Business Model Analysis
Annual Revenue: $185.02B
General Motors makes money by designing, manufacturing, wholesaling, financing, and servicing vehicles. The core profit engine is North American trucks and SUVs, supported by GM Financial, parts and service, OnStar subscriptions, software features, fleet sales, and international operations.
The strategy is to protect high-margin trucks and SUVs, scale Ultium-based EVs where demand is profitable, expand software and services, use GM Financial to support sales, and focus capital on markets where GM has a realistic path to returns.

GM's advantage is its North American truck and large-SUV franchise, manufacturing scale, supplier base, dealer network, financing arm, and decades of connected-vehicle data through OnStar. Those assets fund the transition even as EV economics remain difficult.
The biggest risk is margin compression during the transition. If EV adoption, Chinese competition, interest rates, or regulatory costs move faster than GM's ability to earn returns on new platforms, the cash generated by trucks and SUVs may have to subsidize too much change at once.
