Haven't all the GM EVs missed their promised delivery dates? Just add Blazer to the list.

Keep pushing out EV’s Mary. Ford announced they’ve lost $4.5B on EV’s but keep going idiot. Worst head of GM EVER!

Not even close.

Also note after eliminating the 1LT and pushing everything up 10k that the SS pricing is gone. That’ll easily be in the 70s now. If the base RS is 60k, i’m out. Now to find out how to get my 100 bucks refunded.

I think we’ll be making some very hard comparisons of the Blazer EV RS, Tesla Model Y, and Polestar 2. The Blazer EV is already starting at a deficit in that the AWD (2-motor) version has significantly lower range than the other two.

Yeah Roger Smith was no prize either, but she’s driving the brand into the ground.

She's consistently generating profit every quarter better than any other CEO in recent history. Almost every product line currently in production is competitive with if not best in class within their segments.



Just because the company is starting to build products you don't like doesn't make her a bad CEO.

Have to say, wife and I are disappointed. She's got the perfect commuter scenario for an EV and she loved the styling inside and out. GM still has not sorted this deal out which is unacceptable being this late to the party with any real volume. What changed in a year that justified a 10k price increase when everyone else is dropping prices? I think we'll be looking outside of the GM family for the first time in a long time, perhaps for an PHEV.

The financial performance of the company indicates otherwise. Mary Barra has significantly increased the company’s bottom line and has kept stock prices in very good position. And that is the CEO’s primary responsibility…increase stakeholder value.

Photo is from the Automotive Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony I attended a couple weeks ago. Mary Barra was the headliner of (6) inductees. I don’t think the AHoF is in the business of inducting failures.

Ironic they're standing in front of a vehicle behind schedule and more expensive than previously estimated (by a considerable amount). Agreed however she overall as CEO is performing considering the direction of the industry and the outside influence. Here at Camaro5, I don't think it's far reach to admit we're bitter about where we're headed

Barely noticeable.

On one hand, they’re taking away the cars that we are here to celebrate so it’s understandable that we might be a tad bit pissed. On the other hand, the company is standing behind Corvette and that’s a better car than any of the other domestics are fielding and Stingray is still within reach of what some of us pay for our Camaros. Barely, but within reach.

All this raging financial success only points to zero incentive for gm to mass produce any type of affordable EV. Low volume and sky high prices seem to be the formula that works for gm, not so much for the average car buyer.

What gm says and what they actually do are two different animals. A lot of hype for what will be coming, but it never seems to happen. GM brand loyalty seems like a joke.

EV’s are losing money. She says they will make only EV’s. At some point the government handouts will stop. Then what?

[FenwickHockey65]

Everyone is saying they're only going to make EVs. Meanwhile GM has launched more ICE vehicles than EVs in the past few months.


It's all just talk for now. Will we see greater availability and offerings of EVs in the coming years, definitely. Will we see a 100% EV lineup? Not for a very long time.
