How is this any different than Tesla owners taking their car to Midas for a brake job or the corner indy for that matter which have probably serviced 100,000 Teslas. (bet you thought I was going to say, for a muffler job)
General Motors has discovered a new source of income: fixing people's Teslas.

I do my own Tesla oil changes, trans service, etc. Even though I can't fine the engine oil fill hole. I just pour it all over the and it soakes in. So far so good.
Pretty sure GM will be in financial trouble without my business. Sorry about that Mary!

It's tax payers who bailed them out
Funny thing is, people who made "too much" money didn't get those stimulus checks. And people who made "too much" money likely paid more in taxes than the people who made "just enough" money to get a stimulus check.
1st sentence: Didnt Oz just do that? Kicked out Ford, Toy, etc? Y? They were failing (against all the pacific rim) and demanded gov funds to build any longer there.
2nd sent: didnt the puter revolution start w/gov support (NASA)?
I know these can B seen as anecdotal but R there & so I throw in for consideration of counter point
Chess 300 IQ move...

“That’s a growing business for us,” Reuss told the crowd. “I gotta say it’s a new business.”
Their Bolt is the only EV I'd buy. That seems to be the reasonable one.
We will see what they come out with down the road in the next couple years, slim picking right now but soon to change.
For me personally prices need to come down drastically before it would be worth it for our family second car.
11,000 since 21 doesn't seem like that many to me considering the number of dealers and cars that likely go trough... also how did they count? Did they count used car inspections and the like?
Seems like click bait.
Anyway, in a former life when i worked in a 4 line GM dealer we had a few odd vehicles through, not counting Diahatsu which we also sold and used cars we had a number of clients who brought their other makes to us. We would likely not take just anything cold off the street.
The dealer i used to work for still has a number of clients who bring other makes to them, some commercial clients and some who even bring stuff that would likely be in warranty else where (and they do advise them this)
I suspect this is what's going on, a guy has a GM or two and a Tesla - Knows his GM dealer and takes it there for some routine stuff.
Also some of the higher line dealers and tesla is one seem to exude this attitude that they are doing you a favor by working on your car... GM dealers as a rule don't exude that sort of attitude....

If my math is correct, with 1675 GM dealers in the US, it works out to less than 1 Tesla (actually 0.02) per day and that's only for one year. If it's up to two years, the number is absolutely inconsequential.

You ever do the gear oil ?
So, when will ACDelco have Tesla parts?
Probably right after Tesla has Tesla parts? Who knows, cuz it's all Elon time anyways.
I'm long and overweight GM. Mary Barra is one of the great CEOs of American business. The autistic boy who just overpaid for Twitter is not the person I want to give my money to. Obviously, others disagree about TSLA.
Yeah even though I’m fully invested I did have some funds on the side, I may or may not but I regret not before it’s 15% GM run up just a few weeks back
You sound like one of those "patriotic" Americans who have a problem with saving American jobs. Some of us live and work in Michigan, and love this country. By the way, the Feds got the "bail out" money back with a profit.
Don't they all service all makes and models (generally speaking).
I am glad Tesla is looking for better/improving servicing network as they are an absolute disaster there.
