At one point last summer, GM decided to discontinue the Bolt at the end of the year. They later changed their mind, but are changing the battery pack technology so it will take some time to retool the plant. Who is going to buy an EV truck that has lousy towing capabilities? Even if one doesn’t tow anything the resale value is likely to be low..

Reads like nobody will actually be out of work. Per union rules, they’ll create positions to keep them on the payroll somewhere else in GM.

A Federal Mandate that ALL Public Employee’s NATIONWIDE exclusively use non carbon emitting modes of Transportation for ALL Travel to and from their respective workplace and ALL Work related Travel would fix the problem.

Are they cutting 1300 workers or 1300 jobs?

If it is the former, I hope they got lots of bandaids.

GM realizes the E-car was just, plain boojit !

We don't want 'em and are STILL waiting for brand new '56 an' 57 Chevy's in baby blue n' white.

WHAT is wrong with the auto industry . . . we loved our pre '70's cars and we can no longer afford to restore 'em (IF we can FIND one . . ).

... but a brand new from original forms an' stamps with modern technology an' components, all hidden from sight ?

Would YOU buy a brand new '57 T'Bird?
