So is it official, the six gen dies in 2023?

Definitely not government mandated. Companies are declaring their intent to go mostly or totally electric long before mandated by CARB or anybody else. Most of these declarations were made when Trump was president and both houses under Republican control.

Number 3 has already covered this in this thread, but I will reiterate and add one more piece of information. Camaro is built on the same platform, in the same plant as CT4/CT5. Cadillac has already said they are going all electric. When Cadillac stops making ICE versions of those cars, Camaro also goes away.

Now the new information… in December the Detroit Free Press reported “ GM is eyeing the Lansing area for a new battery plant, based on city records, a statement from the mayor, and a source familiar with company plans who did not wish to be identified.”

Why would GM build a battery plant in or near Lansing? To support production of an electric vehicle factory in or near Lansing. There are two GM vehicle plants in the Lansing area. Grand River (Cadillacs and Camaros) and Delta Township (CUVs). One battery plant could support both, as well as nearby Orion Township which already produces Bolt and Bolt EUV.
