Most people don't know how good tesla fsd v12 is. There is no competition. You did it Mary.

[@roxter299roxter7]

Mary is a politician. She doesn’t really know what she is doing. Her choices to partner with a couple of dubious electric vehicle startups shows this. The is more reactive than proactive.

Mary promise 25 EV models by november 2023. Where are they?

[@Carguytct]

and they will sell more EVs than Tesla by 2025.

[@SK-yb7bx]

Now now. She never said those would be GM EV models.

When GM replaced the LG made battery in my Bolt, they installed a larger battery at no cost. Tesla would have 'locked out' the extra range. Recently when GM cut the price of the Blazer EV, they refunded the difference to people who had already bought one. Ever hear of Tesla doing that?

Does GM have fsd. V12

[@CNT536]

You electrified the entire automotive industry. I'm serious. You led, and it matters.

[@power2me1]

The only questions that matter are; who will run GM next and when will that happen. Making excuses for Nikola, Bolt, Volt, missed goals, shrinking from 10 million to 6 million vehicles a year, non of that matters anymore. Who is next and when, this matters most.

Corvette Eray is a hybrid. Absolutely the wrong way to go. GM has thousands of suppliers of parts. Not a good way to beat Tesla. They need to own and control almost every part, so that they can easily send OTA updates without jumping through a million hoops. This would simplify and reduce manufacturing costs. Honestly, they need to build a new manufacturing plant so that they can build more like Tesla does, if not better. That's the only way they're going to have a chance of competing.

Mary Barra, prove EV through a 1929 Rolls Royce. I hadn't forgotten about you old friend. Go Sam Houston.

É preciso ficar atento as coisas políticas na América e no congresso nacional em Washington DC no ano que vem. Isso é triste muito triste

GM is at least 5 years behind Tesla in terms of its self driving tech. FSD 12.0 by Tesla is amazing! The $12,000 dollar cost to purchase FSD is bullshit ,though. Too damn expensive.

[@thetechniqueviking1053]

The staggering lack of durability and quality of my last 3 gm vehicles speaks volumes of Mary Barra and her “leadershit”

[@Harrythehun]

Why buy failing GM cars three times in a row? Don't blame Mary, blame yourself.

Mistake not continuing to build Bolt while transitioning to the new platform. So close to new U$25k ev. Oh, and Don't sell data to third parties - use it for GM benefit in long term. Mind you im just a member of the public and not a customer (yet?).

You're not a leader You gave painful to a lot of GM Korea employee

[@MrArtist7777]

I own a '12 Volt and it's still going strong with little battery degradation, even after charging it every day for the past 12 years and 120k miles. All-EV's are the only way forward but, really need solid-state batteries with higher capacity, faster charge times and higher charge cycles, which they can do.

[@Harrythehun]

Is the "solid state " the end goal or what? Far too many say when solid state comes everything will be great. Almost like nuclear power; if nuclear power is there everything will be fine.

[@jadehaan1]

Please. The range is limited. Unless you can recharge the battery in your garage each night, finding a recharging station on the open road is problematic. The range is reduced in cold weather and is reduced over time. Finally, after a number of years the battery that needs replacing is more expensive than the worth of the car. At that point, the resale value of your electric vehicle is $0.

[@darylmclain5181]

Time for pay cut for you and your co workers salary in the millions wtf stop and lower pay and lower cost on gm vehicles

Ms Barra needs to resign. She is a woke toady for the Democratic administration. She serves as a member of the General Motors Board of Directors. She has a fiduciary obligation to the shareholders of that company. Obviously, she has invented (within her own mind) an obligation to what she considers to be a large number of "stakeholders" in that General Motors company. She not only should be replaced; she should be held accountable for such terrible beliefs. Perhaps the day will come when corporate directors are punished for abandoning their true responsibilities (i.e. shareholders) and fiduciary duties. A clawback of their compensations and criminal charges for abandonment of their responsibilities might serve the shareholders interests best. This is more than allowing the government to shove electric cars down American peoples throats. This should be seen in light of what the General Motors company has become in the world Automobile market over the last few years.

I don't want an EV lady. Sorry

Dear Mary how about an 8-cylinder Duramax Diesel for 2024 and beyond? Make Diesels Great Again!

[@jed2049]

joke

[@mikewho9964]

She will "retire " in 2024 citing the need to spend more time with her family - GM will be broken up and sold off in parts and the rest my friend is history .....and so the sad pantomime goes on

[@JeffreyQJones]

I don’t agree with Mary as ceo or the bailouts that i paid taxes for…..

[@user-ee9ni1mw8u]

She is good in (fake) communication but is not a leader. She wants to be friends with everybody.
