CLAIM #28090 · General Motors Company (GM) · 2024Q4 earnings call · Jan 28, 2025 · due Dec 31, 2025
“I mean -- thanks, Tom. I keep going back to this. When we talk about the pricing assumption, it's really a combination of ATP and the incentive environment... but we've modeled in the risk or the assumption that there's some incentive increases going forward, whether that's market-driven or demand-driven, et cetera.”

In context
“he retail environment, with everything going on weather wise, inauguration, et cetera, that it's just a little bit too soon to call that build. But should we see consistent demand as we would expect, I think there's an opportunity to take some of that ICE wholesale volume up. Chris McNally: Thanks so much. Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from Tom Narayan with RBC. Your line is open. Tom Narayan: Thanks for taking the question. On the North American pricing guidance down 1% to 1.5%, you said you're guiding for ICE volumes down, higher EV volumes. I would think EVs would come in at higher than ICE pricing.

And what we found that has worked well for us in our internal planning and the setup is to assume that we see a little bit of pricing pressure going forward because it's easier for us to react. So, what I would say is, yeah, we would expect a consistent ATP environment from what we've seen going forward, but we've modeled in the risk or the assumption that there's some incentive increases going forward, whether that's market-driven or demand-driven, et cetera. And if we don't see that, I would expect that we'll outperform that assumption as we have in years past. Tom Narayan: Got it. Thanks. And my follow-up on Super Cruise, I appreciate the comments on the adoption rate, et cetera. But wondering to what extent do you think the regulatory kind of system is a support mechanism for Level 2 plus, Level 3. Is this something that could ultimately be the real catalyst that pushes Super Cruise or Level 2, Level 3 down the road? Or do you see this as jus”
