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

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...

I see this Video,( https://www.gmexhibitzero.com/exhibits.html ) as proof someone @ GM played with slotcars as a kid.

1969 GM

The "state of the art" show at the GM Technical Center -- called "Progress of Power" -- included 26 special vehicles which were exhibited or demonstrated, many for the first time. These had a variety of unconventional power plants, including turbine, steam, electric and hybrid systems along with experimental piston engines with reduced air pollutant characteristics.

Joe, I have had a solid interest in GM's return to electric primarily because one of my side research projects was lending a hand to unraveling the mystery of why no drivetrain 1967 Camaro pilot's were converted to electric.

For the most part I happily stayed in the background for this one but -- boy that turned into a research "rabbit hole" of epic proportions.

Like Echoes however it was a true story that had to be told, and the research had to be completed quickly before the remaining people who were involved were gone.
