I expect GM to close all US factories and move all production to China.
And still carry the idle bums that have been out since the 90’s ?
I have absolutely no problem with this. None. But, if after a decade, they are insolvent, I don’t want them crawling back to the taxpayers to bail them out.
How do these EVs operate in below zero weather? Asking for a friend.
Woke Corporate Suicide.
Mary Barra was interviewed a few years ago. Asked about this decision given the fact that given a choice very few choose EV’s. Her answer, in the future they will have no choice. Ford’s management appears to be following GM’s lead in this.
the last time GM made a major corporate turn which ignored their customers and dealers and followed the advice of “experts” was in the 1980’s.
Their “expert” advisors told them that oil prices were going to rise without limit. So GM downsized all their largest, most profitable cars, even though dealers and customers at clinics hated the cars.
The downsized cars where introduced in 1985-86 when oil prices were under $10 / barrel.
Brilliant !
And what is going to power these EV’s? We are seeing how well wind and solar are working just to keep people WARM and ALIVE. Add to this, millions of folks charging their passenger sized AFX / TYCO vehicle batteries.
Why is it so hard for people to contemplate the easily seen consequences of this folly? It’s like giving the car keys to a 4 year old and expect things to turn out well.
If all they manufacture is EVs, it’s all you can purchase.
That’s the plan.
Good thing electricity is magic.
Government Motors?
GM has made numerous poor managerial decisions over the years, but this one takes the cake. If they go all in on this, I don’t expect them to survive (unless the stupid US government bails them out once more).
They are planning to build things that most consumers would prefer not to own. Despite the laws, regulations and promotion by the MSM, don’t see a bright ,profitable future for GM.
I will never willingly buy an “electric” car.
How long before Government Motors is asking for another bailout, for their poor decisions.
If they can’t produce enough electricity to heat homes. Adding more electric use only items is STUPID. Do they think the Jetsons are real.
They would be even smarter to build new power plants to go along with all those electric vehicles.
If you have ever driven and heard the roar of a Corvette or Shelby GT500 you would never buy a car that just hums.
All I saw was a giant framed check signed with “US TREASURY” written on it.
Where are they going to get all of the rare earth minerals for the batteries?
Who the hell is going to buy a car in 2025 that will be worthless in 2035.
