“GM is currently assessing potential future investment,” GM spokesperson George Svigos said in a statement, adding: “No final decision has been made. GM is committed to an all-EV future globally. On that pathway, we continue to study consumer preferences and powertrain options, to ensure we best respond to customer demand and comply with an uncertain, complex and increasingly stringent regulatory landscape for 2027 and beyond.”

    How stupid is this company honestly. Did they really think that people were dying to buy electric cars by the hundred of thousands? People are still in demand for gas and diesel suv and trucks. But at the same time they need to bring back sedans. The Chevrolet volt was probably one of the best cars gm made. Idk why they got rid of it. But then again GM isn’t like Toyota who continue to refine the same product.

        Yeah, it’s practically impossible to sell an electric car without CarPlay. Ask Tesla.

          Tesla has a devoted fanbase, comparable to Apple’s fanbase. Their customers don’t care about CarPlay because they want Tesla and only Tesla.

          GM has no such fanbase. They have some loyal customers, sure. But nobody is dying to get into a Bolt or even an Equinox EV.

          tesla invested far more than any other automaker would into infotainment design, and it’s still a stupid decision on their products too
