My step-dad sold Chevy's and Honda's (way back when I was a kid). He was
one of the first in California to sell Honda's. Saved his business.
However, what kept his business open and running, day-in and day-out was
the shop. People might not buy a new car, but they sure will need to get
it repaired.
Once the EV becomes mainstream, that source of daily cash is going to
serious dwindle. THAT, I believe, is one of the big stumbling blocks
facing the big OEMs.

Personal opinion only: It looks to me like GM and Ford know how to build
electric cars, they just don’t seem to have any idea how to sell them. As long
as they only see EVs as a threat to existing ICE auto sales, they won’t bother
to properly market them. For the most part, dealers pretty much don’t seem to
want them around at all. Automakers build cars the dealers want, then the
dealers sell them to the public. Tesla works without this “filter”.
Unfortunately, dealer agreements probably mean GM and Ford can’t do this.

GM and Ford’s EV production plans for the US have leaked, and they are a
joke
March 26, 2020 ... despite the grand gestures and proclamations of an
electric car-centric future from American automakers General Motors and
Ford, the two companies’ actual production plans for North America are still
centered on large, internal combustion-powered vehicles ... have been
insisting that they are all-in on an electric car push ... 5% of Ford and
GM’s combined vehicle production in North America, and less than Tesla’s
output in 2019 from its one factory in Fremont, CA ...

Ford and GM won't be selling many electric vehicles soon ...
2020-03-26 ... automakers would love to get a little of that Tesla magic and
money ... trying to play to Wall Street, which thinks the future is all
about electric vehicles ...
