I have a reservation on a Tesla Model 3, and I was happy to be supporting a visionary all EV maker who is not just making EV's as a greenwashing loss leader.
However, by many reports, it is not going well. There has been a big crunch to ramp up production speed and lower production cost.
All this and a non-unionized workforce.
I'm thinking that quality of life for the workers is as important to me as buying an EV. I don't want to be buying into future tyranny for workers.
If I buy a Chevy Bolt, I believe it is assembled by UAW workers in Michigan. The drivetrain comes from LG in South Korea which if not unionized (I don't know) is at least not a high stakes sweatshop.
Here's a somewhat dated article on what appeared to be GM's limited plans for the Bolt.
