The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), also known as the Detroit Auto Show, is scheduled to begin next week, and according to recent comments, President Joe Biden is set to attend.
As reported by Reuters, President Biden announced that he will attend the 2022 Detroit Auto Show during a recent event.
“I’ll be there,” Biden said at the event, per Reuters. “I’m a car guy – as you kind of noticed.”
The Biden administration has been outspoken in its support for the auto industry’s pivot to all-electric vehicles, including moves made by General Motors. Most recently with the Inflation Reduction Act, which Biden signed into law last month, electric vehicle buyers are now eligible for an extended tax credit, with upwards of $7,500 available for buyers who purchase a new EV manufactured in North America. That includes several GM vehicles that were previously unavailable for the credit due to a 200,000-vehicle cap, now lifted by the recent legislation.
The Biden Administration previously proposed new standards for federally funded EV chargers, plus plans to build an additional 500,000 EV chargers across the U.S., with the aim being the creation of a convenient, reliable, and affordable EV charging network. President Biden has also proposed that at least 50 percent of new vehicles sold by the 2030 calendar year should be either all-electric or plug-in hybrid.
The upcoming 2022 Detroit Auto Show will mark the first time the show has been held since 2019, with the show canceled previously due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Looking ahead, Chevy is set to unveil a new product at the 2022 show, although it’s uncertain at the time of this writing exactly what that product will be. The 2022 Detroit Auto Show will kick off on September 15th with the official NAIAS media day, while the show will be open to the public between September 17th and September 25th.

Stay at home in the D.C. SWAMP and keep your Energy Hog EV frauds there too. When are you gonna’ “forgive” my auto loan ? Will Barra be present to genuflect at your knees and kiss your ring ?
Maybe he’ll be breaking a bottle of wine on the hood of a new GM EV?!
He’d miss!
I didn’t think “cousin IT” knew how to drive! I am shocked. How rich is it that CA was asked to NOT charge there vehicles during last week heat wave. EV are a total joke. Since they want to get rid of gasoline vehicles, how long before they want to take the tires away? Just saying,,
All those lawncare owners will be tested first in CA. Should be interesting how all electric machines will last through 10 hour work day.
Why they are no longer allowed to water the grass so most are just putting rocks in the S Cal area.
Real grass is getting rare out there accept for the Hollywood people.
Well, he ruined the economy, our foreign relations and now the auto shows!!!! No seriously, his presence will ruin this as the amount of security that must now be pressent will mean that when you take little Tommy to look at his favorite car in the flesh, some secret service man will come along and tell him to move cause the president is coming. They’ll crowd half the visitors into the other half of the expo center and keep the Pressident to himself.
After his last weeks hate speech and union speeches, there will be no MAGA folks allowed in as they disgust him so the crowd should be very-very lite.
I dare someone that lives in Detroit walk by him with a MAGA hat on and look into camera or yell MAGA …lol
“Ruined the economy?” Sure….
Unemployment Rate Remains a Record Low
Alabama’s unemployment rate remained at a record 2.6% in July.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama’s unemployment rate remained at a record 2.6% in July, officials said Friday.
The rate, which remained the same from June, represented 59,419 people without jobs statewide, a new record low, according to a statement by Gov. Kay Ivey. More than 2.2 million people were working in the state, an increase of about 65,475 from a year earlier.
Alabama’s rate was lower than the U.S. unemployment rate of 3.6% for the month.
Minnesota’s July unemployment rate stays at record low 1.8%

(ABC 6 News) – The unemployment rate held steady at 1.8% in July 2022 – tying the record low since the metric has been tracked in 1976.
The numbers were released Thursday by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
The 1.8% was also the all-time lowest state rate on record in the United States as of June.
I think the record inflation and $5 a gallon gas under Biden is awesome!
Ya, because he invented COVID and he invaded Ukraine. He has so far only been able to work on unscrewing so much stuff behind the scenes that pork-butt destroyed while in office — it’s unbelievable. Also unbelievable that people are still giving pork-butt money, you know it’s all an act just to con as many people into supporting his lifestyle (including the RNC).
Yep, Biden certainly has fixed inflation, gas prices, Covid (more deaths under him than Trump), rioting, rampant city crime, and boy did he fix those pesky student loans! And he has really fixed the FBI’s covering for trusty son Hunter. He’s done a real bang-up job!
I know…”but Trump” 1-1/2 years later. Again, I promise, it’s okay to criticize your precious Democrats. It really is.
Biden helped Russia fund the Ukrainian war by approving their pipeline to Europe so now Russia can sell their natural gas. Fleeing Afghanistan did not help things either because the US is now seen as weak on the world stage.
