GM

The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is the latest fancy car to eliminate physical buttons in favor of more touchscreen nonsense (as noted in Doug DeMuro’s most recent review of the electric SUV). I can conceive of no earthly reason why I should have to dig through several menus on a touchscreen just to open the glovebox except that physical buttons cost money I guess? So please, Cadillac, put the button back in and then send me the bill.

GM says it sold 14,709 Bolt EVs and Bolt EUVs over the last three months, which is a record for the unassuming little hatchback. And with customer demand soaring, the automaker is boosting production by nearly 60 percent, from 44,000 to 70,000 for the calendar year. With an average sale price of over $65,000, the cheapest EV on the market is selling like hotcakes. What a shock, right?

GMC is closing the order books for the Hummer EV truck and SUV after receiving 90,000 reservations for the controversial electric vehicle, according to the Detroit Free Press. It just can’t seem to keep up with demand, so the GM-owned company has decided to stop taking orders until production picks up. Maybe if the Hummer’s battery wasn’t the same weight as a whole-ass Honda Civic, it would be easier to manufacture, but I digress.
