No matter the outcome of the auto labor disputes, Tesla seems poised to come out on top.
Amidst the turbulence of labor disputes shaking the auto sector, one name sails smoothly ahead: Elon Musk's Tesla. This electric car pioneer isn't just skirting the storm; it's leveraging the chaos to its advantage.
Efficiency Over Tradition:
While heavyweights like GM, Stellantis, and Ford grapple with hourly labor costs around $66, Tesla operates at a sleek $45. A potential UAW strike could drive Detroit's Big Three labor costs to a staggering $136 per hour, making Tesla's edge even sharper.
