Not sure ICE-swapping a BEV would cause crying and weeping but more like emptying your wallet and a lot of people laughing at the end result. |

I was following this build as it happened. Nothing funny about them at all. Some serious engineering went on. Great job and proof it can be done right.

Of course you're wrong, twice. I've driven a Tesla Performance. Here is the weeping and even death threats: https://youtu.be/x-6kHjF1U1E |

I'll bet it's a way faster car than I drive, too. I'm not sure how this equates to GM building a faster EV-platform SS or ZL1 than what is currently available in ICV form. |

GM, to it's credit, has not replaced a single vehicle with an EV. EVERY EV has been a plus model and a free choice for the customer. They are building Blazer AND Blazer EV at the same time, Silverado and Sierra same. Equinox as well. GMC Hummer? Plus model. Lyriq? Plus model. So no one is being force fed anything. Now down the road if and when GM goes 100% EV, maybe a different discussion. Just not today. But by then EVs will likely be far better in all regards, cost, range and charge time will be much improved and being anti EV at that point will be like being anti iPhone.
While this is true it is also true that the singlemindedness toward Ultrium under all meant not time or talent invested keeping the Camaro up to date. In fact, when GM tells my Chevy dealer a new Camaro is coming, it is likely more Mustang Mach E competitor than pony car. Even the electric Bolt was cancelled before the public criticism caused a reversal. Other than the big trucks, where is GM investing much effort in gasoline vehicles? |

Don’t fall for the marketing. It’s unlimited range as long as you keep it gassed up. It’s no more unlimited range than the Volt was. And the Volt had an EVrange of about 50 miles.

There are areas where the idea makes sense as an option, just not the only option. And I do feel like this is where most of the automotive world is failing the most.
