Smell that delicious, delicious lobby money from the Auto dealers. Michigan is going to skull fuck itself out of future automotive investment if it plays hardball here and will deserve every bit of the backlash it gets.
I agree with you that she needs to do what’s best for GM - that’s certainly her job. And attempting to work with the Trump administration on that council was a good move, at least at the time.
You’re entire counter-argument is a bunch of strawmen and false equivalence hypotheticals
“not wanting two standards for emissions in one of your largest markets”
“I don’t know the intricacies of labor law in South Korea, but if I were GM I would just accede to the demands, GM makes billions of dollars a year, who really cares.”

I don’t think you understand what you’re arguing about and you just have a rage boner for electric cars OR wants to feel smart by being contrarian.
This is still a bad argument...
I did verify - https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/california-electricity-data/2019-total-system-electric-generation
Nuclear is 8.06%
Hydroelectric is 16.53%
Neither of those are considered “renewable” which is why I said non-fossil fuel.
California’s renewables include biomass at 2.92%, geothermal at…
The only person asserting it is the magic glitter pony of the transpo world is you. I brlive the kids call that a strawman. Everyone else is saying it’s developed into a nice alternativefor many people that will only get better over time.
Oh, I think Tesla gets pilloried around here for selling good enough. Also GM has been making cars for how long?
Seawater isn't an energy source
Don’t forget that time there was an accident at one of the Hydrogen depots in the Bay Area and most of the Mirais became impractical to use for several months.
If the ditched the hydrogen crap, loaded up the batteries to give this at least 300 miles of range, fast changing capability and then branded it as a Lexus, they would then have a winner
Does any automaker “have their heart” into selling low-margin cars when they have a line around the block with people ready to purchase well-optioned ones? Jalopnik whining about Tesla, once again.
Tesla never had its heart in the $35k Model 3 the same way BMW never had its heart in the $40k 3 Series, and Cadillac doesn’t really give a shit about selling any $33k CT4's...It’s the same game they’ve all been playing for decades.
Honestly, this whole debate is dumb.
Yeah, it’s worth noting that the upgrades to the trunk, glass, heat pump (not to mention the recent free range increase) really just make the normal $38k model that much better of a deal. Not terribly surprising that they are getting rid of the $35k off-menu model for a while until they sell enough of the…
I hate this ad viscerally.
