    GM Officially Opens Access to Tesla Superchargers Today

      After being delayed due to issues at Tesla, GM officially opened the charge port door of its EVs to Tesla Superchargers

    Starting today, owners of General Motors EVs will be able to charge at more than 17,800 Tesla Superchargers when using a GM approved NACS charging adaptor.  The adaptors are available for purchase through the branded mobile app for $225 USD.  That same app will also allow for seamless location of Tesla Superchargers, location status, and initiate and pay for charging sessions.

    Earlier this summer, we reported that Hummer EVs had access to Tesla Supercharging when a change appeared on the GMC website. Several Hummer EV owners reported being able to charge at Superchargers by adding a Rivian R1T to the Tesla App and using a Rivian or Ford NACS adaptor, meaning that their vehicles VIN had been whitelisted on the Tesla network in preparation for rollout.  A few days later, the website was rolled back, and the language scrubbed as there was an apparent delay. 

    As GM and Tesla complete this project, GM EV drivers will be able to access more than 231,800 public Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers in North America. This number will increase as GM's investment in the new IONNA Charging Network and the GM Energy Network at Flying J and Pilot locations continues.

    GM is STUPID, they should be giving the adapter to the EV customers for free, not charging $225.00.

    Especially considering how many 3rd party adapters are available much cheaper, yes Tesla is making these for the OEMs, but considering that Lectron has a blessed adapter that is cheaper anywhere from $150 to $200 online, it is crazy of GM to charge their early adopters.

    I am very happy with the new EVgo Stations that are starting to open much like a regular gas station. Very cool.

    Ultimately, I think this is the way the industry will go. Rivian and Ford initially gave theirs for free, but now Ford charges for them.  Also, remember that for Tesla access, those adapters won't be needed for future model years, and they'll need to produce adaptors going in the other direction.

      Cadillac News: Cadillac Optiq Will Join V-series Lineup

      By smk4565 · Posted

      It means something in advertising and the Optiq is like a 0-60 in 60 seconds car, which is fine for 90% of buyers but you have to have that 500 hp option for a 4 second car. And I get that all these EV's are fast, but all these Chinese EV's are doing self driving and crazy horsepower or they can double as a boat or jump over speed bumps or some other crazy thing so you have be able to complete with them in Asia.  And in the USA, Cadillac has to compete with the Germans who all do performance.

      Tariff Tuesday - Buick's Tough Spot

      By smk4565 · Posted

      I'd say Buick interiors are more Hyundai/Kia level.  Yes they are better than Chevy, but Chevy has historically had bad interiors. The new X3 interior is a design mess, but probably still better than anything GM has near that price.  BMW outsold Cadillac and Buick combined last year in the US.  Despite Cadillac's EV resurgence that I think is going pretty well, they still have a long way to go.   GMC to Chevy is Jeep to Dodge, basically the same, a little more trucky and less brand image stigma.

      Horsepower means next to nothing nothing in EV. It’s a meaningless metric. Show me torque at zero rpm.

      But that’s what I’m saying. The Envision is much nicer than the Chevy inside, and for the price nicer than the BMW too. The Enclave could be powered better, but the interior is appropriately luxury car level. The only one I’d question is the Encore GX but it sells really well, so it’s gotta be making them a profit pre-tariffs. GMC is much closer to Chevy

      Industry News: SLATE EV Pickup starting at under $20,000, Funded by Jeff Bezo

      By smk4565 · Posted

      It is an interesting idea to have this low cost vehicle that people can customize now they want.  I suspect though that as much as people say they want a small truck or want a basic car with manual windows, etc they won't actually buy it.  It's like people saying they want a manual transmission station wagon, but no one actually buys it.
