    President Biden attends GM's Factory ZERO Grand Opening November 17th 2021

      Factory Zero, aka the previous GM Detroit-Hamtramck has finished construction and will finally Grand Open as GM's first Zero Emission auto production assembly plant.

     

    Today GM announced their excitement to have President Biden attend the Grand Opening of Factory Zero Wednesday November 17th 2021.

    In the heart of Detroit and Hamtramck Michigan, GM's first all-electric assembly plant, the culmination of GM's multibillion-dollar U.S. investment in people, products and modernized processes. These electric trucks, SUVs and autonomous vehicles built at Factory ZERO will transform GM and the auto industry as the move is on to emission free auto's.

    GM has looked for ways to move forward using their existing assembly plants and retraining their workforce and with that the local people of Hamtramck, Michigan has seen this modern evolution from a century old company.

    Officially the start of full production with the Hummer Truck by GMC will happen on November 17th 2021, but there has been plenty of mule production runs to work out the assembly kinks. With this official grand open GM is on track to deliver Hummer Trucks to customers by the end of the year if not sooner. Look for the newest Hummer in your neighborhood soon.

    Is there a time before the end of the year? ?

    My local GMC dealer has yet to make any of the EV dealer upgrades, so it'll be interesting to see if deliveries are held up from that regard.

    One of the upgrades is new hydraulic lifts capable to handling the Hummer's massive weight- can't work on some aspects of repairs without a lift.

    I hope that once production actually starts, customers can get some affordable BEVs not just EV Hummers at $100K.

    Supposedly we will see in January at the 2022 CES show the Chevrolet and GMC EV Trucks to battle with Ford. GM has stated they will be very competitive in the prices. 

    Hopefully a decent FRUNK like Ford has and equal spec's.

    This is what they need to do when you have companies like Rivian and Lucid who never even delivered a car worth more than Ford or GM.   Investors only care about EV's but I don't know how the masses are going to afford them at the prices they are at now.

      Toyota News: 2026 Toyota RAV-4 Released as Hybrid Only

      See @ccap41 post about the number of EV9 recalls. Last I checked, they are not ICE.    And data from the last ten years would suggest your opinion about Honda vs Toyota to be off as well. Doesn’t matter though. You made the post for one reason. To troll Toyota.

      Having recalls does not equate to reliable or unreliable. Those things are not mutually exclusive.  A vehicle can be reliable with a ton of recalls or completely unreliable with zero recalls.  A post isn't complete without a political statement by David.

      Lucky me, the American EV9s that have been built does not affect me. Fasteners on the second and third row chairs was not an issue, I had them torqued just fine. Instrument cluster issue never affected me, but I got the software update and still no issue. I do not use the smart parking assist feature nor does my wife, we got the software update fix on our last service visit. My interior ceiling panel was not one of the affected recalled units. Seat Belt retractor issue was also not an issue as it did not affect my EV9 as part of that recall. Driveline differential unit was inspected and found torqued to the right spec. Not an issue.   I suspect that the reason my EV9 has not been affected by the recalls is it was part of the initial launch units which Kia spent I believe more time on making sure everything was right before shipping from Korea. I know that a Gen 1 unit can have it's issues, but so far, been one of the most reliable autos I have owned, especially being a Gen 1 unit. The whole point in posting about Toyota is that if @A Horse With No Name wants a Rav4 Hybrid or older ICE version, that is fine with me and his choice. I just want to point out the recalls and make sure he does his due diligence to ensure that any issues are addressed before one buy new or used. That goes for you @ccap41 or @surreal1272 or anyone here, even @ocnblu as I would not want anyone to get a lemon or buy and have to deal with expensive repairs. No one deserves to have to deal with that. Happy 4th to everyone as I hope you can find solitude in the destruction of our democracy.
