If there was any question EVs will never be more than a niche outlier in the automotive industry, here’s your proof. GM’s buying back $10b in stock with finances saved by scaling down future EV investment:

Meanwhile, Tesla delivered the first 10 Cybertrucks after showing a video of a Cybertruck beating a 911 in a 1/4 mile, while towing a 911. In fact, the towed 911 crossed the 1/4 ahead of the racing 911. On one hand, nothing about the Cybertruck appeals to me, but ya gotta admit that was quite the epic stunt.

They could do a number of things with the money they pull back from EV investment. Buying the stock back is a completely different decision path. They are buying it back because it’s undervalued. Corporate finance 101. If I had $10k for every time I can personally remember GM buying back stock I’d buy a C8.

"In that scenario buyers can buy the best vehicle for their needs."
FREEDOM!! We've reached common ground.

Common ground on a tilted playing field full of subsidies, unrealistic regulations, and carbon credits.

I’ve always said that people who live in multi-family dwellings with no access to a parking spot where they can reliably plug-in would be much better off with a hybrid. At least until the multi-dwelling charging is figured out. Ironically I was speaking with a company today who has a nice solution in place in Montreal. I’ve said dozens of times that by the time people can no longer buy a new ICE car, I will be contained in an ornate urn on one of my kids’ fireplace mantles. But, and I’ve said this many times, the options for purchase of new ICE will be very limited compared to offerings available today.
