If "it's hard to get electronic parts for a discontinued model of low-selling car in this economy" is your threshold, it's not just GM.

Exactly. It's a niche car, practically an experimental platform, that served to tell GM how people actually used EVs. That knowledge informed choices made in both the Bolt and future Ultium cars. But it's a rare critter and in many years the Corvette outsold it. AND that even has the enduring advantage of sharing an evolutionary engine platform with the Camaro much of the time, which sold 3-4x as well. The Volt is FULL of nearly custom parts used nowhere else.

I consider the Volt a flirtation with technology before it's time, accepting its flaws and benefits. The market, technology, demand, market saturation, profitability and other factors are mostly unpredictable for every car company, they all will have a lot to do just to stay in existence IMO
Yup. It was a fun experiment and made sense at the time but people thinking about the past weren't interested in it and people thinking about the future knew it was just a bridge not a roadway forward.

Once you tell someone you've retained a lawyer for a matter, they generally won't talk to you except through your lawyer. Because the lawyer is your representation, and is who tracks officially who told you what, when and promised which in the process.
