GM also made and sold the first commercial ev called ev1 with 150 miles range in 1995, abandoned 1 year after lauch but 15 years latter Elon Musk uses the same technology to create tesla roaster. This tells innovation is one thing but marketing is a different beast. Same with Apple

GM has one of the best engineering teams and one of the worst corporate management ever 

Decades of missed oppurtunities all in the pursuit of short term profits. 

They were also so ahead of the EV tech when they decided to just abandon it altogether

I feel GM in general is able to innovate faster than some of the European counter parts which is pretty evident and some of their recent models. I think in the recent past they are definitely becoming more innovate in terms of technology and I really hope they have a good foot hold in the EV war and the autonomous war

I wonder why japanese makers like honda and toyota is lagging behind the EV market ? 
with their production prowess they can easily outnumber Tesla's figures.

They bet on hydrogen fuel and completely off guard by the near unanimous acceptance of EV...and that too at a short time...

Their timeline is slow roll out by 2030 ...
