry in the US left, was the weapons industry. Why? TAXES! Income taxes % got lower and the rich more and more sidestepped taxes. Some paying $0. No money, no innovation. Ask Sandy. The weapons industry were the only ones being funded enough to keep the momentum going. Pure capitalism was the way to go for the last century or so, but the power of the US is in competition and cooperation and 1: you forgot the cooperative part. And 2: when you were on top, you sat on your innovative butts. If you stop pedaling, you'll get overtaken. Add protectionism (Trump) and you will fall into the abyss. And it's even worse, cause with innovation come robots and AI's. With those comes job-loss. Robots will get better to the point human workforce is obsolete. This will (and has already) hit production jobs, administrative jobs, management and even designer jobs. There will be no work for at least a major part of the population. With today's US works ethics of 'working for your money' and social security (good as none), combined with their aversion against everything that even reeks of sharing wealth, half the country will starve. How's that for a revolutionary army? Maybe Elon Musk can be begged to deport them to Mars by that time? As the English did with the first Americans-to-be? And then after a few decades Mars will declare independency? History repeats itself?
      A big part of the US population has grown afraid of the future, instead of embracing it. Hiding in their communities, armed to the teeth, crying over times long gone, not understanding that they need to recreate such times of plenty by rushing ahead and not by trying to keep things as they were. Cause, they were! Past tense, never coming back.

      @@TraditionalAnglican Solyndra was a single investment that didn’t work out in a portfolio that posted an overall gain and a strong one too, although I don’t remember the exact number. Plenty of people thought Tesla would turn out to be a bad investment too. Right-wing media conveniently never mentions the portfolio’s overall gain, they manipulate their audience by cherry picking the bad investments instead. How convenient. I wish the Dems were better at marketing their successes.

    This was some real talk here. The analogies and metaphors were spot on. I've been yelling this all over youtube on the pages of the various content providers I follow. While Tesla is an unmovable force at the moment it isn't stopping Chinese companies from expanding intocad many markets that will have them.
    I'm not singing doom and gloom. It just is what it is. Companies like Ford and GM seem to live in a bubble when they talk about being the biggest EV maker in the world bit they have no clue.
    They need tocget on a plane and go to China. Go to various countries in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and they will see that they have very little to no influence in these countries.
    Showing up to the LA Auro Show with no EVs after while the president is blowing smoke up your bum about how you're the leader is some serious cognitive dissonance and it's no wonder why these big boys are in so much debt. Their hubris with be their demise if they don't pivot.

    I spent some time working with VW in Wolfsburg. Having only worked in small companies, seeing the way they squander money sickened me. With rising costs, businesses simply cant continue to operate the way they did in the 80s and expect to be profitable. So yes, i agree with your assessment. These OEMs will have to adapt FAST or die, and I dont think they will be able to.

    Sandy, I would go one step further than the chess/checkers comparison. The Chinese are playing the ancient game of Go (Weiqi, Weichi) and it is played there from childhood and is like nothing we play in the West. Deep Mind's AlphaGo finally beat the game of Go Grand Master as the ultimate test of Artificial Intelligence after first beating the world's best chess champion. Tesla is the only company that can understand what they are up against and compete. VW is just waking up while all the other OEM's are sleep walking.
