On January 6, according to statistics, in the fourth quarter of 2021 (October-December), GM delivered only 26 pure electric vehicles in the United States, which is the worst performance since the launch of the first electric vehicle in 2010.
The 26 pure electric vehicles include 25 Chevrolet Bolt EV/EUV, and a pure electric Hummer.
Musk, who has always looked at the hilarity and is not a big deal, of course refuses to let go of this excellent opportunity, mentioning "Room to improve (there is room to improve) when replying to netizen comments", for this "high emotional intelligence" response, netizens said that Musk has been very face-giving.
In contrast, Tesla delivered more than 300,000 electric vehicles worldwide in the third quarter of last year, 26 compared to 300,000, which is really an ant tripping elephant.
Given Chevrolet Bolt's continued recalls and two consecutive production suspensions, Chevrolet's fourth-quarter decline is also reasonable, but only selling 26 units in three months is really a big surprise.
More ironically, earlier in November, GM CEO Mary Barra said in an interview that GM is the leader in the electric vehicle market, and she also said that she would "not give up leadership to anyone."
What is even more embarrassing is that this statement was amplified when the US president later visited GM's electric vehicle factory, and to some extent it was "officially certified".
Not only that, according to the latest sales data in the United States, Toyota North America surpassed GM for the first time to become the top seller in the US market in 2021 with the result of 2332262 vehicles, which also officially announced the end of GM's 90-year domination era in the US market.
