Or at least that’s what AutoBlogGreen recently asked, vis-à-vis the impact of electric cars on manufacturing jobs, and car repair facilities everywhere. It’s a good question to be sure, but they seem to be off in a few respects. For starters, they say ” … the thousand of individuals that make their livings devising and repairing the inner-workings of the automobile are reportedly worried about their job prospects.”

First off, the people that assemble cars are not machinists. People that work in assembly plants are skilled laborers, but they don’t have the training or skill of a machinist. It’s a totally different thing. Neither are people that work in garages machinists. I have nothing but respect for people that car remove a tranny, send it out for a rebuild and put it back in and have it run flawlessly. I can’t do that.
