This sounds awfully like DEC saying that Microsoft DOS wasn’t going to amount to anything and that microcomputers will continue to be what customers want.

[Sacajaweau]

Unless they can tap Tesla’s Brain...they will continue to follow the leader.

[Regulator]

“We want to lead in EVs. Full stop.”

They call her Mary Hilarious

Isn’t GM the maker of the Volt? The spontaneous combustible vehicle?

[max americana]

“That said, GM has been talking up its massive EV future for years, though it doesn’t yet have a whole lot to show”

****

like the Chevy Volt which catches on fire every time you start it?

[Macoozie]

Just about everything GM makes is crap.
FYI- lots of Silverado’s are Hecho’d in ole Meh-he-co

Why would their EV be any different?

[FLNittany]

GM huh? Will the cars run on AA’s or D cells?

[rktman]

Well, we have purchased our last vehicles. Both ICE types. Seems like the used car values may be the latest gold.

[WMarshal]

The best thing for American vehicle manufacturing Be the breakwould be the failure of one of the Big Three so nimbler replacements could arise.

If Barra had any sense he’d be trying to team up with Tesla in some way. Of course, when economics are based on a government hand out, a lot of things look better than reality.

.....Projected sales figures don’t make sense....

All-electric vehicles don’t make sense.

[alternatives?]

Corvair, Vega, Cavalier, Chevette, Volt, etc.

Elon says, “BRING IT ON!”........................

[equaviator]

I hope they fail.

[Red Badger]

Bolt.................

“Barra and GM are well aware that in order to catch and beat Tesla, the automaker needs to expand its EV efforts significantly. Moreover, it needs batteries.”

That’s not what’s keeping GM from expanding it’s EV efforts. The real problem is consumers don’t want EV’s. The GM salesmen I’ve talked to report serious pushback from their clients.

We were in Charleston a few months ago. A parking garage there prohibited Chevy Bolts from parking there due to the fire hazard.

How would all those daunting EV’s been able to “Refuel” during the big power outages on the coast last weekend? Hmmm? Mother Earth zealots are moronic and even more uninformed than the “Flat Earthers”
