I listened to the interview. Barra said she has been driving a Bolt EUV as her company car and loved it. Then:
Quote:
Ryssdal: So why are you stopping making it?
Barra: Because it’s our second-generation technology. The difference between our second generation and third generation, which is Ultium, is a 40% reduction in battery costs. And we’re leveraging the names of our vehicles that are well understood and known in industry. People, you know, who drive an Equinox today will understand what an Equinox EV, what that delivers to them. But, you know, Bolt is something that has built up a lot of loyalty and equity. So I can’t say more because I don’t discuss future product programs. But, you know, it was primarily a move from second generation to third generation. But that’s [an] important vehicle in our portfolio.

That is Barra being a grown up and not falling for the bait. Stay on message - and talk about the cars you have coming out THIS year for sale to the public not something that might be years in the future. Don't close the door but also don't start talking about something that may not even exist and if it does exist isn't ready to be revealed to the public. Classic CEO speak.
