I am not sure how this works with the Silverado EV though as it’s not even due until next year at the earliest. That would be great if it was coming 3-4 months early! Overall though it’s great if they are able to move forward their plans this much.
Great news, GM needs to step on the accellarator to get back into a lead over Ford. What about Bolt, is production ever going to re-start?GM plans six-fold increase in 2022 electric truck, SUV production

GM plans six-fold increase in 2022 electric truck, SUV production -sources
General Motors Co plans to increase production of electric trucks and Cadillac sport utility vehicles this year by more than six times the previously planned output, according to information shared with suppliers.www.reuters.com
New details shared with suppliers indicate GM intends to increase production of its electric trucks and a new battery-powered Cadillac SUV to a total of 46,000 vehicles this year, up from a previous plan to build just 7,000 of those vehicles this year, according to information shared with suppliers.
GM told suppliers to its electric Hummer and Chevrolet Silverado trucks to plan for production of 21,000 of those vehicles this year at the automaker's Factory Zero in Detroit, up from the previous plan to build 3,800 vehicles.
GM told suppliers for its Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV to gear up for production of 25,000 of those vehicles this year, up from the previous 3,200 planned, sources said. Barra said last week demand was strong for the Lyriq.

Thats what I had heard....Bolt Production was supposed to restart sometime this month.
EV camaro? Why? I think that would be a huge waste of development dollars... Nobody wants a heavy, 2 door EV, you cannot see out of... (that loses races to Model 3- Y) If it was something ore like the Mach E it might have a chance, but if it's a coupe, its DOA after initial enthusiast interest.In other news: GM To Build New Crossover At Changwon Plant In South Korea
I am intrigued by this statement:
“Korea, a market of early adopters and very technology-focused people, presents many opportunities,” said GM Senior Vice President and GM International President, Steve Kiefer, in a statement. “We will introduce 10 new electric vehicles to this market by 2025, bringing EVs in every price point from entry-level vehicles to performance cars, rugged trucks, capable SUVs, crossovers, and luxury products that our customers know and love,” he added.
Especially "performance cars!"
The rumored EV Camaro?
I'm quite sure many of these 10 will also be sold here in the state side.
It's rumored to be a 4 door sedan.EV camaro? Why? I think that would be a huge waste of development dollars... Nobody wants a heavy, 2 door EV, you cannot see out of...

Why do you think it would lose a race to the Model 3? I see no reason they wouldn't come out with an awd camaro EV trim that could do sub 2.5s 0-60 all day long.EV camaro? Why?

Because I understand the engineering behind a 2.5 sec 0-60, and what GM is willing to do when it comes to C rate discharging their batteries, Ain't gonna happen my friend! Also Gm is "FAR" behind in building a lightweight EV chassis, which is what a Camaro EV would need to be. GM would lose a fortune trying to compete agains the Model 3 with a Coupe, hence why Ford went the way they did.Why do you think it would lose a race to the Model 3?

Waitlist for the edition 1? That will probably stay limited edition. You will just be able to get an 3x sooner.Where is my email stating I have moved off the waitlist?
There were rumors that they might build more E1s, so maybe it is wishful thinking on my part. At any rate my 3x will be optioned up to the E1 capability anyway.Waitlist for the edition 1? That will probably stay limited edition. You will just be able to get an 3x sooner.
I’m totally cool with this. Bring on my 3X!Waitlist for the edition 1? That will probably stay limited edition. You will just be able to get an 3x sooner.
Ya, I think later models will have more options, maybe not 2023, but by 2024.Hopefully we can get the "power bar" or whatever it's called that was supposed to released later maybe on the '23 models
