GM’s production lines went silent, and I broke down why that’s not just a “Detroit story” — it’s something that hits your wallet. We’re looking at nearly 900,000 unsold trucks clogging dealer lots, overflowing into storage yards, airfields, and anywhere they can park metal that isn’t moving. When inventory turns into a liability, the math gets ugly fast: interest, insurance, storage, and floorplan costs start eating everyone alive, and that pressure doesn’t stay inside GM — it spreads to dealers, suppliers, and buyers. In this video I explain how GM got here: forecasting models that kept screaming “demand is up” while real buyers were backing away under high interest rates, higher living costs, and a cultural shift toward smaller, cheaper, more efficient vehicles. I also talk about the chain reaction — workers losing hours, dealers getting strangled by financing, Wall Street adjusting risk, Washington turning it into a political fight, and the UAW gearing up for leverage. Then zoom out: foreign competitors smell blood, trade tensions rise, and GM’s EV timeline looks trapped between big ambition and a market that isn’t ready at the same pace. The takeaway is simple: this isn’t isolated — it’s a warning sign for values, trade-ins, and what “buying a truck” is going to look like next.
