Everyone's asking whether AI and EVs will kill automotive jobs. Wrong question. The real story isn't disappearing jobs — it's disappearing job descriptions. The mechanic, the salesperson, the service advisor you knew five years ago? That role still exists. Almost nothing else about it does. Over the next 30 days, I'm publishing REWIRED — a series on how automotive employment is being rebuilt from the OEM floor to the dealer counter: → Why EV technicians need a completely different skill core than ICE mechanics → How the gig economy is quietly entering dealer networks — from doorstep PDI to freelance F&I → The rise of the "automotive coder" and why OEMs are now fighting tech companies for talent → New job categories with zero precedent — battery swap technicians, charging uptime engineers → What AI actually elevates on the shop floor (and what it doesn't) This isn't a doom-and-gloom take. It's a practitioner's map of where the jobs are actually going — for anyone building a career, a dealership, or a workforce strategy in this industry. Part 1 : "The Great Rewiring." If you lead network planning, HR, or dealer operations — which of these three forces is hitting your organization hardest right now? Drop a comment, I'm tracking patterns across markets for the rest of this series. Follow along if you want to see this coming before your org chart forces you to. #REWIRED #FutureOfWork #AutomotiveIndustry #EVTransition #WorkforceStrategy #MobilityJobs
