gm (lower case because that's how they do it know) does not even have a production ready prototype of the Hummer vehicles the last I had researched it. The Hummer commercials during the Super Bowl were mostly CGI. Currently, the Hummer is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme. With the current problems gm has with gas engines that they have been building for over 110 years, and problems with automatic transmissions they have been building for over 80 years, I doubt the Hummer ever sees production. Mary Barra was dumping gm stock the other day, so I would say something is on the horizon for gm, and it's probably not good.
gm is an also ran in the true EV market, their track record is not good. gm has moved less than 27K Bolts since 2017. gm only moved about 200K Volts globally in 9 years of production. Contrast those figures with Tesla, who sold just shy of 500K cars in 2020 alone. And let's not forget, gm was 3 years late to market with the Volt.
The other issue I see for gm trying to compete in the EV market is lack of charisma in their CEO. EVs are marketed to millennials and the generations that follow. gm, and Ford, have stodgy, old guard CEOs. The public is largely unaware of who runs GM, Ford, or Chrysler. Elon Musk is the PT Barnum of this generation, every one knows his name and what he does. That is shown in their Twit following, Mary Barra has has 56K followers, Elon Musk has almost 52 MILLION followers.
I'm not against EVs, I think they have a place for a certain driving demographic. Heck, an EV makes sense for the driving I personally do, but the price of one does not. To say all our cars will go EV is preposterous. EV success will be in companies with leaders involved with the product and that are innovative. gm has not been innovative in a long time.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
