“There are a lot more people out here living in abject poverty than what people like to think or admit to. You voted for this—and now we’re paying the price.”
Employees learned of the cuts on Monday in a video message from Michael Adams, CEO of BlueOval SK.
Adams announced the transition would mean “the end of all BlueOval SK positions in Kentucky.”
and most people don’t want an ipad on wheels. I know most cars are just screens now, but I don’t know of any EVs that has buttons, knobs, or actual window cranks. I don’t want to go 3 screens deep just to turn on the AC.

Gonna take this opportunity to be a corporate shill and praise my Kia EV6. They really nailed the layout of the dash. It’s a good blend of digital and physical. Hope more manufacturers learn from them.

Popping the trunk, or turning on the windshield defogger is another story though. Hit the HVAC button on the bottom right of the center screen, then hit the defog option, then close the menu, and set your temp and fan speed from the main screen. Good thing you never need to mess with that while you are driving, it would be very distracting.
Totally agree. It’s funny now that it seems luxury has come back full circle to adding buttons again. I remember in the 90s the joke was that luxury cars had way too many buttons. Then people complained about the blanks covering where buttons would be if you bought a higher trim so they just got rid of buttons all together.
