GM isn't on the Dow Jones

Apparently in the company's infobox it says that the company is somehow part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I'm not sure how this happened, but it's not true.

I checked everything else and it's not part of the index.

The company was on the index, and it stayed there for a really long time, from 1915 to 2009!

Since the article can't be edited by me (I have no account here,) can anyone try to fix this?

Thanks. ~2025-36035-73 (talk) 22:00, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

I've added "(former)" to the infobox entry. No idea if this is considered an appropriate change, or if just removing it entirely is called for. Kind of surprised that there's no coverage of their removal in the body of the article. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 23:25, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

It's okay by me! Thanks ~2025-36820-95 (talk) 22:43, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

HQ Image Update

It appears that General Motors' moved their headquartered location was the Renaissance Center to Hudson's Detroit in Michigan.

Maybe the company didn't like their own tower in an U.S. state. MainRecline (talk) 21:10, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

LLC

Catfurball (talk · contribs) recently changed:

"General Motors Company (GM) is an American ..."

to:

"General Motors LLC doing business as General Motors, formerly General Motors Company (GM) is an American ..."

Most readers understand that the pile of letters after a company name are just legalese and in most cases treat the name the same whether it has the letters or not. As the first sentence in the article, this is like hitting the reader with a sledgehammer between the eyes. It adds clutter in the introduction, the very place that we want to keep things simple. Should we keep this addition, simplify it, remove it or shift it down to the history section where the other reorganisation stuff is? Note: I don't have a problem with the full name "General Motors LLC" being in the name field of the infobox or the first sentence. It's just the listing of alternative names that I prefer to avoid so early in the article.  Stepho  talk  23:43, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

@Stepho-wrs: Move my reference above the infobox by the current name General Motors LLC, and talk about the current name General Motors LLC in the history section. I do not know when this name change took place, it would be nice to know. Catfurball (talk) 23:55, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

@Stepho-wrs: I trimmed the introduction and moved my reference to the infobox; I also added a reference from Federal Register that says General Motors Company, General Motors Holdings LLC, and General Motors LLC. Apparently GM has been going by General Motors LLC, since at least 2010. Catfurball (talk) 18:04, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Scope

Most of this article refers to the old company, not the present one. Grassynoel (talk) 22:28, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

It covers both, roughly in proportion to the years each existed.  Stepho  talk  23:23, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

While technically GM Inc is gone and GM llc is only a few years old, we can look at this instead as a continuously operating organization. The people, buildings, resources etc have continuity an thus we can discuss this as the organization that is GM vs as the 18 year old company. Springee (talk) 00:38, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
