Sometime months ago some said legacy auto OEMs had stop putting resources into ICE. Well they have not stopped.
GM has millions of debt and needs to transition to EVs but somehow always has money for new ICE.
Have to wait years for EVs but no problem releasing more ICE.
And how many of these...
GM & Ford are talking out both sides of their mouths.
If you add up the units they claim they will make none of them will be close to Tesla in 2025.
Even combined total of both they will be way below Tesla.
Also GM is problably counting taking 100% credit for the 600,000 $4K micro city EVs (no...
Airliners are super expensive compared to the tractors. Some aircraft have very expensive low hanging parts like engines. Having a roof on the tractor significantly increases chance driver will hit parts of the aircraft body.
Nope, Toyota ( or he Toyoda) has not learned a thing.

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced today that it will enter a vehicle equipped with a developmental hydrogen-powered engine at the five-hour-long Super Taikyu Series 2021 Powered by Hankook Round 5 Suzuka S-tai, which...
China is already the largest car market in the world.
In China, GM is not 100% GM, it is 51% a Chinese partner company.
So really in a decade the Chinese will just be mopping up the remaining pieces of GM.
Toyota claims in production by mid decade ( 2025-2026 ?? ).
Initially solid state batteries will be expensive so no $50K and under solid state BEVs for a long time.

Toyota will use Tokyo Olympics to debut solid-state battery electric vehicle

One of the critera Elon has is where a lot of engineeers are available or would be interested in moving too.
Unfortunately Vietnam & Nigeria are not high on the list.

Yes, true but most car buyers do not know that and the survey was about brands.
The VW brand might have shipped more BEVs than GM, Ford, Honda, Nissan, BMW, Audi combined.

I think today VW is in second place for # BEVs shipping in 2021 (will probably be 2nd in 2022 too).
VW CEO, Dr. Herbert Diess, is going be very sad that Toyota beat VW in survey and so did Suburu, BMW and Audi. Ouch.
Elon's red phone might be ringing again soon for another emergency...
Yes, it is absolutely right to give Elon more credit. He has made many bold things that other experts said was impossible and Elon & his teams succeeded.
Mary Barra has done nothing special. Is a run of the mill MBA.
5 years ago GM claimed they would have 5 EVs by NOW. Today they are selling...
It is shameful and complete disrespect and slap in the face to the hard work by Tesla engineers and factory workers that GM will be allowed to slap together low innovation & environment destroying PHEVs and these GM PHEVs will get more subsidy than Tesla.
Tesla workers & owners will pay more...
No, it is not harsh it is exactly what she said

Yes, GM is not an innocent bystander.
GM might not have invented any battery tech BUT GM absolutely DID BUY key NiMH battery patents and then made sure nobody could use them to make BEVs.
Later GM sold the patents to major fossil fuel company that buried them further.
