GM has halted its next-gen electric truck project at Detroit's Factory Zero, prioritizing cash flow amid $3–4 billion projected 2026 tariff costs and a Q1 earnings decline to $2.59 EPS and $43.67 billion revenue.
The company’s stock fell 4% this week as investors reacted to the EV delay and executive bonuses, with GM absorbing $7.6 billion in EV restructuring charges in 2025 and now emphasizing hybrids and gasoline vehicles.
