    Was watching the football game last night... got the push notification about Ken about thirty minutes after the hit.  All I could think is “WHAT is going ON!”.  This came on the heels of one of my coworkers passing away in a snowmobile accident two days ago.  Ugh...

    It’s both.

    I’m guessing “mental thought processes” aren’t really these folks forte.  Luckily, they make up a very small portion of the truck buying market.  I’m a Silverado driver and I cannot WAIT to move to electric.

    Those big trucks and SUV’s are almost single handedly paying for the development of EV vehicles for the future.  It’s a trade off I’m willing to make.

    Neutral:  I do tune in, but I’d guess that everything I listen to is available online.  I listen exclusively to our local sports radio station and my local NPR station.  I know for sure that the sports talk is on Audacy.

    The last I heard, the Cherokee is going to be replaced with a small “Wagoneer” as Stellantis tries to turn Wagoneer into a sub brand.

    I used to join Tesla earnings calls for my job. It was baffling to me, based on those calls, how anyone trusted Musk. This dude has always and will always be a piece of shit.

    Wasn’t it always the plan that eventually everyone else would eat away at Tesla’s market share because Tesla was the “catalyst” for the entire market shift?  Turns out, shareholders must not share the same view.

    For me the explanation is that Sam’s Club is owned by Walmart, so that’s a non-starter for me.

    Oh no, I’m not suggesting that at ALL.  I know they do.  What I’m suggesting is that we all know the current run up in prices is almost entirely allocated to corporate profits.  So expecting Toyota to be altruistic with their price increases isn’t something I would hope for.

    Well right now you’re getting both, not one or the other.  Also, I wouldn’t be so confident that it will go to R&D.

    It’s been said before, but it’s worth repeating.  OEM’s need to slowly work customers into EV’s.  Making a drastic design change to a vehicle, especially a truck, is going to hurt sales.  Someday you will likely see trucks with different front ends, but not the very first EV version of a truck.  It will take time.

    I’m a sufferer from what has been diagnosed as Generalize Anxiety Disorder. I am an otherwise high achieving person who experiences bouts of anxiety that are so extreme that I find it difficult to work or concentrate on anything other than how bad I feel in the moment (yes I know, this is the pattern of thought that

    Resourcing components and raw materials on vehicles that have been planned for several years is easy?  Ok.

    Ford is laying off 8,000 people and you want me to believe that they’re going to be the ones to topple Tesla?

    GM does thing to better understand how to fix a problem with customers.

    There’s not much reason to have the Bolt when you will have an Equinox EV that isn’t much more expensive.  

    It’s some Frankenstein’s monster mash up of a Beetle, a Saab and the rear end of an old Audi TT.

    I mean to some extent, the deserve it.  They’re the hottest selling cars in the US... but I’m sorry, looking at this thing objectively, it’s ugly as sin.  If you put a Chevy badge on this and made zero other changes, there would be 200 comments absolutely destroying it, and it would deserve it.

    People are in here praising the rear of this, but everyone hated the rear of the Lyriq?
