GM Announced Earnings Blowout, Ultium Battery Factory Ahead of Schedule

I heard about this yesterday, such amazing news coming out of times like these! Who saw it coming? I can't believe how well GM has done during this pandemic, both in sales and product development.

Also, as a side note, I made a trip about 40 minutes down to the Ultium plant about a week ago, and I was blown away not only by the size of the plant, but by how far along it was. They've done an insane amount of work in the last month and a half alone!

Awesome, did you take some pictures? How are they doing on the steel work? I heard they want to have it dried in by mid December, does that look like a possibility?

Unfortunately no, I had to view it from across the street, and the main building is placed so far back that I decided it wasn't worth it. Right off of OH-45. And I was stunned by how much of the frame of the factory was up, it seemed like almost all walls were up and most of them were secured. The roof beams were also on most, from what I could see. I'd say a dry-in by December is absolutely possible, just based on how far they've come the last month and a half alone.
