The Enthusiast Behind General Motors - Driving With GM President Mark Reuss- (POV Interview)

[@itsjaden697]

Driving a Chevrolet vehicle with the General Motors president, while wearing a Ford Police Interceptor hat. 😂😂

[@TedwardDrives]

Haha this was not lost on me! But it’s the hat I always used 😆

[@itsjaden697]

​@@TedwardDrives Lol Great Video Tedward.

[@hectichive889]

Oh that’s hilarious, I wouldn’t have even noticed the hat if you hadn’t pointed that out 😆

[@dess8808]

Wouldn't expect anything less than that from a gentleman driver who makes one of the best automotive channels on KZbin :)))

[@BullittHilts]

Hahaha my son has the same hat - got from a family friend who’s an officer in NJ.

[@jacksongatens2419]

I love how the “safety feature” literally malfunctioned in the first 60 seconds lol

[@anabang1251]

Exactly, quite embarassing

[@glorentzen]

This happens in tons of cars if you have something on the seat

[@dylanmccallister1888]

@@glorentzen there was nothing on the seat though. It beeped because somebody did sit in that seat then got up to a different one. So it decided to go off with no weight there. Which means to me, every seat that is ever sat in since the car was turned on will think somebody is in it. Imagine giving people rides, they leave, now you have to buckle all their seats to shut the car up before you go. Thats a classic gm moment

[@sw2599]

Hilarious

[@HS-lt8eu]

“We did it with all the thing people want in a pick up truck”. How about a direct, visible, and consistently repeatable way to make sure the car is either ON or Off??

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

I could never wear that contraption on my head and try and have a serious conversation with someone, congrats to you on being able to do that.

[@landonscott16]

I love looking at your face and seeing how nervous you are when he's talking 😂

[@TedwardDrives]

Remember questions. Don't crash car. Listen to answers. Play off of those answers. No dead space. DONT CRASH CAR!

[@memorimusic420]

​​​@@TedwardDrives remember... DONT CRASH CAR 😂😂😂😂

[@boots_n_coots]

@@TedwardDrives Hey wait a minute… didn’t Reuss put a z06 into the wall at Detroit a few years ago? Very embarrassing… so glad you didn’t bring THAT up…

[@optimoose3063]

What a cool opportunity - you've come such a long way Tedward! Really excited to watch

[@StevesWorkshop]

Man, I'm really proud of you, yes we can see, that you're nervous, but this is an amazing interview.

[@TedwardDrives]

Honestly I’m always like this 😆

[@Triptisim]

Huge props to you for an incredibly well done interview (exceptionally rare nowadays)- even while driving! The conversational flow and pace of working in your questions was great. Also goes to show that from enthusiast to enthusiast no matter where you’re at in the industry, we all “get” it about cars.

[@TedwardDrives]

Thank you so much!

[@williamlong2682]

Fun fact - my vehicle dynamics professor in college was a career GM engineer before he started teaching! Reminding me a lot of his class in this video!

[@MrCarGuy]

An undergrad math professor I had was an engineer in the Geo division lol

[@mattkroening7964]

You can tell that even Mr. Reuss was a bit stoic at first, perhaps unsure of what direction the chat would go. It didnt take long for him to become engaged and really start to enjoy the conversation! Job well done on this one. I realized that it's kind of his job, but it's cool to see a president that's so in touch with not only regular people, but car enthusiasts as well. Not too many executives can stay this grounded!

[@nicholasvella4412]

So much respect and great points between you too! Its so refreshing how well you put these videos together Tedward.

[@TedwardDrives]

Thank you!!

This was awesome. Seems like a genuine conversation between two car guys that didn't turn into commercial for GM. Well done (as usual)!

[@kelviskelvis7140]

Excellent interview with Mark Reuss. His dad was expanding capabilities with turbos and there Mark is expanding capabilities with EV's. Your point of GM turning of their vehicles was spot on.

[@zachspeck9030]

I would like to see more content like this! I trust and agree with many of your opinions so an automotive journalist version of Tedward is quite awesome. Congrats on the big interview!

[@boots_n_coots]

Holy crap, you kidnapped Reuss! How much can we get from the GM board to give him back? 😂 (Seriously; excellent interview,thank you.)

[@cCucco]

So proud of you for being a positon where you had this opportunity! Great interview! Keep it up!

Thank you!!

Awesome interview. Thxs for sharing and being on top of your game, man

[@dave4486267]

As a former co-worker of yours in the Attleboro area, that was a fantastic interview/drive

[@TedwardDrives]

Thank you!! I hope you're doing well. I have fond memories of the people in that office. You guys kept me sane haha

[@corvettenyc72op21]

Great interview, smooth driving! Good job

[@marial8235]

Tedward: Amazing job. You are the man🏆. Not only interviewing, but driving smoothly. If that was me I would have been nervous and crashed that big tank within three minutes.😂😂😂😂😂

[@TedwardDrives]

Thank you!!

[@acalthu]

Excellent interview man. Always learn something new when listening to the perspective or the manufacturer.

