President Donald Trump delivers remarks at the American Center for Mobility with General Motors CEO Mary Barra on March 15, 2017, in Ypsilanti, Mich.General Motors said Monday it has reversed course and no longer supports President Donald Trump’s plan to prevent California from setting its own automotive emissions standards.to revoke the authority the Obama administration gave California
Now, however, GM has switched sides, its about-face coinciding not only with its plan to increase its own battery-car investments, but with the White House confirming a handover to a new administration much more attuned to clean energy and tougher auto emissions standards. Other manufacturers that joined the “Coalition of Sustainable Automotive Regulation” have not yet responded to requests for comment.
GM officials declined to comment on the specific timing and reasoning for the company’s turn, but several factors appear to be playing out.its move down what she frequently refers to as “a path to an all-electric future.” In recent months, the company has unveiled an assortment of new battery-electric vehicles, or BEVs, including the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, the Cadillac Lyriq SUV and the GMC Hummer pickup.
GM has laid out one of the most aggressive electrification programs in the industry, with plans to bring “20 or more” BEVs to market by 2023, and even more through the rest of the decade.
Die Zeiten der Verbrennungsmotoren sind endgültig vorbei,Chinas Wirtschaftskraft setzt auf E- Mobilität dies hat Elon Musk erkannt und setzt auf diese Zukunft des 24 Jahrhundert, damit könnte die USA Wirtschaft wieder Geld Verdienen.
Hell yeah, Chalk one up for the environment and future humans.
Schocking...Ass Kissers
Isnt a majority of thier shareholders Chinese now.?
Only cause he lost not cause they care about anything other than profits .
threaten peoples families with death often enough they will jump ship. especially when its the unhinged left, because you know they will follow through.
Good idea....let’s start fresh...move away from this toxicity!!!!!!!!!!!
After they know he lost . GM STANDS FOR GOVERNMENT MOTORS
Cowards! In January when he’s still President, you’re gonna need to kiss a lot of ass! 😂😂😂
WHO IN HERE STILL NEEDS A PS5 AND ARE SERIOUS IN BUYING ONE I HAVE AN EXTRA FROM BEST BUY FIRST COME FIRST SERVED RT LIKE AND VOUCH
Of course not they see the writing on the wall and the word LOSER is self evident.
Well, we have one win.
Going with Ford from now on
No more GM vehicles from at least 60% of the USA 🇺🇸! GM is a fool!
The electric car people on this thread are funny. Where does the electricity come from? The California Air Resource Board is a non elected power hungry bureaucracy but if you guys want to give them their power back fine with me.
Can we, as a nation, reverse course regarding electing Trump in 2016, or better yet just have a 'do over.' We'll even be okay with calling it a mulligan.
Gm is loving this virus lol
Is anyone really surprised an organization that hasn't introduced anything innovative for forward thinking in DECADES has spent the last four years cow-toeing to a clueless president? Instead of saving that old dinosaur, the feds should have let GM go bankrupt back in 2008.
I never buy gm dumb asses
I don’t buy any of that gmc junk anyway!
Well thanks for letting me know . Now I can start short sell GM stock in January as soon as Trump gets settled lol!😂 Idiots
Outstanding !
Guess I won’t be buying a GM
Of course they would and Trump should campaign against them to tell Americans to by a different brand. I went to Ford with no regrets.
So GM sales drop. Stupid management.
Lmao
No one will live in Cali anymore but illegals . Let them set the standards!
Of course Obama placed CEO
Watch them all. They flip decisions for mo ey. Just like politicians
Not surprised gm would bend over to liberalfornia emission laws .
I no longer support GM !
How brave!
Basically, they are saying 'Our beliefs are fungible and change with the political environment, like a chameleon, in order to curry favor with the administration.'
Cowards
That was quick.
What a shame she bent to Trumps wishes in the first place. Glad to see GM changed course in the fight to reduce auto emissions and help our climate. It’s been 4 years since anyone has thought about or did something positive for our environment!
GM hypocrites GM, try making a commitment to the environment instead of a discount from politics.
So now with Biden export jobs to foreign countries, wash rinse repeat
We call this “hedging your bet”
This says a lot about GM’s principles - whatever is good at the time, damn integrity and what is right. I applaud the move but with no respect.

Day late. Dollar short. Oh wait - don’t you guys have ANOTHER HUGE RECALL to attend to
Hynes1616 realDonaldTrump
It’s good to hear GM has come to their senses. But really...not only they should be going all electric, they should find a way to modify the cars already built. There is an over abundance of unused cars that become scrap.
Man! Does the old mighty dollar ever speak loudly?!
Good , it’s not all about profit one needs to see the general impact a rule May have . This is good for the environment this is good for the planet this is good for humanity.
What to jump ship after abusing the environment the last four years when trump allowed you to. Idiots
Wait, what, GM is still in business?
AUTOMOBILES should NOT be made every year. CALIFORNIA needs to close many of the car DEALERSHIPS it has and help them transition into repair shops. The BIG 3 U.S. AUTO MANUFACTURERS are greatly increasing pollution to our planet, they're wasting resources for profits,...
GM bowing to it's new master
That’s good news for everyone.
I don’t understand, although California has strict standards isnt it better to have a uniform standard across the country as opposed to each state having their own?
Loads of people will be changing from the things they supported during the Trump session really. Just like how systematically destroyed most things Obama put in place for reasons not worth mentioning really.
