According to Details General Motors batteries production plan is in regard to reach the goal of 20 electric vehicles in lineup by 2023. According to website “car&driver” on the launch day of cyber truck GM CEO Mary Barra Said;
“GM will have its own electric pickup truck that will become available in fall of 2021.

Fairwheels take;
This change in planning of general motors’ happen after the launch of Tesla’s electric truck because GM is well known for the production of Trucks in America and European markets and whenever a company tries to snatch your business and position you will have to setup the alternative plan to compete against.
