GM's new battery news is exciting Great that they went outside the box in form factor, but the risk as always...will this become a commodity level form factor...AKA Beta vs VHS One of the why's ...

Hope Tusk's giga factories can be retooled quickly...and if he has a retrofit plan.
Tesla has been investing aggressively in battery tech and is expected to make some major announcements before the end of April. And this tech will probably be in production before the end of the year, if not already. I think GM is talking 4 to 5 years out. I hope that GM succeeds but I have given up on them after watching their stock do essentially nothing since they went public again.
Tesla won't be needing to do battery retrofits any more than GM has been updating engines in 5 year old cars, which is zilch.
Did you read anything? GM is talking next year.
Well, it would be nice to see. But they have some catching up to do. The Cadillac presentation was just pushed back, the disappointing Bolt makeover was a definite set back and Bolt sales are way off from expectations and they are having difficulty producing even 20,000 EV’s a year. I do think they are getting serious though. Good to see. Just not sure we’ll see lots of production in the next 3 or 4 years.
Jmho.
