lol. Super Cruise is superior tech? We shall see. And GM purchased Cruise in 2016 and Cruise was founded in 2013. Tesla was founded in 2003 although Tesla didn't IPO until 2010. So no GM haven't been playing with Cruise tech for decades. lol. GM can't even do OTA updates on their vehicles.the volt/bolt are both excellent and reliable vehicles. GM's super cruise uses superior tech with its lidar to the cameras in a tesla, and they have been playing with this tech for decades longer than tesla has existed. just like the 3, and every other Tesla model, they may deliver but it will be later than expected and with serious quality issues that will be explained away by its fans. also, the avg transaction price for the cybertruck will be much higher, the GM one has to price in all the discounts they mess around with. We will see. I hope they both sell well.
And Tesla is often late but that's because Elon promises big and is often brand new tech or manufacturing. Tesla was early with the Model Y because they reused lot of Model 3 tech. Innovation is often hard to time and forecast because things often do go wrong. But one company, Tesla, is innovating while, GM, is sitting on their ass trying to protect their legacy ICE business.
I know it must kill you to see Tesla's success but that's how disruption works. GM and others will go the way of all the past disrupted companies- to the graveyard.
