Is that why I've never seen an actual Ultium powered vehicle outside of GM's advertising?

That's the characteristic aroma of woke culture. Get woke & smell smoke.

There may be be a patent infringement lawsuit from Lucas, since they invented smoke generated from electrical sources.

I agree that batteries are going to blow up and that could even be a part of development and validation. However, if it's not contained then there is a major safety issue that needs to be dealt with at that facility.

Lithium batteries explode in the lab sometimes. Just like they do in the car/truck. It's all in the name of progress. Nothing to see here.

I'm guessing it wasn't the China battery that you probably made up.
