I've been berated for suggesting that Tesla prove their source of materials and battery manufacturing - but this quote proves I was on the right track...that said, I am not impressed with any Chinese sourced items, as their environmental standards are less than non-existent.
"After it was reported in May that Tesla and Chinese battery supplier CATL were readying a low-cost battery capable of lasting a million miles" https://www.bbc.com/future/article/2...place-on-earth

I don't know of a way to verify either side of that claim. It should be known though, that part of the purpose of Tesla's work with CATL is to minimize / eliminate cobalt content. Same with GM's "million mile battery" project.

I read that, which is a good initiative for sure. EV still isn't the way of the future environmentally - I agree more with Gordon M (McLaren F1 designer) that hydrogen fuel cell technology is much cleaner overall.

No pricing increase for 2021 Corvettes.

Is that because the 2020 model run is going to be so short? Just about every article/magazine/blog expected the price to go up in 21

Pretty much. GM decided it wasn't fair for people who may end up with 2021s instead of 2020s to have to pay more.

GM Authority reporting that 2021 full size trucks will be upgrading to the new SUV interiors.

Finally a step in the right direction. Why they didn't do this in 2015-18 is beyond me. The 19-20's were a step backwards from the previous trucks as well.
