Guaranteed not to make a dime for GM. So far VW, Ford and GM are losing money on every EV they make. It appears that given a free choice people prefer the reliability, safety, range and easy refueling of vehicles with internal combustion engines. The Democrats are pushing unwanted, uneconomical EVs. Soon the car makers will be screaming and demanding a bailout. If the Republicans win big in November auto stocks will drop steeply.
The tradeoff is in length of time to charge battery as well as the cost of electricity to charge.
EVs, depending on the size and specifications of the battery, typically take at least 30 minutes to get 80 percent charged at the fastest charging stations out there.
...a little voice inside my head will say, don’t look back you can never look back...
The Baker Electric of 1910 sold for 2800 today that would be over 80k. And the range was similar to todays EV’s when you consider the condition of the roads.
It was also thought to be a very feminine vehicle as it didn’t have a clutch, gearshift, a smelly carburetor, and you didnt have to crank start it.
Not much has changed
Cadillac , taking up the most space in Junkyards
GM is failing and is actually doomed.
Will they put a Deadhead Sticker on it?

It’ll be a “I DID THAT” sticker
Does it come with an optional gas engine?

Naaa. Just a pull chain hook.
At that price, the only people who will be able to afford them are drug pushers, “smash and grabbers” and Walmart looters.
How about an onboard fire suppression system?
If I had $300K to spend on a car, I sure as hell wouldn’t waste it on an overpriced kiddie car.
Buttigieg can afford one.
Why can’t you?
A four seater to boot.

The is the reason for only 4 seats. From the article:
“Thanks to the Cadillac Celestiq’s low roof, it would be impossible to seat passengers comfortably atop a skateboard battery like the one in the Lyriq, Hummer, or Silverado EV. So here the footwells are all “hollowed out,” with most of the battery modules residing in a high, wide center console that runs about 8 feet down the entire center of the car.”

“It’ll be a “I DID THAT” sticker”
So you’re saying it’s the same as a Dead Head sticker..... Because it is
X 100+ million EVs.
But they all run on non global warming fairy dust..so, people barely getting by on 20k a year should get one...
