It's a miracle! I thought that plant was so old, it was incapable of producing anything but the small sized Cruz? Now it can be used for building trucks? Amazing. I guess just not GM trucks or Blazers, but somehow the plant is workable for someone else. Maybe they never read GMs supposed rationale for closing the plant originally. Oh well.

If Workhorse wants to spend the money to gut the entire plant and reconfigure it for their needs, that's on them.
Clearly GM didn't find it economical to do so. There's also debate as to whether or not Workhorse will ever actually produce anything there.

Lucid, SF Motors, Faraday Future, what do they all have in common? I would not be surprised if Lordstown Motors joins this illustrious(?) club.

Don't forget Tesla. By any rational accounting measure, they're a failure & they've been the most successful of any of them.

What would you say if I told you HUMMER was coming back?
What if I told you it would be all electric vehicles?

It makes sense really. No one wants their size and capability with their fuel consumption - not even when fuel was relatively cheap. Make it electric to solve that is a no brainer.

I read an article not long ago which basically said that if the Hummer H2 and H3 came out today, they'd likely be more popular than they were at the time considering today's Truck and SUV boom. I have to say that I kind of agree with that. I'm saying with ICE engines and all. But I have also heard GM could be considering Hummer for an all electric future. Hrrrmmm….we'll see! Side note: What do you guys think about that Mustang Mach-E all electric SUV that is coming? Pictures and information leaked today. I have to say...I like it overall in the "GT" trim below. I'm not sure about the colored grille. Shaved door handles are nice. It also bugs me that they are calling it a "Mustang" and it even has the Mustang emblem on it (It's not a damn Mustang). The other thing that dings me is that they are using a huge Tesla style screen in the middle of the interior dash. Ugh...I can't stand the Tesla 3 interior.
