One of many points in late 2022/early 2023 was a manufacturing pause on the Manufacturing facility ZERO in Michigan (Detroit and Hamtramck), attributable to preparations for an additional Ultium-based mannequin, the Chevrolet Silverado EV.

We guess that doubtlessly there may additionally be different causes, like restricted battery provide or some ramp-up problems with the Ultium platform (Cadillac Lyriq ramp-up can also be going sluggish in spite of everything).
