When photons hit photovoltaic cells they eject electrons, that go through some wires and some electronics and then move the charge around the cathode and anode of the battery in your BES or EV.

More like you can generate your own electricity at home and not rely on others for transportation.
You have a nuclear reactor at home?
Come on now, you know he's got sun and a roof full of solar panels to charge his EV at night when he gets home from work.
I'm just wondering who these people are with a gasoline refinery in their back yard, I guess everyone here lives in Port Arthur.
At the rate of $66 per hour, I'd support a pay cut, not a raise.

When will they realize they can design and sell the unassembled new cars as modular kits? The customer can assemble the vehicles and skip the union labor cost. I'm positive there would be a market if the kit is half the cost of fully assembled.
Or they can have a for hire home assembly team that does it for you after the kit is delivered, non-unionized independent contractors of course.

You're staph there, too!?

It works until it doesn't. See the move of many of manufacturers to non-union states
Yes, but the NLRB has now changed the way unions can be formed, almost guaranteeing that the plants in those states will be unionized.
The manufacturers will have to offshore, which means loss of jobs.
Go tour the Toyota plant in San Antonio (Oh wait , they quit allowing tours during COVID and have yet to resume). Jobs that decades ago were done by 6 guys are now done by two guys and a machine because it goes faster and the QC is better.

Just recently bought a new car for $45K. I'm glad I did now since I think that will seem like a steal very soon.
I heard one theory about this being part of the reason behind the increasing stock (and stubbornly high prices) on dealer lots in recent months - auto makers running at higher rates of production to build up inventory that will carry them past a protracted strike.Charpie said:

Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”

The UAW is determined to test the colloquialism FAFO. We'll see what happens.

How exactly are you generating your own energy at home?
1) let them strike
2) when they strike, hire temporary replacements...paying them the current rate/benefits or less.
3) let them get the plant going and when there's little to no difference in production volume or quality, announce they're permanent replacements. While laughing at the union.
4) unions have outlived their usefulness and need.

Worked so well for the teamsters and yellow trucking…

Yes, but the federal government isn't going to let any of these companies go under. Too big to fail in their eyes.

He's got a peloton he rides really fast. Duh.
I would move it to Mexico. Those people are pricing themselves out of a job.
I assume the GM commercials playing during NFL games depicting their happy workers are related to the impending strike
Labor unions are short sighted. The dumbasses always choose short-term greed over long term viability. Get a pay increase today, then lose your job to automation or plant relocation tomorrow. Idiots ran off almost all of the good paying skilled blue collar jobs in the town where I was born. Not much to do there now but make a long commute into St. Louis or cook meth.

And a 20k minimum repair bill for the batteries.
Well, I'm at least happy that i don't own an EV.
More production moving to Mexico in 3, 2, 1...

This is like my neighbors voting for everything under the sun in Austin that costs money and then lamenting on neighborhood message boards about high taxes.
I demand to get paid $200k a year to sit my ass at home eating Cheetos (crunchy or gtfo) watching tv!

The King Ranch F-150's are now over $110K. If the UAW demands are met, no one will be able to afford even the cheapest of vehicles.zoneag said:
So we'll see $150k F150 King Ranch Editions soon? Available financing for 240 months

Yeah that entry level car will be $600/MN. Good luck on that.
