Battery technolgy is the same. LithIon battery isnt new, im on one righ now.
Hooking up an engine to a generator, which recharge the batteries, which drive the car, and making several thousands of them a year, in a robotic factory, with a 10/150k mile warranty, for under 40k....
Tesla cant do that.

and the cable.....how is it a suppliers fault, if the cable gets routed along the car on gm's assembly line?

Wheels aren tthe problem. The problem is that I belive after the pads wear down 1/2 way, there is a squeal that is amplified by the lightness of the caliper. The vibration is dampened by additional weights placed on the caliper.
Cable's insulation was faulty.
