More Electric Car Models in the Future Market
More electric car models mean more options for consumers, speeding up the broader adoption of EVs. Tesla faced some major quality issues, such as a roof that detached from a Model Y in California in October, on the same day the owner picked up the car from the dealership.
GM’s move means that customers wanting to buy an electric vehicle “won’t have to choose the 15-year-old startup that has quality issues,” said Gear, production director.