BTW “pork butt”, unlike Captian Depends, does not need money. Trump actually earned his money and was not a lifelong political hack like Biden.
Dave, you do know that if you run out of unemployment benefits that takes you off the unemployment list.
Dave is a puppet like his master. The Labor Force Participation rate is still lower than pre-covid days, which equates to less workers, even though unemployment is low. Luckily, everyone has been getting 10 – 20% raises to offset the inflation….NOT!
“Unemployment rate” is a lie. It only counts people who are actively looking for a job. Look at total employment numbers. Under the prior administration it returned to a pre 2008 60%+. Under this administration it has hung in the low 50’s and as of this summer barely topped 58%. So Biden given a beautiful economy from the last guy has pushed out 10% of workers to welfare.
So the “true” “unemployment rate” is actually 44% right now. That’s people not working
Define “unemployment.” Do these calculations include the thousands/millions who just stopped looking because the small businesses where they used to work, before government shut downs and welfare handouts, have all gone toes up…??
I am not a fan of electric .I am gong on 85.Have two camero one a 2016 V6convertible such a beautiful vehicle .Also a Buick encore for daily driving very fuel economic .My advise leave well enough alone back off electric .
Since Biden is a corvette guy, I wonder how he and Hunter like his new Z06!
SIgh… here we go again.
Those who dislike EV’s, just do not buy one! Life is only so long! Enjoy the process but steer away from the negativity. As a lifetime GM man, I’ve owned the ’99 Escalade SUV, the 2002 Escalade EXT, the 2007 Avalanche LTZ and currently driving the 2012 Avalanche LTZ. No problem with any of these with proper maintenance. The reason I keep buying them! There’s space next to the ’12 for the HUMMER EV3X, whenever they get around to building it. I am a USAF Vietnam veteran ’69-70, still having fun and anxious for this new tech. What I am not is someone anxious to leave a negative comment anywhere I can put one. Enthusiasts!… please enjoy the ride, buy what pleases you and flush the negativity!
“Those who dislike EV’s, just do not buy one!”
Is this going to be an option when big government mandates feel-good all electric? Just love it when companies and government tell me what to buy (and what to eat, what shots to take, what loans to pay, etc.).
And now, any and all disagreement is “negativity”…and “hate” to others, both who know the argument for all-electric has massive, unreasonable holes in it.
I guess I, and many others, should just smile and go along with whatever government deems “necessary”.
No, just stop crying and whining about EVs. “Real cars” are still going to be around for a REALLY long time. Just because new cars are driving toward an all-electric future (until the next big thing comes along) doesn’t mean all engines immediately cease to exist.
If you read the California mandate, all you need is a PHEV battery that will get you 50 miles and the car can have the most ridiculously obscene engine possible.
Until they’re mandated off the road by 2036 by EO…
@ Dude
People can complain about whatever they want on here you aren’t the website dictator or a moderator here.
Fred, thank you for your service. I too am currently a public servant and enjoy being a car guy. GMA provides a forum for us to express our negativity. When this corrupt incompetent president says he’s going to the Detroit Auto Show because he’s a ” car guy ” is ridiculous. The secret service could drop him off at a Park & Ride and tell him he’s at the auto show and he wouldn’t know the differents. You have to ask yourself why the big push for EV’s. We already know Jennifer Granholm is investing in energy stocks. Paul Pelosi, invested in battery stocks when Biden was campaigning, but sold them when he found out that Biden said the manufacturing has to take place in the US, what’s Hunter doing with his money when he’s not doing drugs? Is he investing in EV’s? What was the motivation behind the Vietnam war? How much money was made by crooked politicians? Again, Fred thank you for your service.
“Those who dislike EV’s, just do not buy one!”
That will only work for so long. Eventually, you will be forced to go electric, whether you want to or not.
States mandating no new ICE by 2035, doesn’t sound like a free market society. It is socialism hidden behind environment concerns. Government telling you what you will have. A fee market society should have a choice. If EV is truly better the consumer will know. Given a choice of steak or a hotdog ? Can the consumer determine and choose the better meat. You bet they can.
It must be nice to live in a world where climate change doesn’t exist
The US forced to go all electric will have ZERO impact on climate change as long as China, Russia, India, etc do nothing to curb their emissions. The US is just being suckered by lowlife politicians to “save the planet” when all it will do is cost its citizens more money and convenience.
The climate change argument would have a lot more ‘teeth’ if countless doomsday deadlines hadn’t come and gone, with the majority of them being completely wrong and embarrassing. But the doomsday deadlines just keep coming regardless.
The continuous sky is falling chant by the left hasn’t helped.
