GM Rep ends up looking like a real fool
These are the idiots in GM's management today.

No one ever said "man the horse/buggy is so much more fun than driving an internal combustion engine, shifting through the gears, reving it up, hearing it". And don't even start with "well what about manual chokes and carburetors being replaced with direct injection"..... again, it's about the engine. Think before you post. THAT'S the point. |

What she is doing now is beyond bold. She recognizes that to stick your head in the sand and continue on is a path to being even more irrelevant than GM is today. On the coasts, a lot of people don't even recognize GM as a car maker. Going BIG with EVs is a gamble. GM will have to do it better than Tesla for it to work. Cadillac, to go all in 100% EV will have to offer more, better, faster, longer range etc. than Tesla. And if GM does get an EV priced to the point that you can buy one at the equal price or less than an ICE they have a chance. But clearly doing the same thing they've done for 30 years wasn't working. But to be clear, GM isn't doing this just to meet California regs, they are doing it to become relevant again across the board.

I think it comes down to change. Most people do not like change. It's uncomfortable, having to adapt to something new goes against the grain. Repetition and habits keep that warm and fuzzy feeling inside, as soon as something different occurs it can put people off balance. There are some who adapt faster than others, some who just go with the flow, but in general most people do not like and do not want change.

If people want them, let the market dictate. They let the market dictate on SUVs. Why not let the market dictate on electrics? We know the answer. Too many people just won't speak the truth or are naive and believe what they're told. |

I watched a documentary on it. IIRC it said that NY collected enough horse crap in one week to fill the Empire State Building 4 or 5 stories. Not to mention the man hours of dealing with it. Then there’s the shear amount they eat & the storage to house it & the horses/buggies. Quote:

As someone who lives north of the Twin Cities and likes to take road trips quite often, and EV is not for me. If I want to drive the 6 hours to Thunder Bay or somewhere across the border to fish, I can make it there on one fill up. With an EV, how many times will I have to stop, recharge, and wait? Plus, if you are hauling a boat and all your gear that will reduce your charge even more. I don't forsee there being a big demand for these type of vehicles in rural areas. Sure the coasts and big metro areas they might work, but not for people that like to drive to their long destination.
