Chevrolet Cobalt.

GM, at least in the Mid Atlantic region, purchased a TV ad that runs and equates to short b-roll of the truck with large bold yellow letters: $8,XXX OFF.

You can't control the narrative, yet like most corporations GM's first response is to bring in crisis communications experts and the like. In the mean time Barra sits before two panels of Congress and looks completely clueless.

This hearing should have been called: "We will know more after the investigation."

Pretty sure all the cars that were struck came w/ the $2,500 Tesla self-adjusting ride height feature. Basically, if I understand this right, they aren't going to rise the height of the car, but rather not let it drop as far.

No. Please educate me. I'm rather ignorant on the topic of ROI of state subsidies.

As a proud native Texan myself, I'd love to see the Gigafactory come to my home state. Lots of tech jobs and potential millions in tax revenue? Heck yeah. It would be a great get for sure.

More importantly this is the only van that is complaint with the federal government's BUY AMERICA act which means Chrysler's waiver for the Grand Caravan will remain canceled, maybe, if this company actually builds things.

I'm talking about fault and liability from a wrongful death standpoint. I'm not advocating that non deployment in a situation that was deemed deployment expected is good, right or not a concern. These are two different, yet similar, discussions.

OK. No more arguing. You win. All safety devices are to blame regardless of operator use. Slamming a car into a wall at 95MPH is not your fault. It's the car's fault for not keeping the engine out of your lap. Got it.

DC roads are bad, the thing is most people included in the "DC area" label don't live in DC. Hell, many of the people who LIVE in DC don't drive or rarely drive.

If I drive my car 95mph into a brick wall and die, not because of a lack of airbag, but because I was crushed by the engine landing in my lap, yet my airbag did not deploy - should GM be to blame? The airbag wouldn't have saved my life.

Their claim is that an examination of the government data on airbag failures shows that 303 deaths in recalled Saturn Ions and Chevy Cobalts happened in cars that had non-rear crashes where the airbag didn't deploy.

You raise a good point not to mention you'll reach viewers in locations where they can't have those things. It would be like Audi running S4 Avant ads here in America.

Was the car turned on?

Yes. There are plenty of videos of people 3D printing various food items.

I'm the problem. Once again.

COSMOS, brought to you by Tesla Motors. Now there is an ad tie in that the brand completely missed.

If they got rid of it, how am I watching it?

Nice video. Maybe I should make one that doesn't encourage children to drive their parent's $100K car through a garage and into the neighbors front yard.
