GM had a beloved EV in the 90s….and killed it.

[mikestoolfun]

Biden claimed GM was leading the EV market. 😂

[MarcioSouza]

She met expectations because they were very low.

[markindy]

GM is not a tech company, not an AI company, and not innovating. They had the opportunity to change the world but didn’t have the vision. Say hello to Sears.

[bobbarker]

This the same GM that’s ditching Apple CarPlay and android auto for their own proprietary software that’s gonna age horribly and no one will want to own?

[MrUncleBob]

Tesla stock is up because Americans want a better innovative future. We don't want horse and buggy GM.

[SophSoundsENT]

Bara has done very little if anything. Any placeholder ceo would’ve yielded the same result.

[TheMazi]

Legacy automakers are failing miserably.

Shouldn't have killed the Volt, that thing is insane. 2011 drivetrain

Look at Teslas growth and balance sheet and then look at GM and you will see why the stock prices are what they are. Tesla will make more money in Mega packs alone by 2030 then the entire revenue from GM two very different companies one a failing automotive company the other one of if not the most innovative company on the planet.

And now Chinese EVs will eat their lunch globally.

Drop price 30k and I’ll buy a GM zero fks

While Tesla is over valued, what they have been able to do is a much better job at cutting their cost of production and increasing their efficiency. They are largely able to deliver better cars at lower costs with better margins than GM. GM needs to change their status quo when it comes to vertical integration, ability to use more generic materials (especially chips) etc. if they really want to see dramatic improvements they need dramatic change and not just incremental.

She has made so many promises and failed on every one of them.
The only thing that shocks me is why is she still in her job

Legacy companies can't pivot quickly bc of corporate politics. For GM to compete they may need a new board and CEO.

[DavidMcCalister]

Tesla also has a growing energy segment, and robots, and are getting closer and closer to self driving cars.. and have the best technology for EV's and the infrastructure/leverage to get things out.... GM pretended to go EV with a fraud (Nikola) and has a large problem of their cars catching on fire....

[prabhalasasank]

Where are they dumping these chemically made batteries!? Any idea how much more pollution that these causes than a normal car?

[REC]

stocks = estimated future valuation
GM estimated future valuation is something like a 💩
You should worry about your future decision instead of Tesla valuation stocks

I'm praying for your wealth... health and strength 💪🥷🇺🇲
