Healthy Expectations For 2022
GM expects the broader U.S. economic recovery to continue in 2022.
“In 2022, we plan to take advantage of the strong economy and anticipated improved semiconductor supplies to grow our sales and share,” said GM Executive Vice President and President at GM North America, Steve Carlisle, in a statement. “We will also further strengthen our industry leadership in trucks and begin our drive to EV leadership in North America with the rollouts of the GMC HUMMER EV, Cadillac LYRIQ and the reveals of the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV,” he added.

Can’t sell anything when we have to beg for chips from China. I sure hope they get the new Ohio plant built sooner then 2025
You really dont know where chips come from do you! If you simply look to good old VT state you will know they can’t make enough there. Even Ford showed up there last year! When companies cancel their orders and others step in like cell phone companies and IOThings….you can’t just reactivate your orders!
I see someone who wants to seem like they know what they are talking about.
