I don't see it as a warning sign, I see it as GM being offered a great deal with incentives to move. While I did think GM's presence there brought stability, the building does have much potential. Like other's have mentioned, it started life as a hotel, so I don't see plumbing being an issue. A luxury suite would require less plumbing infrastructure than multiple hotel rooms. It would be nice if they brought back the theatres. My wife and I would go there often, then cap off the night with a romantic stroll through the beautiful lobby.

They have been building EVs since the 90s. Hell, the second gen Chevy Volt was supposed to be the car that would save GM. Plug in hybrid, never have to worry about range anxiety, and are free to go on road trips without any planning, and still get an insane amount of fuel economy if you chose to do so, but just like the EV1, they canceled it. They spend all this money on research and development, and then trash the project if it doesn’t sell millions it’s first year. It takes time for such things to pay off and churn a profit, but instead you know what is paid off and already profitable? Stupid gas guzzling trucks and SUVs. “Let’s trick consumers into wanting these behemoths for their 1-4 person family! Our only competitor is Ford anyway!” It’s insane how many freaking Teslas I see on the road everyday. You cant even legally buy them in my state! In fact, there are so many EVs that the state decided to tax owners $200 a year per EV regardless of how little miles they drove them. How many electric chevys do I see on the road? Just the one or two Volts that managed to survive their lease period. Sure, there are plenty of GM vehicles where I live, but they’re all trucks and SUVs, with an occasional corvette every now and then. But actual real CARS, family cars, majorly are Tesla, with Toyota as runner up. I live in a very red state, very conservative. If there are that many EVs on our roads, maybe it’s because we don’t like being told what we can and can’t drive.

There’s a crunch between credit and car prices these days in general (not just EVs). With interest rates so high, it’s difficult for people to justify getting into any pricey new car today. And then there’s prices. Some of it may be ripples from the supply chain, but others are entirely own-goals on the part of GM (discontinuing the smaller, more-affordable Bolt while wasting time on nonsense like an EV Hummer comes to mind). US automakers need to figure how to make affordable EVs a lot quicker - they can’t rely on trade protections from Chinese imports forever.
