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.
Unless they can tap Tesla’s Brain...they will continue to follow the leader.
“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?
“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?
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?
The best thing for American vehicle manufacturing Be the breakwould be the failure of one of the Big Three so nimbler replacements could arise.
.....Projected sales figures don’t make sense....
All-electric vehicles don’t make sense.
Corvair, Vega, Cavalier, Chevette, Volt, etc.
I hope they fail.
“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.
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”
Ford has Mustang and Trucks.
Chevy has Corvette and Trucks.
Dodge has Hellcat and Trucks.
Good luck with Detroit branching out.
They are in serious trouble....again.
Tesla quality control ain’t the best out there. But GM QC has a long way to go before they can even come close.
Are GM and Tesla also investing in electric power stations? Just a little fly in the ointment. Energy, it comes from unicorns.
I dont like either.
One company builds fleets of terrible vehicles. And they are only getting worse.
The other builds slightly better, but you cant have your regular mechanic do anything with them and the company takes months to get even the smallest repairs done and your vehicle has to be sent in.
From what I have read Toyota is going to be the leader in EV’s. They are coming out with more new EV innovations than Tesla and China combined.
GM is an analog for the US. GM was once dominating and innovative. GM was attentive to the customer and was a real benefit to the public.
Now GM is clueless, they make crap, and they don’t care if you like it.
Don’t want their toy cars...ain’t enough juice to run them and I don’t have all day for a ‘fill up’.
