Tell me when they make one people can actually afford.
> Seems like a poor time to drop your sedan production in favor of SUVs with oil prices climbing,
GM can do this. They can change production so quickly that when oil is cheap and people want SUVs (aka now) they can do that. And when it is not, they can change production back to sedans and EV. Much more flexibility.

And yet Tesla will not be able to deliver the cheap model 3 and GM has been doing it.
That's a substantial claim - without any evidence. No surprise though - it's easy to be pulled into the Musk hype.
The Bolt has been selling at between 1.5 and 1k per month while the production of the supply-limited model 3 is approaching 5k per week.
I guess I'm crazy and got pulled into the Musk hype.

I'm guessing they will. Right now though, you have a point there, the model 3 is more expensive than the Bolt.
An "SUV" is a luxury good anyway and many of them are absurdly priced (imagine what that'd get you in a real car!).
Tesla is building SUV EVs. Other makers are planning to.
