    they attached this vid;



    but it says ZERO how the manufacturer is going to get the sales creeps to get on board.
    The video starts by saying "they" GM are starting a new thing. ok .... great .... the last thing GM made famous was crushing EV's ... so the bar is set pretty low in order to improve
    ;)

    GM has already been working on that. It was in the news a month or so ago.
    Basically, they are telling their Cadillac dealers to get on board, or they can get bought out.
    I suspect they will be doing much the same with any other dealerships with EVs.

    I’m not going to kick sand in their face until they fail to deliver.

    One thing I do know, is that GM is hitting this pretty hard. I have a relative that was hired early on a handful of years ago when they decided they were going after the autodrive/ev stuff. My understanding is that research/development went from like a dozen people to hundreds in the first year alone. I think they're taking this pretty seriously.

    This is where they'll be making the batteries.

    They are also aiming to be a supplier of EV drive trains and batteries.
