Aligning with the likes of Tesla is not how General Motors operates. They know that the transition to electric vehicles is slow, but they also know that automakers that look to Tesla for guidance are going to end up suffering financially. GM has a different kind of guidance, and it is profit. GM is refining the old-school methods of using the profit made from ICE vehicles to fund the development of more scalable EV solutions. The sustained and agile transition they are going through is not seamless, but it is one of the largest transitions any automaker has undergone, and it is being funded by profitable vehicles. Unlike most legacy automakers, (including Ford, Rivian, and some Chinese EV manufacturers) GM will not be forced to rely on unprofitable sales (usually due to a lack of funds during the transition) to try to meet a false metric that has nothing to do with the core of the business, claiming to be the largest EV manufacturer, but based on empty promises, and actually losing money to do it, a truly reckless approach.
