No more GM diesels?!
GM goes 100% electric And Ford has made similar announcements. Is this the end of pickups? I haven't seen a glimmer of a electric p/u with 500 mile range and 3500 pound carry capacity have you?

speculate the dealers salespersons direct people away from electric as it takes too long to educate the customer. Much quicker to close a deal on a petrol vehicle and move to the next customer. Sales people probably do not really understand EVs unless they own one.

What hogwash. People understand electrics right now. They are expensive. They have very limited range. And who knows how long that battery will last and how much a replacement will cost. Recharging that battery makes traveling cross country a real trial with long waits for the battery to charge assuming you can find a recharging station. And finally having one means going without air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter.
And this feeds in directly confirming my statement. We could spend half a day getting you up to speed with reality or just have you in a petrol vehicle in 30 minutes.
Tesla showrooms will not have this issue, just the legacy automakers that sell both.
