I only mention those three because they have already demonstrated high performance EVs. Performance EVs are coming very soon from companies that already make profits from selling cars. BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and McLaren have already announced plans to bring high performance electrics to market, but since those are not here yet, I only mentioned some that are. Tesla, Faraday Future, and NextEV have proven that it is possible. The more established brands will show how to do it profitably.

Even so, I still keep trying to point out that Reuss's statement was taken way out of context. The words "all-electric" continue to be interpreted as "all GM cars will be electric" instead of "some of the cars GM will make will function all-electrically". There will be ICE cars, hybrids (with and without plugs), EVs, and fuel cells. Reuss was only commenting on the EVs and fuel cells and how they fit into GM's zero emissions / zero crashes vision.