Because they realised that's where the future of the automobile is headed and don't want to be left behind
Stockholm Syndrome.
They ain’t stupid. Biden helped initiate the current automobile emissions requirements. They’re acknowledging 45 is no longer a powerful ally.
Another Tweeto Von Cheeto loss
Aww the trump fog is being lifted
As expected
YES
😂😂😂😂. The Biden bounce and the trump dump
GM is a Follower- not a leader. Mediocrity at its most mediocre
Bunch of clowns
GM doesn't know what to do, I know y'all frightened there's no question y'all feel like your lives are in danger but y'all choose to continue destroying yourself when all you needed to do was eliminate civil rights and equal rights.That's all you need to do. Do not love the world
What a profile in cowardice. Yeah GM, you don't get a round of applause now that you realize trump and his EPA destruction team won't be leading the country.
Tells you something about GM
Of course they did. The future is green. They want to make money.
There it is
It's time for all worlds people to unite, helping our planet recover from our neglect of climate and freedoms. America must retake its rightful place as World Leader. Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You, But What You Can Do For Your Country. The Truth Is Out There👨🌾
Yeah cuz he’s leaving office they don’t want to work with Biden obviously 🙄
I think the blue car in the background is a Mustang. Ford, not GM. Might want to swap that pic for this article.
yes. very good.
Looks like somebody is turncoating to try to get into the electric car market now that green is the new green.
Cause it makes sense for General Moters to do this, since the rest of the world will most likely also move to stronger/strickter automotive emission standards; it would be foolish to look themselves out of the world's market just to please an ignorant president
That's a typical example of company with no direction; they're called any government in power. Easily toast left and right.
Gee ... M! DonnyT loses and a car company flip flops like a lindseygraham fish out of water. Go figure. 😷
“After careful consideration, we’ve decided not to be piece-of-shit opportunists. At least until the next opportunity presents itself” -GM, basically
Glad to have them on the good side, however, they too are rats leaving a sinking ship. I will never buy a US car.
UNO!
😂😂😂 Everybody singing “Fvck Donald Trump”
BoycottGeneralMotors
Or they saw the writing on the wall business wise. Big difference
Bismillah and GM wonders why they have to keep begging money from public funds to stay open.
Why do I find this funny?
weird thing for a cereal company to be talking about
He lied so much! As has Johnson in UK. Same result.
The American voter has TOTALLY SCREWED THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Shame isnt even a word that works at this point.
Better later than never.
Corporate America, leading from behind once again.
Thanks to my 80+ million fellow Americans who voted for truth over lies, love over hate, unity over division & science over superstition. You’ve restored my faith in humanity & given our nation & the world hope for the future.
The saying “Always back the horse called Self Interest” has never been more poignant to sitting Republicans than now. Their own desperate attempts to protect themselves, their futures and not push back Trump demonstrates their ineffective ability to be truly loyal to the country!
Wow, talk about waffles.
States rights
Rats
'Wind' Direction changes on Jan 20,GM has to adjust the sails too..
Forced to change and take the knee
The times they are a changing.
Hm. Always going with the force...
It’s the same mentality of resisting change that got the “Big 3’s” ass handed to them by foreign automakers. The cry of the world is to curb pollution and make cars more efficient and GM’s stance is “Nah.” Seriously? GM makes electric vehicles. What the hell?
Sounds like Biden lobbyists didn’t waste any time.
I’ll buy a Ford.
Another LOSS
Wow, I wonder what changed? 🙄
Of course it doesn’t - we’ve had our own for decades, they deal with it just fine.
Something something rats on a ship
“Given the changing circumstances, we are assessing the situation, but remain committed to our goal of a consistent, unitary set of fuel economy standards applicable in all 50 states.”—-Uniform is where is should have been to begin with, Trump is a disaster.
realDonaldTrump is about to be what I call my weird ex-boyfriend....a “blip” in time that will soon be forgotten.
So Biden helped to find your balls? Where were they?
realDonaldTrump OH What a hit!!! Leave us Californian's alone. We push for Clean AIR, Clean WATER using our own state laws that work for US.
That being said my husband is an FCA executive
There will be a tidal wave of reversals, but will it be fast enough to make a difference 🌍🌎🌏
No more General Motors vehicles for me!!!!!!!
45 needs PRISON TIME (at the very least) for the 4 YEARS of EMOTIONAL ABUSE of AMERICAN (& international) people and for the many DEATHS from COVID-19 (CRIMES against HUMANITY) that he SHOULD have PREVENTED ..along with all the rest of his legal issues!
It says more about GM CEO's 'leadership' than it does about trump
Amazing how when a tyrant is removed from office the pandering stops and people and organizations grow the balls that retracted into their bodies during the last 4 years. The GOP that still doesn’t stand up to Trump because of fear need to grow a pair as well. Bunch of cowards
Maybe that has something to do with wanting to be on candidate JoeBiden 's good side.
Turn on Trump you turn on us!! GM sucks Patriots no more buying from GM!!
Don’t California our America.
Typically corporate. Go with whoever wins not with what is right for consumers or the environment.
Klaus Schwab likes this. Welcome to New World Order!
I live in California. I am always going to have a regular vehicle
Dont want to fight the Womb that bore you humans into thie hell?
GMC vehicles are not necessary because Ford 🤷🏼♀️
This is great news!
Really.? Wish they had the balls earlier.
