General Motors’ new President of North America operations, Rory Harvey, confirmed Friday that despite this April’s sales jumping 280 percent over the previous year I, the , would not be .

“It was time for the Bolt to come to an end,” Harvey said, according to the .

Well you know what Rory? I wouldn’t take you back, even if you did want me.

Because when GM announced it was , I knew that by denying America the one small affordable EV on the market some would realize it was a mistake, even if you didn’t.

Sure, we had some rough times. When I said our partnership would tear down walls, you didn’t realize I actually . That’s on me. But did we work on communication? No.

You just... cut me out, after seven years together. You didn’t . See? I tried to change for you to meet your preferences and Did you think I’d wait around forever? No, I know my worth.

When are you going to see an American car company offer such a good deal on an EV? Probably never.

I’m worth owning. Lots of people think so, but a lot of people will never even know what they almost had. When I drive by on those Michigan freeways bought under friend and family discount plans, I hope you think of what you could of had. I was a once in a lifetime kind of car, and you know what, America?

You blew it.
