Who Will Win — GM or Tesla? - CleanTechnica

The article from CleanTechnica contrasts General Motors’ and Tesla’s strategies in the electric vehicle (EV) market, highlighting their differing approaches to future growth. GM is planning to launch a family of affordable electric cars following the revived Bolt, priced under $30,000. This initiative is partly motivated by competition with China’s low-cost EV market, with GM aiming to improve its Ultium platform and develop new lithium manganese-rich (LMR) batteries, targeting a 2028 release for the first LMR-based model. GM’s strategy focuses on expanding affordable EV options for human drivers, leveraging declining battery costs to make electric cars more accessible, while rapidly electrifying its lineup, including the all-electric GMC Hummer. In contrast, Tesla is not pursuing a new low-cost EV model but instead trimming prices on existing Model 3 and Model Y variants. Tesla’s major upcoming product is the Cybercab, a fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals, optimized for cost-efficient, driverless operation.
