Poor folks aren't going to be able to afford this! The whole idea of Ford! Everyone could afford one. Just saying.

[speederz]

So does it get 300 miles before having to be plugged in for 12 hours to recharge the 3000lb battery?
😂🤣😂🤣

Two years later and GM is moving all their production to New Mexico! Imagine that

Find and watch "Who killed the electric car".

GM promises the 3, 000 pound batteries will deliver performance.
Is that for real? The battery alone is 3, 000 pounds?

GM has always been in the Democrats pocket .. but this doesn't make sense -- electric vehicles have very few moving parts compared to normal vehicles.. GM thrives by building vehicles with poor engineering and short life span and therefore selling parts and more vehicles ... this seems like shooting yourself in the foot. ... Notice how many vehicles are on the freeway today and how many are at the gas station when you fill up ... now imagine all these cars are EVs when it takes 3 to 4+ hours to charge up an electric car ... how do you say gridlock and transportation shut-down ?

I find it quite funny seeing GM being so excited about this. The world's first EV super truck. I wonder if whoever came up with that plan has been promoted or fired. Given their expertise in manufacturing cars and how they dismissed another EV company, wouldn't it make sense to start with a smaller model (that doesn't catch fire)? Their senior management (as well as the TV pundits and WS analysts) are so incredibly far behind in understanding software and agile practices that I can't see them survive past 2025.

Pre-order reservations only cost $100 and is fully refundable. All you have to do to get a refund is to cancel before the time comes to finalize your delivery date, and that point is a long way off still. So it's no surprise reservations are full. They are not even binding. There is no non-refundable deposit required.

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young, ” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only, ” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership—and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world—is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

Tesla will have humanoids making cars by 2025.... plus lidar can't see in rain, snow and fog very they are not vertically integrated etc...glad to finally see the big 3 on board!

General motors is the most irresponsible car company on the planet they picked a Hummer that should tell you everything about general motors and their commitment to the environment

[marymary]

when you stop and think about it, if General Motors were serious about electric vehicles, they wouldn't be fooling around with silly-assed Hummers.

[NicMoreno]

Now if GM would build v echicles that are reliable than maybe they would have a chance....this is going to end up like the Chevy bolt

It's hilarious how Americans bragg about even the most ordinary achievements and simple things they do. They have nothing but a super powerful propaganda system.look at germans and Japanese;they do the most incredible engineering on earth(which US even can't dream of) and yet, they don't bragg about and don't talk about it.they just do their work
