I hope they haven't already shipped a boatload of parts to GM via Hanjin.

LG can't wait. If GM is going to produce the Bolt, they need to have the parts in hand from LG. This is basic supply chain logistics, and really just tells me that everything is still running on time for a late-2016 launch. The next few months are going to seem to just drag by...