Dave, you just make sure you’re doing your part before chiding others. Now how many times are you flying this year? Last year? The previous year?
Yup climate change does exist and has existed for millions of years. Forcing some EV’s with hard to obtain battery materials will make no difference expect for certain politicians bank accounts with China!
Meanwhile, in Kalifornia, the electrical grid is already so overtaxed, that people are being asked to raise AC thermostats and cut back power consumption until after 10 pm. All in a state that has publicly banned the sale of ICE powered cars in a few more years. This is the world of Chaos that nitwits like the Imbecile In Chief and his party has created.
I have too jump on this wagon. When I lived in CA in the 70s stationed at North Island, apartments and rental houses were all kitchen electric and A/C & heater electric. Rent back then was 800.00 and your electric bill was 200.00 Some landlords would combine rent and utilities and so your rent goes sky high!
Can’t imagine today’s prices and now EV charges … holy cow! Serious utility spend with rationing. Medical and emergency equipment is electronic and needs charging to.
Just keep in mind another utility – water… Major rationing, no car washes, no sprinkler watering, and toilet flushing, only #2… Serious rationing…
CA is the quenessentional rationing state.
Good luck in CA.
My $130 grocery bill that’s now knocking on $175-200 says Steve’s right. So do my $100 fill-ups that used to be $65…
For Pete’s sake, it’s OKAY to be critical of your Democrats. I promise.
So you really can’t see that the reason for what you are complaining about (massive wildfires and a/c usage to stop people cooking from the inside out) is that everybody in the world “burns stuff” to do the most menial things. Whether it’s cutting grass, blowing leaves, powering a generator, heating your house, frying an egg, going to the market, driving to work, transporting cargo, driving a boat, flying a plane, generating power for the grid, flying into space — IT ALL ADS UP! Too bad Al Gore was nice enough to concede instead of putting up a fight to get everyone in the mindset of saving the planet when it was much easier to do. Our kids are pretty much screwed now because of all the everything-deniers that refuse to change their behavior regardless of who it affects.
Let me guess…you don’t do any of those things and WILL NOT do them in the future.
You live in a mud hut, eat crickets, play with unicorns, and draw rainbows…
I thought he was a bicycle guy……oops!
Pavement guy, perhaps?
Don’t hate the automakers as they are just trying to survive.
Hate the law makers who are turning our emissions into a global rule not one made by our law makers.
Yes Joe has turned much of or emissions and our future over to people that don’t live here or even in many cases like America. This is just flat wrong as only America and Americans should have say over our rules and regulations that affect our economy.
Some industry push back would be a good place to start. I understand that they’re being coerced by the 10% guy and his 10% administration, but people had no problem pushing back vocally against Trump, so It can be done.
Joe is a good ‘old boy. He’s not dangerous. I’ll take him over the untrustworthy riot instigator any day.
Lol…. just ask China, Russia and Ukraine who’ve filled his bank accounts as he gives them US jobs and fossil fuel. Hellava nice guy.
The southern border thinks he’s a good guy and those dead illegals crossing and parents and relatives of the dead citizens of fentanyl overdose think he’s harmless. Yeah, hellava nice guy.
How about the 13 that didn’t need die under watch, hellava nice guy as he looks at his watch and doesn’t mention the their names.
I could go on but hopefully you get he’s not a nice guy.
It’s typical of the lefties. Just dismiss what looks awful (and any related debate) and then move on to the next big government revelation.
You obviously have no clue about how different types of government work and likely haven’t been to any other country than your own neck of the woods. You are also confusing this site about cars and trucks with something you can vent your political frustrations on.
This is what the Dems will never understand. This is a free country; you should be able to buy what you want as long as you are not hurting anyone. And know you can’t complain about me polluting when Patel and Clikckak are polluting in India and China.
Dems, stop “helping” is so much, please.
Thanks Al, appreciate your comments above. Here, here for the push for others to realize we are only here for a short period. Enjoying that little time means “be able to buy what you want as long as you are not hurting anyone”. I’m anxious to experience the new technology and cannot remember either political party ever having had a hand in deciding what I drive. Drive whatever, be happy.
Fred, you were born before me and I respect you as a vet, cars that were produced in the 60’s are what enthusiasts long for, I also don’t remember politics being involved with what you can and cannot be purchased. However, in the 70’s you started to see regulations put on cars, CAFE standards, seat belt, horsepower ratings. It really sucked to buy a Trans Am with a 400ci motor that was detuned because of government regulations. So, I was not old enough to pay attention to politics, but I can guarantee they had a hand in regulations.
Just on a funny note, do you remember gas lines. LOL.
Peace
