General Motors
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- GM is actually the only one with a sliver of a chance of surviving 10 more years.
- Love my GM, would love one some day
- GM and Hyundai/Kia are the leading traditional car brand when it comes to software
- Only??? Have you seen GM? GM has more models available.
- At this point, I would still buy a Lucid, GM or even Ford EV product
Cons
- When consumers wanted diesels for fuel economy, GM came out with the Olds 850 which was one of the most unreliable engines ever produced.
- GM's "look over here, we are investing billions in V8s" while quietly still moving forward with their EV plans is a fascinating play to witness given the current political climate. What a game they are playing.
- Western carmakers lost. Even before EVs they lost. GM and Ford pulled back most of their global operations over a decade ago. They’ve never been very good at making cars that appeal to the rest of the world.
- GM could do A LOT BETTER if they would support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in their EVs. By refusing to include CarPlay and AA capability in their EVs, GM is likely chasing away about 30% of the market.
- The dealer and the EV concierge both did as much as they were able, so I feel GM did a good job with making things right... it just took way longer than I would have liked.

Guess it’s hard to comment on other CEOs and other companies (GM beat expectations lmao) when the CEO of your company is floundering publicly in every respect
