GM is really destroying itself. They sold their European business some years ago and next year their joined venture with SAIC in China is going to end. So the US production is really all they have left and that market just hates EVs. So they probably fail the EV adoption and will last until some strong competitor enters the US market with good EVs. I am not just talking about the Chinese, but also European car companies have some decent offerings these days, with a much better home market.
The ONLY thing GM does really well is fuckoff huge trucks... in the middle of a fuel crisis.
This plant made the Silverado and Hummer EVs. The two biggest, most expensive EVs, which are almost 10,000lbs and impossible to park. Detroit can't get over the obsession with high profit tanks because Americans think bigger vehicles are worth paying more for.
That plan might have worked before Trump tanked the economy with tariffs. But, the last time GM just kept building drove them into bankruptcy.
