Tesla is investing in brick-and-mortar locations to expand its service presence in the US. GM has thousands of dealer locations that already place 90% of the US population within 10 miles of a service center.

GM didn't disclose the nature of the service, but said they are ‘aok’ with the extra business.

Ford is building its first new plants in 53 years.

True. BlueOval City is the cornerstone of the company's plan to produce 2M EVs annually by 2027. The new plant will be in Stanton, TN, with a population under 500.

The $50B plan also includes two new battery plants in Kentucky, a research center in Atlanta, and an automation overhaul in 3 locations through a partnership with Rockwell Automation

Ford says its EV strategy requires room to grow, which led them to expand outside Michigan. Some worry about a lack of a United Auto Workers union guarantee, suggesting a plan to de-unionize the workforce.
