L cars (Charger, Challenger, 300) will be phased out soon. A little birdy told me something with electrification is going in that plant.

There are several reports that the Mustang is going all electric for the next generation.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm not sure where you're getting your information. The Japanese are pretty behind on EV development. So much so, that Honda/Acura has to partner with GM. The Japanese companies were banking big on Hydrogen.

The biggest competitors in the space are Tesla, and the Germans. GM has put themselves in a good position in the EV race. EV seems to be way forward. Whether you like it or not, whether you want an EV or not, is all besides the point.

Semi-conductors are being allocated to the high volume, high profit plants. It's business, I get it. What's the alternative? GM use them on slow selling cars and potentially make themselves financially vulnerable? Then people will cry "old GM" "GM never learns" "GM will be bankrupt again".

I'm in the same spot as you, waiting for my car since late Feb/early March. I knew what I was getting into. I knew semi-conductors were a looming issue. I decided to order any way. I'm in the industry, so maybe that's why I don't feel that GM owes me anything - aside from the car I'm buying.
