Instead of fannying around with this stuff why don't GM concentrate on building more cars

Exactly. They already have the demand. If they would just make more BEVs... they would sell. No need for Netflix
Someday, after a few violent head-on collisions have happened between Tesla's and various other brands of cars, the press might still whitewash the massive life/death safety disparity between brands, but the neither the national safety institutes nor the insurance companies will be able to remain silent.This is what happens when you don't have a structural battery:
Battery pack ejected from Audi e-tron during crash in Richmond, BC
A violent high-speed crash in Richmond, British Columbia between an Audi e-tron and a Toyota sedan resulted in the battery pack of the e-tron being ejected from the vehicle. The force of the collision sent […]driveteslacanada.ca
However, the most interesting thing about this story is the mainstream media's coverage of it as noted by DriveTeslaCanada:
Because they don't care about building cars, only marketing cars.
Most Teslas especially my S don’t fit all those tiny roads
It sometimes is necessary to dispute my own position. The photo is of me driving a Model X through an ancient arch in Bergamo Citta Alta. It can be done, although it would be generally insane to do it regularly. FWIW my hotel with Tesla Destination chargers was inside those walls in a mediaeval cavern turned car park.
Have to pay the extortion, or bad press.
I would rather have GM focused on promotion than actually building the car.
Anyone who plays Call of Duty Warzone 2 or DMZ knows the EV Hummer is by far the best vehicle in the game.
And it even fuels up in the in-game gas stations (no joke).
This is a win win for everyone. Tesla does its best by making real BEV and GM does best by making virtual BEV.

We had a crash here in Germany, where the battery pack of the E-Tron was ejected in the same way-
guess the NHTSA has got to do some deep dive. Smells like the fastening mechanism is under dimensioned.
Audi e-tron fängt nach Unfall Feuer | Löschung der Akku-Einheit gestaltet sich problematisch
Glück im Unglück hatte der Fahrer eines Audi e-tron nach einem schweren Verkehrsunfall im Unterallgäu. Gegen 21.20 Uhr befuhr ein Mann mit seinem Werksfahrzeug die MN12 zwischen Zollhaus und Türkheim Bahnhof. In einer leichten Kurve verlor der Fahrer aus noch ungeklärter Ursache die Kontrolle...

So we are almost at the same place as the beginning of December. What we went down in December we went up in January (more or less)
Thought I'd note that NAF (Norwegian AAA) has redone their biyearly range test for EVs. They do this twice a year one for winter and one for summer. They drive all the cars in a long line on a set route of normal highway driving until the car stops. At the longer ranges they start a fairly serious mountain climb so the first 250km is the easiest part of the route. They include every new car in the market in Norway the last year and some they might want to retest because they might have upgrades or some kind of "newness". I believe the article is not behind a paywall and you can find it here. The old range champion was Model 3 LR. Now it's Model S LR. Generally temperatures -5 to -10C but the Model S experienced down to -19C at the end.
The wierd heading: "500 km: forbruk-batteri-km igjen"is repeated for every 50km checkpoint and is consumption in kW /100km, battery percentage remaining and km range left as reported by the car.

Hmm. At the current rate of production, it’s possible all of GM’s 1st half 2023 production ends up as movie props rather than in customer hands.
Such a party pooper.
Except this time I’m much better prepared for TSLA to run to $1T+ than I was the last time; thanks in large part to “not financial advice” I’ve encountered on this very message board.
Cheers to the longs indeed!
Yes.
But back then, they claimed that the downfall was due to certain purchase.
Interesting that in 2 months, all of that narrative has pretty much dissapeared.

Allegedly lots of 4680 Model Y available now in USA (or part of it)
"Jesus, Tesla just added a shitload of sub $55K Model Y to LA SF and NY..."
Edit: I'm not sure if this number is unusual, or a misunderstanding.
