It was a great business plan...spend billions of dollars to design and build vehicles no one wants to buy. What could go wrong?
Noticed my two neighbors that had EVs - were bragging about them, one had the special electrical outlet installed for the fast charge - have now switched back to gas-powered cars.
Likely GMs management was looking at subsidies. If they believed the public in large numbers “wanted” these vehicles, they’re fidiots.
A neighbor down the street had a Mach-E Mustang as soon as they hit the market.
It is now gone..................
If sales are so good, why are dealers refusing to take new stock? Why are EV spending more time on dealer lots than are ICE?
The problem was that it started with a ridiculous premise.
Biden just needs to BAN ALL ICE powered Vehicles from Federal Properties and force all Federal Employee’s and Contractors to buy an EV, to save the planet of course.
The problem was that it started with BAD SCIENCE................
Jennifer Ruotolo had borrowed the electric vehicle from the dealership while her own car was getting repaired.

Many of us have been warning for years that EV's are not a good solution for most people's needs... and that they come with risks.
It’s not supposed to be a solution, it’s meant to make personal transportation unaffordable for the masses.
How robust is the resale market on used EVs? Bueller?
Coming soon to a country near you...
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2024/02/22/eu-proposed-ban-on-repairing-cars-older-than-15-years/ I do not own a vehicle that is less than 20 years old.
A veritable truth bomb.
Govt Motors is partnered with a scorpian to make the biggest boondoggle in history.
GM can’t get the new ZO6 out of the barn either without boatloads of problems.
I was shocked how many are being reported on corvette forum
GM went off the rails by hiring Mary and then by keeping her for so long.
check this out:
“The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV Left Me Stranded In Rural Virginia
It broke down after a mere 28 hours in my possession, stranding me in Wythesville, Virginia.”

aside from being forced to try to deal with the multiple software failures and design flaws during this short test drive, the interesting issue is that the test driver is focused exclusively on getting to the next charger before his test EV bricks ... so much for a pleasant and relaxing journey ...
Just give me a clean diesel car without all the can-bus BS and I’ll put my own Pioneer Super Tuner in it. It’s a car, not a social media device sheesh.
