Inventory is not given away. They are sold at negotiated value. They just have to have buyers. Massachusetts tried hard to have local governments to buy GM cars to save the plant in Framingham. When the plant manager forgot to get local help, he was shut down. It was a way of life for many years extortion on government business? Congress will get government together to replace their old cars, then, they don't have to give away free money or loans that can not be repaid. Ask Europe and China about GM repaying their loans? When car executives not paying attention to dealers and try to bank on battery cars, you know the handwriting is on the wall. No one can use battery cars except for golf courses and local traffic. Long distance driving, you have to have built in battery chargers like a small gasoline engine. Then the gas mileage is less than 50 miles per gallon. So, it is aerodynamics and light weight cars but large size that will sell? SUVs are versatile, they sell good? 4 wheel drive for northern climate, they sell good? We all know what sells, but not the car executives?
