Featured Goodbye Chevy Bolt. GM announces it will be discontinued.

they actually announced the limited production when they announced the arrival.
they wanted to build some for all the people who complained that they couldn't get one when production ended.
after they complete production of the new model based on the old architecture, a new family of bolts will come out based on all new ev architecture they are working on now, including battery tech with teslas old head of battery engineering.
of course, all of this is under close scrutiny with the current ev atmosphere in the USA

 

IMHO; limited short run creates an artificial shortage, so they can keep retail prices high. I'm sure GM has figured out that these ON again, OFF again tariffs would make it impossible to reliability source parts at a price target to maintain profitability. This is why they fear Chinese EVs. China's EV supply chain is vertically integrated, similar to Henry Ford's model-T supply chain.

 

everyone fears the Chinese except the ignorant.
