Default gM Plant Based Wire Insulation

gM uses plant-based wire insulation that is known for attracting rodents looking for a quick meal.

As of now this is NOT confirmed- but is quite entertaining none the less and reminds me of the "good ole GM":

Rumor has it that gM bought or is renting out several properties around the Fort Wayne, Indiana area to store newly produced Chevy and GMC trucks that could not be shipped due to the chip shortage. Apparently gM uses jump computers they can throw in these trucks to get them onto rail cars or transports so they can be stored at various locations, all outside, around the Fort Wayne area.

Insiders at the local truck plant now say they were told that as many as 30,000 of those trucks (that were being stored outside since the chip shortages hit) could have to be scrapped because of "severe rodent damage".

Rumor mill also says that whatever arrangement gM has with insurance or the government to cover these damages doesn't allow them to salvage any parts off of an affected vehicle - the entire vehicle must be scrapped, as-is
