Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

Maybe the batteries are so expensive they need to cut corners in other places like interiors or maybe they're saving weight so they can advertise higher range

"I can't tell if GM buyers are d-mb or just naive."
"The EVs GM is producing is full of hard plastic and rather uncomfortable."

I sure hope you aren't a General Motors employee. Your ranting and negativity are getting really tired. Maybe get a hobby or find something fun to do like eat an ice cream cone.

I can't tell if GM buyers are d-mb or just naive.

For the cost of 6 figures and up I thought something like the Cadillac Escalade would be different from the Chevrolet Tahoe. It's the same thing. For 6 figures it cost I expected a piece of real wood to be installed for the trim.

Why does GM have all these sister products when there's very little difference?

99% of the die-hard GM fans cannot tell me the difference between the Chevolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.

The EVs are mostly hard plastic interiors.

My biggest problem with EVs: the energy storage system (some call it a battery pack, amongst other names); first it will need replacement eventually and second, at least with an ICE vehicle, I can get the majority of mechanics to work on it, let alone there will be plenty of parts.

The EVs GM is producing is full of hard plastic and rather uncomfortable.

If GM really wants to live on get rid of the sister products! Oh right they can't, the die-hard think there is a difference and are willing to pay whatever GM asks for.

Let the buyers tighten the screws on the suppliers. That's where the real money is.

And how many EVs have they sold over all those years?

Compare to Tesla over a much shorter time

“ Remember the EV1? What's taking them so long?”
GM has been making EVs for years.
Why haven’t you paid attention?

GM has been working on EVs for decades. Remember the EV1? What's taking them so long?

Does Stellantis outsource more to China and Mexico?

They are spending a lot on the what is needed to make EV and since they aren't making them, they aren't recouping the cost.

GM hardly sells any EVs. How much can they lose on them?

profit.... it means gm is smarter in a way by reinvesting. there is a reason they have been around for so long, they know how to play the long game. Labor is way behind in getting caught up to inflation and productivity levels. Skilled Trades are due for a big bump this year.

My guess is two reasons

1, too much cost spend on self driving work

2, loss or limited profit in EV per vehicle sale.
Settantis is out of EV game

GM is trying to start software revenue stream by ki-ling caraway and Android auto. But it takes time

If all 3 of the Detroit car companies pay the same UAW wages, why is Stellantis making 4 times the profit per car as GM?

Is Mary just making a bigger bonus than the Stellantis CEO?
