    President Biden attends GM's Factory ZERO Grand Opening November 17th 2021

      Factory Zero, aka the previous GM Detroit-Hamtramck has finished construction and will finally Grand Open as GM's first Zero Emission auto production assembly plant.

     

    Today GM announced their excitement to have President Biden attend the Grand Opening of Factory Zero Wednesday November 17th 2021.

    In the heart of Detroit and Hamtramck Michigan, GM's first all-electric assembly plant, the culmination of GM's multibillion-dollar U.S. investment in people, products and modernized processes. These electric trucks, SUVs and autonomous vehicles built at Factory ZERO will transform GM and the auto industry as the move is on to emission free auto's.

    GM has looked for ways to move forward using their existing assembly plants and retraining their workforce and with that the local people of Hamtramck, Michigan has seen this modern evolution from a century old company.

    Officially the start of full production with the Hummer Truck by GMC will happen on November 17th 2021, but there has been plenty of mule production runs to work out the assembly kinks. With this official grand open GM is on track to deliver Hummer Trucks to customers by the end of the year if not sooner. Look for the newest Hummer in your neighborhood soon.

    Is there a time before the end of the year? ?

    My local GMC dealer has yet to make any of the EV dealer upgrades, so it'll be interesting to see if deliveries are held up from that regard.

    One of the upgrades is new hydraulic lifts capable to handling the Hummer's massive weight- can't work on some aspects of repairs without a lift.

    I hope that once production actually starts, customers can get some affordable BEVs not just EV Hummers at $100K.

    Supposedly we will see in January at the 2022 CES show the Chevrolet and GMC EV Trucks to battle with Ford. GM has stated they will be very competitive in the prices. 

    Hopefully a decent FRUNK like Ford has and equal spec's.

    This is what they need to do when you have companies like Rivian and Lucid who never even delivered a car worth more than Ford or GM.   Investors only care about EV's but I don't know how the masses are going to afford them at the prices they are at now.

      Tariff Tuesday - Sports Cars are Dead

      The tariffs definitely put Stellantis in a bit of a pickle.

      Tariff Tuesday - Sports Cars are Dead

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      Agree that this whole Tariff mess will take out those that are already on deaths door. This I suspect could clean out a few of the early name plates. Sad that so many billions was wasted by an idiot CEO trying to rebuild a dead industry in Italy with trying to bring back poorly built name plates. Alfa Romeo, Maserati should have never been invested in. But that can now be said for more American name plates too. Time to let Chrysler die with dignity. In my humble opinion Buick other than China should just be put into the history books. GM = Entry level Chevrolet - Mid level GMC and luxury Cadillac. We still have an overabundance on name plates globally.

      Tariffs will kill off the Japanese sports cars, and the Mitsubishi brand and probably Maserati, JLR, Alfa Romeo who are all struggling and might be gone in 5 years even without tariffs.  Which then, with less competition in the market, prices of everyone else will probably go up.

      While that’s true, that’s also true across the industry. So affordable is still relative to its non-sports-car showroom mates.    The Jeep Renegade was under $20k when released and by the time it was canceled was $30k

      Had a relaxing weekend at the lake, albeit still a bit cold... highs only in the low 40s.  But sunny in the afternoons, great sunsets.  Saturday night about 8pm...last pic is the 'pink' moon at about 9pm Sat.  Crazy spring weather..70 and sunny at home yesterday afternoon, 43 and rain today.   Got to wash the Caddy, it got a lot of mud on it on one backroad near the lake where they were logging.
