This whole post is about GM's ultium issues, which are very much real. You're the one bringing up Tesla unnecessarily and attacking the source. This may be uncomfortable for you, but GM and Ms Barra herself talk about Tesla all the time, and it's not surprising that EV news blogs also talk about Tesla a lot - they are the elephant in the room (at least in the US). The article also mentions Honda, and Kia-Hyundai too. Is that a sign of horrific bias too? It's a long and detailed article that barely mentions Tesla, and only in relevant ways - GM has stated they will pass Tesla by 2025 (ok sure) and the talent comment. Your entire bias argument rests on the word 'Tesla" being in the article twice, not anything of substance, and that's not even what we're here to discuss.
I don't even like Tesla personally and won't consider buying one unless Elon is long gone and they make some design changes. But I won't buy an ultium car for quite sometime either, because it's a hot mess.
