[QUOTE="VRYALT3R3D, post: 16641837, member: 131770"] That is not a significant factor.. The OEs have to build vehicles on global platforms that meet regional market's requirements. They also plan vehicles years in advance. Well yeah, those companies didn't have a competitive advantage so of course they would want to keep the status quo or have relaxed standards. GM and Ford are actually quite competitive now because they have made significant upgrades in technological processes and R&D. This provides them with a significant advantage as it leads to a widening technology gap that makes it difficult for their competitors to compete in the short and medium term. Look how late some major OEs are to the EV game. The reasons why these companies are late are due to two factors: the cost of switching and the lack of knowledge. They are screwed. FCA would have been screwed royally without the merger. [/QUOTE]
