That is kind of the funny thing about autos. Like most manufacturers are terrible in many ways. Environment, political, the way they treat people or how shitty their quality control is. Planned obsolescence. There is still a fake "supply demand" issue that they have literally concocted to jack prices through the roof. Literally price gouging asking 15k over MRSP because they pretend they have a supply issue lol.
All the US majors are in on this scam and it's sad we don't have a government worth a fuck to fight it..
Elon is just mouthy about it lol. I couldn't even tell you who the CEO of GMC is. They are awful as well tho.
The problem unique to car companies is that the Repubs are beholden to the car companies and the only unions big enough and worth a shit in the US is the UAW, and Democrats are beholden to anything they need.
So you literally can't do anything to regulate the industry without pissing off one or the other. The car companies will use any legislation raised against them to lay off union jobs.

Is the UAW still a powerful union? Hasn’t it been mostly dismantled and destroyed by union busting and automation?
Sure. Also Right-to-work legislation. Red States race to the bottom with worker protections.
Still the most powerful, tho.
