So how much longer must we wait until DF's vision graces us with an appearance?
"Model e team is changing name to Model f (failure)."
Comment of the century!
They said the EV plan (like socialism) is a great idea with a great future... it just has some execution bugs to work out and has yet to be done the right way.... but they are working on it!!!
Model e team is changing name to Model f (failure).

The salaried will pay for this with layoffs
Layoffs in Software and SDV coming to us, since we mirror everything GM does.
“GM’s layoffs are more than just a cost-cutting measure. They’re a clear signal that the landscape for companies transitioning to software-centric models is shifting. While GM and others still have ambitions to be software powerhouses, they’re starting to realize that building massive in-house teams might not be the best path forward,” Taplin said.
Project Conway was launched
Bottom line, Model e is safe and will continue to define the future of the company. I have consistently told people this in this forum and elsewhere and have been proven correct.
Read the press release. DF's vision will be realized and our next steps to success are on the horizon. I look forward to it.
If you were in the meeting then you know what was said. Otherwise, kick rocks.
That is a lot of money that is being redirected. Are we going to fire the leadership that came up with the failed Model E strategy and their team, i.e. JF and DF? Are we going to eliminate the people under the bloated HTHD compensation that have produced nothing of value over the last 3 years?

They said everything was fine. We are investing another 2 billion in EVs since the upswing is just around the corner.
