Yea I hear you. GM needed to move on this quickly or the bolt could be the next Cobalt style scandal - except bigger.

A car that you cannot be sure you can safely park in your garage at home is shall we say a "game changer"

Imagine being told you are not permitted by businesses to park next to a structure or in a parking garage, or you pull into a hotel and they make you move it out into a field someplace?

"...Putting out different kinds of fires requires different strategies, and a burning gas tank is not the same as burning lithium-ion battery cell pouches. The USFA says EV fires "can exceed 5000 degrees Fahrenheit" and "applying water or foam may cause a violent flareup as the water molecules separate into explosive hydrogen and oxygen gases."

GM renegotiates Nikola deal, erases equity stake and EV pickup production plans

Quote:

General Motors is backing down from its blockbuster deal with EV startup Nikola. The $2 billion equity-stake deal announced in September, which would give Nikola access to GM’s manufacturing, Ultium battery, and Hydrotec technologies, will be significantly scaled back following renegotiations. Under the new terms of a non-binding agreement, GM’s previous 11-percent stake and role in producing Nikola’s EV pickup have been scrapped.

Mary Barra, IMHO, is a disaster. I haven't looked at their financials, but from a strategic perspective, she seems like she's making things worse instead of better.

The transformed GM needed a transformed logo. Looks pretty strange indeed...
