(Yet no where in the last part of that sentence is the weight of said '25 models just after admitting that the current models are, in fact, too heavy). How does the increased range and charging speed help bring down the weight? Oh that's right. That was a misdirection post. ICE apples to EV oranges. Try again. That doesn't make what was said about GM and their weight any less on point. They are too heavy.

This is just getting brutal. On top of the stop sales from GM, there this article about the Blazer EV that does not helps GMs cause at all. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2024-chevy-blazer-ev-long-term-faults.html?fbclid=IwAR1wprpgZnMgYjAnMpGfgFg_YyjAk4-Lnx4WlzMGE00V97KB0XPJfT061LY_aem_Aa4HA3YSHA7kBT9c-ajA9jcs8cAY6y7Jhu4th0Ncqf3wAF-GQeydI9WgTS47yyAkLSo Again, the replies write themselves.

Getting in and out of the Camaro was an issue, and I’m fairly limber. But once inside, it fit me so perfectly. It was one of the best ergonomic cars I’ve ever driven. The balance of the platform is fantastic and even in V6 form is more than enough to get you in trouble. great car and sad to see it go

"He only points out problems from 40 years ago"-Anonymous poster Some replies, though, practically writes themselves. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/gm-issues-stop-sale-silverado-171436319.html Figure it out GM.

It is so much easier to innovate when you have no legacy to hold onto. Ford and GM would prefer NOT to build EVs under any circumstances if their CEOs were completely honest about it. Stellantis too.

In the Seattle office for the first time since pandemic started in 2020. Wow, they are really trying to get folks back in as the landlord built a very nice gym that is free, a juice bar that is free and updated the whole building. My last day back in February 2020 we had 2 EV charging parking spots and they were always full with people slacking each other to move EVs around to get charged. Today there is 12 dedicated stalls now.

Can't GM or any entity, for that matter, announce layoffs AFTER Christmas or the holidays are over? Is it about making some kind of a favorable accounting or tax related entry on the books for the current fiscal year? (I'm theorizing, since I can't come up with what that would entail.) Shouldn't it be about people? Who wants to see glum faces at the breakfast or dinner table?

The EQ naming is going away after this generation, because the next Generation of S-class, E-class etc will only be electric and there will be no ICE version, thus you can jus have E450 or S500, etc. Mercedes executives have even said they aren't keeping the EQ naming structure. And the Mercedes EV's are too heavy, but their next generation tech is due for 2025 model year, and the electric CLA is targeting a 400+ mile range and 800 volt architecture. The current EQ cars (although they beat their EPA estimates in range) are behind what Tesla has in terms of range and performance and the EQ cars are too expensive when an ICE E-class is cheaper with better interior and better styling. But as I said, the 400 volt batteries and the current motors are all getting replaced in 2025 with a new generation. GM on the other hand is going to be ramping up Ultium for 2025 model year when it is old tech. Cadillac used to be all into cutting weight, and bragged about their sub 4,000 lb full size CT6, I bet the Vistiq is over 6,000 lbs for a vehicle smaller than a CT6.
