I guess one plus of getting EV's now is that they are loading them up with options and putting more effort into exterior and interior design/quality. Who would have thought super cruise would come to the Bolt? All the special EV's are coming out now, even though range isn't great yet, in the future we will get more mainstream/barebones options. They'll start cost cutting on the interiors, lol.

thinking of gm cost cutting interiors is comparable to dodge cost cutting on paint.

I actually think GM will do well with EVs and they seem prepared for that. The new Hummer has impressive interior quality on first impression. New Bolt looks solid too. I was thinking overall, I wonder if these interior color combinations and intriguing designs will last past the initial launch of EVs once EVs become the standard. Can't know for sure as more standard models are replaced with EV powertrains. As in, if Chevy made an Equinox EV , the EUV Bolt will be probably be the more premium option. Or will it? We will find out, lol. For now, the EVs being introduced are given more attention to detail to wow the consumers and give them incentive to buy into their first production EVs. Which is why Ford made the Mach E a mustang brand. They need their first EVs to be successful.

How many Mach E owners will say "I drive a Mustang" and leave out the Mach E part?

Looks like Ford is paying automotive Youtubers to advertise for the new 'Mustang' and prepare people for EV future:
Doesn't mean the coupe Mustang will disappear, it will become EV eventually, but can you imagine being a Mustang owner post 2023 when the 7th gen comes out? Supposedly there will be a sedan Mustang to complement the Mach E SUV and OG Mustang coupe. Take rate will be higher on the SUV and Sedan, might kill off the real Mustang all together, lol. At least GM isn't making the Camaro an SUV yet . |

Yeah, RIP to OG Mustang owners, soon they will be lectured by the sedan and suv Mustang owners over how theirs is a an even more real Mustang than the one that has been produced for decades.

The naming convention is an enthusiast nightmare - but corporate will love it as the soccer mom's brag about their Mustangs at the local quick charge stations.

Kid you not, I've seen about a dozen of these already in the Detroit area, all but one of them was driven by a female. Cars are just status symbols to people these days and so less and less enthusiast options will be available. Even the Lamborghini SUV has become the top seller for Lamborghini. Lol, f you if you go to Lamborghini to buy an SUV, what the hell is appealing about a SUV over the Huracans?

Maybe in their infinite wisdom GM will create an electric 4-door El Camino and hang the Camaro name on.

The Chevy Bolt EVs should become part of the Corvette brand as the E-Vette...Its a catchy name, as in the girl's name, so it should appeal to females who could now say they own and drive a Corvette.
It would be in the same spirit and EV promoting future as the Mustang Mach-E. |
