General Motors is forgoing plans to produce its autonomous cab Cruise Origin indefinitely as it refocuses efforts on the troubled unit.
General Motors (GM) shares tumbled Tuesday after the biggest U.S. automaker announced a surprising loss in China and took a $600 million charge for its struggling Cruise autonomous vehicle unit.
GM is indefinitely suspending production of the Cruise Origin as it focuses more attention on the Chevrolet EV Bolt. The self-driving cars were allowed back on the road this spring.
General Motors (GM) delivers impressive second-quarter results, with sales and earnings topping estimates. The auto giant also lifts the 2024 profit view.

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) shares fell more than 6% as investor concerns about its electric vehicle unit and performance in China overshadowed stronger-than-expected second quarter earnings. The automaker's EV deliveries grew 40% year-over-year in Q2 but made up just 2.3% of the quarter's sales.
Shares of General Motors fell over 6% on Tuesday, pacing the company's worst day in nearly a year after production of an autonomous vehicle from its self-driving unit Cruise was delayed indefinitely, after the car—which doesn't have a steering wheel or pedals—faced years of delays, and Cruise endured scrutiny after a pedestrian was struck by another company car.

While the top- and bottom-line numbers for General Motors (GM) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended June 2024, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.
GM is again slowing its plans for all-electric vehicles by further delaying a second U.S. electric truck plant and the Buick brand's first EV. The delay also means the company will not achieve a prior target of having North American production capacity of 1 million EVs by 2025.
General Motors (NYSE: GM ) stock rose overnight after it beat estimates, raised guidance, and paused work on the Cruise Origin robotaxi, which doesn't have a steering wheel. However, after the markets opened, the stock tanked 2.5% and is still falling as of this writing.
GM's EV ambitions are slowing but that will be good for the bottom line.
