Elon Musk hasn’t been sighted at the picket lines in Missouri, Ohio, or Michigan, where autoworkers are striking against the Big Three US carmakers. Yet the influence of Musk and his non-unionized company Tesla have been everywhere since the United Auto Workers called the strike last week. In some ways, Tesla—the world’s most valuable automaker by market capitalization—set the whole thing in motion.

Tesla’s pioneering electric vehicles kicked off a new era that has turned the entire auto industry on its head. In a scramble to compete with Tesla and make that transition, the legacy automakers targeted by the current strike, General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, have each pledged billions in global investment and have begun dramatically restructuring their operations. For workers, the “green jobs” being created can be scarcer and worse paying. Electric vehicle powertrains have many fewer moving parts than conventional gas-powered ones, and so they require 30 percent fewer vehicle assembly hours, according to one estimate. Plants that make EV batteries are generally outside the core, unionized auto supply chain. The United Auto Workers has seen a dramatic drop in membership due to jobs moving outside the US—it lost 45 percent of its members between 2001 and 2022. A future with more electric vehicles could mean fewer union jobs overall. “This strike is about electrification,” says Mark Barrott, an automotive analyst at the Michigan-based consultancy Plante Moran.

The new assembly plants that the legacy automakers need to pull off the transition have been stood up mostly in US states hostile to union organizing, such as Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. And because many of these plants are joint ventures between automakers and foreign battery companies, they are not subject to previous union contracts.

The UAW did not respond to a request for comment, but UAW president Shawn Fain told CNBC last week that the electric transition can’t leave workers behind. “Workers deserve their share of equity in this economy,” he said.

Tesla’s rise over recent years has also put ever-ratcheting pressure on the legacy automakers to cut costs. Including benefits, Musk’s non-unionized EV company spends $45 per hour on labor, significantly less than the $63 per hour spent in the Big Three, according to industry analysts.

Musk’s willingness to upend auto manufacturing shibboleths has also forced his legacy competitors to seek new efficiencies. Tesla led the way in building large-scale car casts, stamping out very large metal components in one go rather than making a series of small casts that have to be joined together. And it pioneered an automotive chassis building process that can be easily adapted to produce different makes and models.

Tesla’s Silicon Valley roots also helped it become the first automaker to envision the car as a software-first, iPhone-like “platform” that can be modified via over-the-air updates. And the company aims to automate more of its factories, and extract more of the materials it needs to build its batteries itself.

Tesla’s novel production ideas could soon lead the company to put even more pressure on legacy automakers. Musk said earlier this year that Tesla plans to build a new, smaller vehicle that can be made for half the production cost of its most popular (and cheapest) vehicle, the Model 3.

Musk says a lot of things, and many don’t come to pass. (The world is still waiting for the 1 million Tesla robotaxis promised by the end of 2020.) But Tesla has been disruptive enough to leave legacy automakers, including Detroit’s Big Three, “in a quest for capital,” says Marick Masters, who studies labor and workplace issues at Wayne State University's School of Business. Detroit’s automakers have made good money in the past decade—some $250 billion in profits—but also paid a significant chunk of it out in dividends. Pressure from Tesla and the EV transition it catalyzed has left them feeling as if they need every penny they can corral to keep afloat as the industry changes.

“They have little money to concede for union demands,” says Masters. The UAW’s wants include significantly higher wages, especially for workers who have joined the companies since their Great Recession and bankruptcy-era reorganizations, which left some with less pay and reduced pension and health benefits.

So far, the UAW has shown little patience for the idea that the automakers it is pressuring are cash-strapped and under competitive pressure. “Competition is a code word for race to the bottom, and I'm not concerned about Elon Musk building more rocket ships so he can fly into outer space and stuff,” UAW president Fain told CNBC last week when asked about pressure from Tesla. He has argued that production workers should receive the same pay raise received by auto executives over recent years.

When automakers have taken the opposite tack, insisting that they’re well capitalized and making plans to put them ahead of the electric car maker—well, that set up conditions for this strike too. The three American automakers are forecasted to make $32 billion in profits this year, a slight dip from last year’s 10-year high. “The more they toot their own horns about profitability, the more the union looks at them and says, ‘We want our rightful share,’” says Masters.

