Keep this going !!!
Waiting for this to clock 1,001 posts and to see how long fanboys/gals will wait...as long as Tusk sprinkles a tidbit on the internet
For me, also indicative of the fanboys/girls within American regulatory agencies and how they've looked the other way

Hahahahaha......BOOM!!!!
Don't you love those idiots? I bet his Tesla would have still fetched a good price even if it's battery is shot. But what do I know about the fools and their money?
Reminded me of those similar brain-dead down South who burned all their Nike's because of the brand's association with Kaepernick with his kneeling protest.
But here's a better story. A woman, newly widowed, put out an ad to dispose off her husband's Land Rover, disclosing it's need a $4,000 gear repairs, in exchange for a no-cash out decent Japanese entry level car or a sub-compact.
Turns out the Land Rover still have some really collector's (I suspect, a Defender) value. The good gentlemen had it repaired and sold it. Then he went back to the widow to split his profit with her.
I hope this Tesla burning dude is not your role model. BOOM!

Quote:Mary Barra On Taking on Tesla as the Leading Seller of Electric Vehicles
The veteran auto executive and incoming head of the Business Roundtable Mary Barra discusses her company’s road map for taking on Tesla as the leading seller of electric vehicles — and the urgency behind the industry’s technological transformation.
New York Times Online Summit
This is about EVs not pickup trucks. Look at the comments from people.

Van - I hope you do not get all your information from youtube where individuals can use sound bites to make anything. I only watched a few seconds to see that this was definitely a biased presentation, and the sound bite was "not cede our leadership". If you find a reputable source, I believe that she had indicated that GM was leader in pickup sales and was not planning to "cede our leadership".
Are you trying to save your stock?
And yes, if you add all the GM pickups, GM did outsell all other OEMS.

Why isnt Marry Barra investigated by SEC for lying to shareholders by claiming GM to be number one in EV production?
Where and when did Mary publicly announce - interview, press conference, twitter, facebook, etc - that GM is the number one in EV production?
You are living up to your name. Please provide evidence.
Remember - GM did deliver EV pickups and EV full size vans in the US last year (2021). GM never promised a semi. GM did deliver a pickup. Where is the **** truck?
Is Mary Barra CLINICALLY INSANE or is GM really global EV leader?

Twentyish years ago there was lots of similar screeching and wailing about the potential cost of replacing a battery in a hybrid vehicle. At the time "no one in their right mind" would by a Prius since the battery would only last 50,000 miles and Toyota would charge upwards of $7000 to replace it. As it turns out, hybrid batteries often last 200,000 miles or more and the aftermarket has lessened the cost of replacement, around $2K.
Electric vehicles are no different. There will be isolated cases of batteries failing, of course, and along with those there will be instances of unlucky owners having to shell out thousands for out of pocket repairs. Not much different than those unlucky early 6.7 Ford diesel owners who have had injector pumps fail, or 6.4 owners who have had turbo failures, the list goes on.
