Fact check: Which other GM vehicle models are experiencing production delays in 2025?

Checked on June 16, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Several GM vehicle models are facing significant production delays and changes in 2025-2027:

  • Electric Vehicle Delays:

Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV production has been pushed from late 2025 to mid-2026 [1] [2]

Buick's first U.S. EV reveal has been delayed with no specific timeline provided [2]

The Chevrolet Bolt EV line is being discontinued entirely at the end of 2023 [1]

Production Location Changes:

Chevrolet Equinox production is moving to a U.S. plant by mid-2027 [1]

Chevrolet Blazer production will relocate from Mexico to the U.S. by 2027 [1]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The production delays are happening within a broader context that wasn't addressed in the original question:

  • GM is failing to meet its EV production goals - they will not achieve their targeted production capacity of one million EVs in 2025 [2]
  • The delays are attributed to two main factors:

Slow EV demand

Challenges with Ultium battery technology implementation [2]

  • Limited production is still occurring - the Silverado EV has seen 3,257 deliveries from Factory Zero in early 2024 [2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question's focus on "delays" might oversimplify what's actually happening at GM:

  • Some changes are strategic relocations rather than delays (like the Blazer and Equinox moves to U.S. production) [1]
  • The Bolt discontinuation is a planned end of production rather than a delay [1]
  • The question's focus on 2025 doesn't capture the full timeline of GM's production changes, which extend into 2027 [1]

This broader context suggests a company-wide strategic realignment rather than simple production delays.
