The game plan is to win customers of course, because GM is having a heck of a time retaining repeat customers. The slow trickle away from GM makes them have to radically change things up, and we can only guess how many employee customers were lost during this downsizing. This is all accumulative.
I think what we are witnessing, is the start of the end for this behemoth. Significant risk at play, for rewards in which almost no one wants. EVs and AVs are a pass, says everyone.
