1. GM is not the sharpest saw in the shed
2. Lordstown seemed suspect from the beginning
But, I think Toyota knows what they are doing and they are committing to Battery EV. Either 2022 or 2023 will be the turning point.

There was a 1985 comedy called Lost in America about a man who decides he is tired of the rat race and suddenly quits his job. Some of these 25% may have a similar experience.

It all starts and ends with elections. The audit train has begun rolling and is already revealing the tricks the left has used to steal elections for decades.
This is a center right nation. The left has used election cheats to shift it to the left by 2%-3% each election. That was just enough to keep them in power. In 2020, they needed to shift it by 5% or more to keep power. That was too blatant. It exposed all their tricks.
So, the path back is clear. Voter ID. Clean up voter rolls. No ballot harvesting. Paper ballots. Hand verification of vote tallies. Transparency of the count. Ban outside funding and staffing of election officials.
Do that, and we’ll have politicians who reflect the center right nature of the electorate.

General Motors announced this week that they are going to be boosting global spending on EVs to $35 billion through 2025, a 30% rise from its most recent forecast, according to Reuters. GM's announcement comes less than a month after Ford announced that it was going to boost its EV spending by more than 33% to over $30 billion by 2030.

From Thegatewaypundit
Evidence unearthed in a court case in Georgia today shows that failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams oversaw the staffing for the 2020 Election in Georgia.
CD Media reported on a court case this morning that unearthed who was really running the 2020 election in Fulton County Georgia:
Evidence presented at this morning’s public meeting of the Fulton County Commission shows former Democrat gubernatorial candidate and State Rep Stacey Abrams controlled and financed the main contractor used in Fulton County elections during the Nov 3rd poll and the Jan 5th U.S. Senate runoff.
Evidence showed direct financial underwriting of the staffing service Happy Faces Personnel Group, by groups controlled by Abrams. In other words, a highly partisan Democrat political operative controlled the elections in Fulton County, which also involved a Nigerian national.
Fulton County residents testified Stacey Abrams owns 16% of ‘Now Account’, and that Now Account financed and recruited employees for Happy Faces…

There are other aspects of the audit where we haven’t been given a timeline.
They hired a firm to count the down ballot votes using the digital images. No word on how that’s going.
They also plan on canvassing voters to see if the ballots were actually cast by them ( e.g. where there are dozens of voters using the same address ). The DOJ called that voter suppression and the AZ Senate decided to put canvassing on hold, for now.

Umm, they’ve already been working on it for many days. About 1,000,000 remaining.

The hand counting of ballots was completed on Monday. The review of ballot paper authenticity is covering 100,000 ballots per day and will be done in 10 days. We’re getting close to completion.

The only hope in the next 18 months is that Senate control changes hands when either an old Democrat Senator dies or a Senator from Arizona or Georgia is removed as a result of an audit.
Barring that, the next opportunity to bring some sanity is the 2022 congressional election.

In January 2007, at age 55, she received a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in educational leadership from the University of Delaware under the direction of professor Barbara Curry. Her dissertation, Student Retention at the Community College: Meeting Students' Needs, was published under the name Jill Jacobs-Biden.
This is the same university that has a building named after husband. I’ve read descriptions of her dissertation that were less than complimentary.

Latest update. Not an official determination but it is a named source involved in the audit.
ARIZONA – Several hundred thousand votes that were counted in Maricopa County, Arizona are associated with missing ballots, according to an audit organizer who is speaking regularly with people on the audit floor.
“We found a ballot shortage, anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of the votes,” Josh Barnett, an audit organizer who led the affidavit drive to make the audit happen, tells NATIONAL FILE. “It looks like a couple hundred thousand ballots are unaccounted for. The ballots are missing.”
“I also know that there were boxes filled with blank ballots in those pallets. There were blanks in there,” Barnett said, citing a person who is frequently at the audit site as part of the audit process. “They (election officials) were doing it for appearance, to try to hide the fact that ballots are missing by saying, ‘It’s okay, they’re all right here.’ But the ballots are blank.”

Intel is putting $20 Billion into expanding its chip operation in Phoenix. That should reduce some of the reliance on Taiwan but it’s going to take 2 years to build.
Most of the chips used in cars are not cutting edge tech. The car companies can find these chips in the marketplace but the lead time on orders is several months. I expect car prices to be back to normal by year’s end. Maybe a little later to refill inventory.

“Most automakers have an 8 to 10-year or 100,000 miles warranty period on their batteries. This is because federal regulation in the U.S. mandates that electric car batteries be covered for a minimum of eight years.
However, the terms of the warranty can vary. Some automakers only cover an EV’s battery pack against a complete failure, while automakers like Tesla, Nissan and Volkswagen will honor the warranty if the capacity percentage drops below a specified threshold, typically 60-70%, during the warranty period.”

I think the short answer on batteries is nobody really knows. They just haven’t been around long enough to have a track record. And, the technology keeps changing so some batteries are very new.
I worry, for example, about what Arizona summers might do to batteries over a 4 or 5 year period.
All you can really do is rely on the warranty to have a baseline.