Tesla did not respond to a request for comment, but Musk has, in typical fashion, chimed in. He posted on X last week to compare working conditions at his companies with the competition, apparently seeking to turn the dispute he helped foment into a recruiting pitch. “Tesla and SpaceX factories have a great vibe. We encourage playing music and having some fun,” he wrote. “We pay more than the UAW btw, but performance expectations are also higher.” A UAW attempt to organize Tesla workers in 2017 and 2018, as the company struggled to produce its Model 3, failed. The National Labor Board ruled that Tesla violated labor laws during the organizing drive; the carmaker has appealed the decision.

Performance That Impresses

The 2025 Grand Highlander continues to offer three distinct powertrain options, each with its own character. The base 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivers a respectable 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque - adequate for daily driving but somewhat underwhelming when fully loaded.

Where the Grand Highlander truly shines is with its hybrid offerings. The conventional hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors for a combined 243 horsepower, delivering exceptional fuel economy reaching up to 36 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive configuration.

The crown jewel remains the Hybrid MAX powertrain, exclusive to the Limited and Platinum trims. This performance-oriented system combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with more powerful electric motors, generating an impressive 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The Hybrid MAX transforms the Grand Highlander's driving dynamics, delivering surprisingly quick acceleration (0-60 mph in just 6.3 seconds) and confident highway passing power.

Interior Space and Versatility

The "Grand" in Grand Highlander isn't just marketing - this SUV delivers substantially more interior space than its standard Highlander sibling. The third row is genuinely adult-friendly, offering 33.5 inches of legroom and comfortable seating positions that don't force knees skyward.

Cargo capacity stands out even among competitors, with 20.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 57.9 cubic feet with the third row folded, and a cavernous 97.5 cubic feet with both rear rows down. Thoughtful storage solutions throughout the cabin - including generous door pockets, multiple cup holders, and a spacious center console - enhance everyday usability.

Technology and Comfort

For 2025, Toyota has enhanced the Grand Highlander's technology suite. The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system now features improved responsiveness and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The available digital rearview mirror and 360-degree camera system make maneuvering this large SUV surprisingly easy.

Comfort features abound, particularly in upper trims. The Platinum grade offers heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, a panoramic moonroof, and a premium 11-speaker JBL sound system. The massage function in front seats is a welcome addition for longer journeys.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard across all trims, offering adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and traffic sign recognition. The 2025 model introduces enhanced sensor capabilities and improved low-light pedestrian detection.

Value Proposition

Starting at around $44,000 for the base XLE model and climbing to approximately $59,000 for the fully-loaded Hybrid MAX Platinum, the Grand Highlander positions itself as a premium entry in the segment. While pricing exceeds some competitors like the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade, the combination of Toyota's reliability reputation, excellent hybrid efficiency, and genuine three-row comfort helps justify the premium.

The Verdict

The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander successfully addresses the standard Highlander's most significant weakness - third-row and cargo space - while maintaining the brand's strengths in reliability, efficiency, and resale value. For families needing genuine three-row functionality without moving to a full-size SUV or minivan, the Grand Highlander represents one of the most compelling options available today.

[another-punk-trans-woman]

Holy shit. That's an even worse idea than it sounds. CANbus wiring is not only incredibly delicate and easy to disrupt with nearby high voltage (like... I dunno. A high voltage battery for powering EV motors?) But also even harder to repair properly if something does happen, especially unibody frame vehicles like the cybertruck, which I'll bet will route those cables through the unibody for better shielding.

Looking at the supplied pictures, though (and going based off my own knowledge from working on more conventional EVs) the powertrain looks to be mostly seperate from this bullshit, so there's not more risk of them just shutting off and having to ditch them on the side of the road (what's that you say? They've been popping up abandoned on the side of the road for months? Huh! Wierd!)

We all know redundancy=reliability, and these have none. So to recap, this thing is going to be impossibly sensitive to the tiniest electrical fault which could brick your car while on the road, and incredibly difficult to repair if a fault does happen (not to mention the other crap wrong with it.)

I'll be genuinely shocked if we make it to 2030 without some regulations outlawing this level of stupidity from the NHTSA.
