That's great, but this thread is about something else entirely. No one at GM (or anywhere else, apparently) can make recurring revenue from you, so your needs and interests will be even less relevant to automakers than those of the rest of us.

Sucks, but that's how things are shaping up. Too late for the proverbial pebbles to vote.

It's more of a want than a need. Otherwise, I agree, but not being able to buy an EV was presented as a bad thing?

There are fewer alternatives than I'd like, but there're still plenty to get the basic "car" need satisfied with my special "no phone use required" preference.
