What she is doing now is beyond bold. She recognizes that to stick your head in the sand and continue on is a path to being even more irrelevant than GM is today. On the coasts, a lot of people don't even recognize GM as a car maker.
Going BIG with EVs is a gamble. GM will have to do it better than Tesla for it to work. Cadillac, to go all in 100% EV will have to offer more, better, faster, longer range etc. than Tesla. And if GM does get an EV priced to the point that you can buy one at the equal price or less than an ICE they have a chance. But clearly doing the same thing they've done for 30 years wasn't working.
But to be clear, GM isn't doing this just to meet California regs, they are doing it to become relevant again across the board.

I don't hate her but I think she is a bad CEO and I do think that sexism (anti-male) played a role in her getting the job over more qualified candidates.
