All the General Motors, Ford and Stellantis facilities in the US are UAW represented

There my friends is a leader. He'd look good in the White House as the President......food for thought.

other Americans in the process.

I'm still glad he's on our side, but he's too conservative for me as president. We're going to need someone willing to make some changes to the constitution....or get the country on that path to right some wrongs that the republicans have helped us discover through their insidiousness....and I am not confident he's either bold enough nor charismatic enough to lead that charge.

Congress proposes the changes and states vote on them. Getting 2/3 consensus on any constitutional changes, in this political landscape, is highly unlikely.

Or ignore it entirely.

He wasn't stupid enough to vote for the draconian repug Cr to "keep the trains running on time" like 10 of his colleagues were. He's excellent on women's rights workers rights, rights for the rest of the dem base, gun control the environment etc. I know that he has the best interests of the people of my state as well as the American people as a whole at heart. No oneshould doubt that.

He was one of the first Dems to step up to the fight. Which isn't surprising, given his history.

There are plenty of good EVs made by union labor in the US.

Ripped out. Maybe an EV isn’t a good idea rn

There's almost 200,000 public chargers in the US that are not being ripped out.

Plus, charging at home is a thing. I'm sure Sen Kelly already has a charger for that Tesla he can use.

So I don’t have to click on a damn twitlink!

Two actually maybe, one in DC and one in Tucson, made in Texas by union workers.. Those trucks are very expensive.

Gave it to my SIL at 298,000 miles. He wrecked it on a racing track. I cried.

The key: regular oil an lube, especially rear end. Brakes, tires and alignments were the only problems until 140,000 miles. Then timing chain and belts. Otherwise, NP Loved the roominess, turning ratio, and comfort. I had a ton of offers to buy but would never sell. Best kept secret was that she sat on a Caddy chassis.

He was not impressed and referred to it in his column as the Roadmonster. Odd thing was, it was his last column for that particular newspaper chain. (I dunno, maybe someone in high echelons complained). IIRC his name was Ted Laturnous or some such.

A typical political photo shoot.

…. “I didn’t know Elon was crazy when I bought this”. I know several like that.

Thanks for your input — but Kelly is one of the good guys.

(love him) and many Tesla owners are environmentalists or just flat out progressives who bought their cars before the current madness. I bear them no ill will. But for those of us paying attention here in Silicon Valley for the past ten years or longer, the signs of Musk's true leanings have been apparent. He was union buster who broke the union at the factory that produced Teslaa in Fremont, CA many years ago. That was even before trump's first term I think.

American made EV. US unionized auto makers were not making full EVs. And Elon wasn't f'ing with our government.

because the rest of the Big 3 automakers have been dragging their feet on electric vehicles.

He would be an excellent minority leader.

the other foreign cars made in the USA.

A year later sold it for $25 so I could move up to a $50 1956 Ford. Never paid more than $2400 for a vehicle until 1983. It helped back then that most of us could fix em.

But I do not understand why you EVER bought a Tesla in the first place. GM Cars are all that I drive, and my track record with them is amazing. I've never understood the complaints that I've heard about them. Most complaints that *I* have come across have been from people who didn't do simple maintenance, etc. and then got mad when something happened.

Glad to see you supporting Chevy!

But for their ICE vehicles, I've had many GM's and liked them too.

I'd love to have GM come up with a more affordable option.

Starting price of $34,995, and has a range of up to 319 miles. Not bad at all.

Had 30,000 miles on it, and I paid under $16,000. Original warranty is still in effect for almost two years. Mine rolled off the assembly line in October of 2023, so it was probably in the last batch that was built.

Hertz just released a lot more Bolts for sale, and it looks like they saved the best for last. Mileage in the 15,000 range.

Forgot to add that it is such a fun car to drive. Hoping this will be the last car I own. I think it will end up being my favorite of all the cars I've owned over the years.

It would have been nice if he stuck to electric.

But I won't join.

e.g. it will convert to 2WD when conditions warrant.

He could also easily buy a carbon offset pass that would cover the emissions for as little as $600 a year.

The Tahoe with the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine gets 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. That's pretty good, but diesel is even worse for the environment than gasoline.

There are future plans for one, however. Likely for 2028.

A Chevy Silverado EV might have been a good choice for him. Or a Rivian.

GM may produce one in the near future, but all of the Big 3 are slowing their EV roll outs now.

They manufacture their cars in AZ and the head is a Tesla turncoat

Not opening xitter links.

I would have bought something else, but I imagine his practical needs and mine are light years apart, and I only know mine.

as well. Thank you, Sen. Kelly remembering your home state.

I'm surprised Elon's algorithm hasn't zapped it yet.

No more supporting Elmo in any of his businesses.

This made me smile
