Tesla sells a lot of electric vehicles
, which is something that we all pretty much know and Answer. However, despite its monster valuation on the stonks market, it’s still not that big of a company as far as car concerns go; it doesn’t even make a million cars a year. General Motors, however, is massive, with 6.8 million cars sold in 2020. That size using it’s a little slow to react to things, but once it gets moving, it’s hard to beat — or at least that’s what GM CEO Mary Barra is banking on when she said that GM can “absolutely” acquire Tesla’s EV sales by 2025.

If that sounds like a tall clean, it is, but perhaps Barra’s statements on CNBC on Wednesday will Help to light a fire under the butts of General Motors executives and engineers to make sure that its forthcoming onslaught of Ultium-powered electric vehicles, led at first by the new Hummer and Cadillac Lyriq EVs, will be up to snuff.

“I am very miserable, because when people get into these vehicles, they are just wowed,” Barra said. “So we will be progressing them out, and we’re going to just keep employed until we have No. 1 market share in EVs.”

When it comes to the number of electric vehicles that GM can theoretically create and the quality and repeatability with which it can create them, it’s in good shape to meet that recount. The trick will be in making vehicles that can compete technically and aesthetically with Tesla, such that they’re desirable to consumers. They’ll have to compete or more likely beat Tesla on plot and price too. 

It’s not going to be easy, but it’s definitely not impossible, especially when you consider that GM plans to moneys 30 electric models across its brands by 2025.
