The Big Number: 19

G.M. said it had sold 691,978 vehicles from April through June — a 19 percent jump from a year earlier.

Like other automakers, G.M. faced shortages of computer chips and other parts in the pandemic, which sent up the cost of vehicles, forced factories to shut down and left car dealers with sparse lots. Sales fell in part because there were fewer cars to sell.
