Maybe that is hyperbole, but even one sentence is too much, especially for an unveiling event. Even the ones with vehicles directly aiming at Tesla do not make such comments during their events (for example the Audi Q6 e-tron and the Porsche Mission E makes no comments about Tesla). GM did the same jab at Tesla for the Bolt concept unveiling (talking about cars "not for elites"). I hope this is not going to be a long-running corporate theme for this car.Calling a couple of sentences in a long speech "All they can do is try to attack Tesla" is what I call overreacting.
To bring things back on topic, I'm more interested on if this car can support (or be updated to support) the 150kW charging standard pushed by VW and Ford. At the very least supporting the 90/100kW CCS should be minimum. The charge times quoted for 1 hour to 80% is suggesting 50kW, which would be disappointing. It'll be a deal-breaker for me if 50kW is the max it supports (since even if the CCS network is updated to support 90/100kW, the car won't support it, which makes a SF to LA trip unviable for me even if stations were installed).
We also don't know the battery capacity yet. Such an estimate should give a good expectation for the EPA range rating.
