Yep - there’s a ton here - obviously some more established than others - but actually the South is a great place to go to school - whether Clemson and it’s auto research center, all the kids being hired from UTK, Bama, MS State, LSU, etc. and the traditional powerhouses of Michigan and Purdue.

In addition to Ford building battery plants in TN, Benz is adding EV near Tuscaloosa, Rivian is building in Western GA, Subaru is up in Indiana, Mazda/Toyota have a joint venture going up in Huntsville. Volvo in between Columbia and Charleston SC.

One can also go for the EVs/startups too if that’s their thing - you mentioned a few but there’s Canoo, Waymo (Google), Fisker, etc.

I can’t say for sure but I’d have to think someone desiring auto is picking a good industry as it’s in transition - whether or not customers agree with the choice.
