  1. GM U.S. Sales Drop 5.5% in Q3 Amid Falling EV Demand

    General Motors saw its third-quarter U.S. sales decline by 5.5%, driven by a broad drop in electric vehicle demand. While GM struggles with waning enthusiasm for its all-electric lineup, competitors like Toyota have remained buoyed by a mix of hybrids and EVs. The downturn is particularly sharp for specific models, with the Chevy Equinox EV experiencing a massive sales plunge. This performance reflects a broader struggle for GM to maintain sales momentum in a volatile automotive market.
