These all sound like regulatory, issues. Nothing that can't be fixed with a minimal amount of political goodwill.

I think it is regulatory. However getting US politicians to do what's right is never trivial. It would take the legislative branch to change the regulations, while likely ignoring lobbyists within the automotive industry. It's fixable but it won't be fixed.

Michigan is an important swing state, and the UAW is a major political player nationally. Ironically, that doesn't stop the US automakers from routinely screwing over auto workers and labor in general.
