    Good article, but the title is a bit misleading on first glance. Comes across like they are "cutting costs" to try to stay solvent or something. The body of the article makes clear it's about redefining how to build an auto factory (at least for EVs), thereby avoiding the traditional high costs of a plant.

    The reporter writes the article, and no doubt suggests a title, but the editor decides on the title. That's why there's often a huge disconnect between headline and content.

    Yes. The editor's motive is so have a sensationalistic headline to generate page views. We don't have such a motivation, so I've changed the thread title to something more boring.

    Smart move Doug. There are some that troll this site and would seize on such a title to push their anti-EV agenda.

    The article is very well written and positive.
