For the BEVs, I think Tesla is taking the lead and will leave GM way behind.
They will put on the market a BEV SUV, called the Model X, with either 2WD or 4WD,

In Minnesota, you might be subject to road salt.
In Quebec, I can tell you it's heavily salted in winter and this helps create corrosion on
the support points of the brake pads.
What that creates...