[@RyanRoadReaper]

You can tell he knows all about GM's dark times with the way he got a little squirrely when you brought up the Cavaliers and Sunfires 😅

[@sirtobigoodboy]

Looking forward to Tedward's interview with Carlos Ghosn in a 2009 Nissan GTR next week!

[@katiecannon8186]

The Chevy Bolt was great. That’s the way to go: Smaller & more efficient. Americans really need to try to remember how much more friendly smaller vehicles are.

[@ryanpatterson9526]

You nailed it man. That was a high pressure situation!

[@restingfishface]

I work for a competitor so I can't sing TOO much praise bur Mark seems like a genuinely down to earth guy, exactly the kind of person you want running a car company. Not just a bean counter wanting to slap together cars to maximize shareholder value. Very cool of him to sit down with you and share some seat time in the future of the brand. Maybe one of these days I'll see you on here driving around my bossman 😂

[@mydsmber05]

His Dad was the head of Buick when they were making T-Type and Grand National versions of all their cars and slapping turbos on everything in the 80’s. The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

[@navarredr]

This was an excellent, candid interview. Ty & well done!

[@djsone3499]

I'm glad you asked the Pontiac question. I would have asked if Smokey and the Bandit were to be remade in 2026, what car would Bo drive?

[@josephTsnyder]

Tedward, you’re a great interviewer. I admire your confidence and ability to make good conversation. Awesome job

[@SloC6]

Crazy collab

[@slocarfr]

hi tedward! wow! did not expect mark with you!

[@ditiprel4]

Gm definetly has some cool designs. They have always been a quirky brand. So cool you got to meet him man!

[@odlyentertaining]

I remember Mark unveiling the C7 corvette and the way he acted you could tell how much of a passion he really has.

[@djplonghead5403]

The best employee or boss is the one that enjoys their job. I hope GM keeps going up and not down. They are doing great things.

Awesome interview! (I’m surprised you didn’t drive the Blazer EV, too, though.) Did anyone do a double-take at an intersection recognizing Mark?

[@ShaiyanHossain]

That's actually pretty incredible you got to do a POV with an automotible company CEO! Mark seems like a nice guy as well

[@zaneprice6560]

[@elijah6439]

Hey Tedward! Excuse me if I’m foolish to think your first name was “Ted” by your handle, but is it actually Tom? When Mark said “Tom” it just made me curious about how you got your name.

[@TedwardDrives]

Tom Edward -> T. Edward

[@berthogendoorn2133]

This truck just rocks, I need another EV but one that can tow an RV and do it well, we had a person on BC's Sunshine Coast that bought the W4 trim and used it to tow his RV and it was fantastic was his experience. The trucks regen capacity is the best in class so going over those high mountain passes in BC and Alberta you regain 80% of your energy it took to go up the grade. Why would I buy a Tesla Model X for the same price I can buy the Silverado RST EV and the icing on the cake I do not need to bring my noisy generator to my Provincial Camp ground. I can camp & drive wisper quiet, Koodoos to you Mark for such an excellent product. Our Sunshine GM has one on order and as soon as it comes in it's off to the dealer to quite possibly buy my 5th EV. yes since my 2019 Kai Soul EV, to our Current 2020 Kia Soul EV and Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD, I would never go back to ICE.

[@janp7882]

Day 10 of asking Tedward to drive the S60R (no hate on electric vehicles, just at least for me the 5cylinder sound remains unmatched)

Hope he drops the price of all the GM EV some more, he said they are artificially high, so lets bring hem down.

[@erwinc.9117]

There was a dark time for GM when they made boring vehicles and killed off the "fun" brands like Saab and Pontiac (though to be fair, the 08 economic crisis certainly didn't help). However my opinion on GM has been slowly turning around. The Buick Envista was a genuine attempt to turn a declining brand around and the strategy to focus on tech and comfort at affordable pricing definitely caught people's attention. I'm always going to be skeptical of big corpo but it seems like GM has realised that delivering fun and competitive products helps them as much as it helps consumers.

[@philliprosado2043]

The lady in the back seat....

[@blindfoldedmissile]

Incredible

[@jtland4842]

I don't like that the back seat has so much more room than necessary since it primarily just makes the truck longer than it needs to be which makes it less useable. I just want small trucks to make a comeback

[@exxusdrugstore300]

They are making small trucks again. Ford and Hyundai are the trailblazers (no pun intended), but it looks like everyone else is planning their competitors.

[@mynt253]

I didn't hear any mention of them spying on customers to sell their data to data brokers who sell it insurance companies. Is this part of "The Future of General Motors"?

[@MrCarGuy]

He should be focusing on EV efficiency because they aren't competitive in that regard right now

[@angelo1475]

For me to buy that truck, I want an on board generator, so I could drive anywhere as long as I have gas, like a volt. I'd gladly take an on board 4 cylinder generator over a frunk.

Walking in America is pretty difficult outside of specific major cities and good luck traveling between them without a trip to the airport. But it all seriousness you highlight the point that our car dependency for basic daily tasks is pretty awful. We drive to outdoor shopping Malls to simulate what it might be light to walk around pedestrian accessible city lol
