"Maybe this has been discussed and thought through."

Not likely.

Current and future additional delays in the gM EV roll out likely involve the messy gM partnership with battery material supplier GLENCORE.

Details of Glencore's corrupt activities emerged literally YEARS before GM signed a multiyear deal last April to source metal for batteries that will be used in the upcoming Chevy Silverado and other EVs but gM still did the deal anyway-- however GLENCORE is still having difficulty emerging from the larger worldwide corruption scandal.

In everyday language:
"Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future because you become who you willingly do business with".

A tentacle of the GLENMORE bribery and corruption probe caught Brian So (also known as Hyoung Nam So), then the the manager of gM’s Global Purchasing and Supply Chain organization who took $3.45 million in cash bribes from a supplier.

Mr. SO surrendered to authorities on March 24 after a federal grand jury charged him with bribery conspiracy and was terminated from employment by gM on April 1st 2022.

According to gM: “General Motors does not tolerate or condone corruption or bribery of any kind, the illegal conduct alleged is entirely inconsistent with our code of conduct and corporate policies"

Yet AFTER GLENMORE was caught red handed and plead guilty-- they (gM) did a major deal with them for the cobalt they needed for the new Ulitium battery platform... I SEE a contradiction here, a moral and ethical one at that.
