Interview with Mary Barra

Yea I hear you. GM needed to move on this quickly or the bolt could be the next Cobalt style scandal - except bigger.

A car that you cannot be sure you can safely park in your garage at home is shall we say a "game changer"

Imagine being told you are not permitted by businesses to park next to a structure or in a parking garage, or you pull into a hotel and they make you move it out into a field someplace?

"...Putting out different kinds of fires requires different strategies, and a burning gas tank is not the same as burning lithium-ion battery cell pouches. The USFA says EV fires "can exceed 5000 degrees Fahrenheit" and "applying water or foam may cause a violent flareup as the water molecules separate into explosive hydrogen and oxygen gases."

GM renegotiates Nikola deal, erases equity stake and EV pickup production plans

General Motors is backing down from its blockbuster deal with EV startup Nikola. The $2 billion equity-stake deal announced in September, which would give Nikola access to GM’s manufacturing, Ultium battery, and Hydrotec technologies, will be significantly scaled back following renegotiations. Under the new terms of a non-binding agreement, GM’s previous 11-percent stake and role in producing Nikola’s EV pickup have been scrapped.

Mary Barra, IMHO, is a disaster. I haven't looked at their financials, but from a strategic perspective, she seems like she's making things worse instead of better.

The transformed GM needed a transformed logo. Looks pretty strange indeed...
