Cringey GM Commercial

[Palumboism]

This commercial is going to air during the super bowl.  Apparently GM is calling themselves evil because they make gas powered cars, but now they're no longer evil because they're going all electric. 

This is the same company the federal government bailed out during the Obama administration.  It's nice to see they're wisely spending their money on super bowl commercials in preparation for the next tax payer bailout.

Got to appeal to the woke mobs.

I'm glad to see GM is saving the world with a 9000 pound HUMMER with 1000 hp.  I miss the GM of the 1960's and 1970's where every car they made is considered a classic today. 

I actually thing the EV Hummer and Silverado are great vehicles and I understand GM is trying to protect the profit they make from their CASH COWS, but going to this length to appeal to people who have no desire to buy their vehicles is sad.

They don't care about the woke mobs they care about woke Blackrock who tell them what to do

I’m never buying an electric car, they’re actually worse for the environment.

[The Scott]

That was really stupid.

I would think so, what is done with all those used batteries, landfill.

They’re dumb as hell. California already requesting owners of electrical vehicles to charge wisely to reduce pressure on the power grid. Lol

This is going to be one big clusterfuck.

And the raw materials all come from somewhere plus oil is still used to make all the components the plastic, everything. Then to top it off the energy to power it will still come from fossil fuels. They should be researching hydrogen or nuclear powered vehicles instead.

Fuck them. V8 gas for me till I die.

The V8 engine is what made GM great.

I like the technology. Should be a better vehicle with fewer moving parts to mess up. I won't buy one until the charging infrastructure is more built up. I don't know and don't care if it's better for the environment 

[pamith]

Brutal if true

There's a guy in Germany who put a million miles on his model S.  He replaced the battery once and three electric motors and that's it.  Most people just don't understand how long these vehicles will last and why electric is such a game changer.  It radically simplifies cars both from a manufacturing point of view and a maintenance point of view. 

In addition, the simple design allows companies to radically rethink the packaging of the car resulting in cars which are huge inside and small outside.

How is charging a car via a coal fired plant going to save the planet?

First time I have ever agreed with you. You must have been hacked, lol

[TheFranchise]

Lol at anyone supporting EV’s and thinking they will be able to do repairs/service their own electrical vehicle. Especially doing repairs that are cheaper.

Typical retarded getbiggers.

In the future you’ll be taxed for driving a fossil fuel powered engine. You’ll have to pay a carbon tax, gas tax, extra registration costs etc. Government will make it non economical to drive one.


Like they tried to do with guns but we working their way around eventually.

my electricity is 56% nuclear, the ideal power source 

you are correct though, there is little advantage to powering your car from coal or natural gas as is common in the West

Go take an airborne intercourse.

I hadn't considered that, but it makes sense.  I'm in CA, where progressive lawmakers come up with some of the most absurd laws, rules, and regulations.

I know.

No simple solution to global warming or non renewable resources.

We'll be back to horse (non farting) and buggy. I love this PROGRESSIVE society that goes backwards.
