Only about 800 trucks were impacted by the battery issue, all new production has the new pack design.It's May. I get that they want to get this right, and not have to bring Production down again, but this is a mess.
Why are they building the trucks (I see them going up I75 to Flint) if they're not sellable. If this truly is a hardware problem, continuing to produce and gate doesn't make sense. You should shut production down completely, and only restart production and deliveries once everything is fixed.
You seem to be referencing GM Authority numbers... I don't trust them.How many trucks did they build and then sat in Flint that now have to be retrofitted? Subtracting the publicly available production numbers against actual reported deliveries, it's got to be three or four thousand. I can't imagine more than a thousand (the most recent February or March builds) that got the revision bump update that includes the fix. You still have September -> November inventory (didn't they build close to 2 or 3K trucks in November before shutting production down?) that needs to be retrofitted.
Likely some other Full sized Trucks.Factory ZERO will assemble multiple Ultium-based vehicles, including the fully autonomous Cruise Origin purpose-built for driverless ride hail and delivery, the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV, the Chevrolet Silverado EV and the GMC electric Sierra Denali.
Factory ZERO will also assemble Ultium battery cells into modules and packs for a variety of vehicle designs.
Remember when certain members of the forum told you that sales is not production?Remember when there were certain members on this forum crowing how I was wrong, and that GM was going to really scale up EV production this year? We're almost at the half way point of the year and they've sold less than 5000 Ultium vehicles
You keep saying production is idled but it has not been.Bump - another month, another nothing burger. I wonder if they'll beat the two Hummer EVs they sold last quarter.
This is pathetic. Mass production has been idled since Thanksgiving of last year.
the one thing that has been 100% idled because GM can’t lie about it without having consequences - selling two Hummer EVs last quarterYou keep saying production is idled but it has not been.
Because of the recall and the delivery hold... wow...the one thing that has been 100% idled because GM can’t lie about it without having consequences - selling two Hummer EVs last quarter
100 year + old automaker with a six month vehicle stop sale is unprecedented in their non-EV offerings. Bolt wasn’t on sale for…around six months, but Bolt scope/complexity is far below Ultium. Apparently none of the Bolt EV recall learning / experience has transferred over to rectifying the Hummer EV stituation.Because of the recall and the delivery hold... wow...
While none of us can begin to grasp the complexity of the turn to ev throughout the industry, along with the risk to market price and reputation that is on the line. This shit has gotten quite ridiculous, I still will be impressed if my ED1 truck ever shows up. Luckily I do not really care if I get it anymore, I will be very excited if I get it, but I can’t disagree this has gotten out of hand.100 year + old automaker with a six month vehicle stop sale is unprecedented in their non-EV offerings.

I’d be surprised if GM didn’t feel at least some relief that they didn’t have to build anywhere near the 90k reserved Hummers on their list from cancelled reservations considering how hard it’s has been to build the 1200 Edition 1s and how many other “normal” volume EV trucks their limited parts supply can sustain at the moment.It's a complete joke how GM handled the roll out of their flagship EV. I believe there is something more than just the battery recall at this point. The complete lack of updates is appalling. At this point i think a lot of people have lost interest, myself included.
