Reputational risk among who? The upper middle class people who poo-poo anyone who doesn't drive a Toyota or Tesla product?

Nobody else is paying serious attention to the R&D ventures of the big automakers or at least if they are they aren't using it to influence purchasing decisions.

Seriously, this is auto/tech nerd news which is read by a sliver of car buyers. Folks will stroll into the dealership they bought their last GM 15 years ago and say ‘gee maybe ill give electric a shot for these lease terms considering my use lately.’
