I have my bets on Rivian too as I think they’ll beat Tesla to the market with a pickup truck. Knowing Elon, the truck will happen. But it will be after TM3 Standard Range (aka $35k version) is produced, and the ramp up of the Tesla Model Y which will be best guests sometime in 2020. So Rivian will be the first to a…

I agree the $35k TM3 Standard Range (200-220 mile range) is Tesla’s next milestone to ramp up and hit around mid-year 2019. But there will always be something with Tesla. I suspect the same ramp up hell will happen with Model Y. And everyone wants a CUV/SUV. The pricing should be close to the TM3. Maybe a $4k premium…

I’ll assume you have some sort of brand loyalty that will make you partial to Dodge. But you do know that Dodge outsells both Ford and Chevy in the Sedan category with the Charger Pursuit and is still preferred over Ford and Chevy. Ford has had a few issues with its CO leaks, along with recalls, etc that plenty of…

I am surprised FCA does not have a Durango Pursuit version out yet. All of the local law enforcement in the DE area wanted Durango Pursuit versions of the Special Purpose versions because they love the gun vaults being flush in the floor:

That is incorrect. The $7500 Federal Tax Rebate is phased to $3750 now. So that is a reduction in incentives by $3750. To offset it Tesla decreased the MSRP by $2,000. So the increased cost to the consumer is only $1750. Not $4k or 5k. And Tesla changes pricing on its vehicles quite a bit. It’s just news to so many…

I think two events have in particular have made the media rounds recently. That said, there are threads on Reddit where bro-truck owners are trying to take a stance against eco-minded folks to save their trucks (stemmed from the potential threat of heavy-duty vehicles having emissions standards.) The more prominent…

I’m a fan of EVs and Tesla. That said, I think the EV incentive is necessary in order to encourage sales of them. The reliance on fossil fuels, even if you do not agree with the scientific findings that support it, is still not in our country’s best interest and the reason why we have to be friendly to countries like…

CPO Lexus GS350 AWD (0-60 in 5.4) for $26.5k (Can also look at an IS 350 AWD): https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/758043916/overview/

https://www.wired.com/story/the-physics-of-a-tesla-model-x-pulling-a-boeing-787/ The Physics favor the Model X’s instant torque down low. That said, if the Bro Truck had enough torque it would win. It all comes down to which vehicle had the tires have the most grip for it to put torque down to the pavement.

It does not “look cooler” however. I’m not a fan of the Model X.

No matter how you put it, rapid charging is bad for batteries. That said, in order to bridge the transition for a normal ICE consumer to EV, I see this as a necessary evil. How many people lease cars and treat them as long-term rentals and do not care about the vehicles life expectancy. This consumer might be open to…

Sounds okay. But they literally could LEAD with SUVs and Truck.

If the H2 and H3 were designed with the same focus the current Colorado and Sierra are, and that was applied to below the skin as well, then yes they would not flop. An H2 was should have been GM’s Range Rover/G-Wagon/Land Cruiser based on a GM platform. The H3 should have been a Discovery/GLE/GX470/Grand Cherokee…

Same. I don’t want a big ass full-size truck. I want a mid-size (hell really want a compact) but I currently drive a 08 Dakota that can tow 7000 with its 290hp/320LbFt V8. If you tell me a newer Ranger will tow 7500 and have 270hp/310LbFt out of a turbo 4 which for $500 people are tuning an extra 20-25% out of…

Close on the Raptor, but the wrong direction. Ram SRT-10. Muscle Car V10 from the Viper. 4 Doors. Can haul and tow. and Save $5k because it is the smart thing to do: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/747723315/overview/

I think Technology is becoming the new Luxury. People are looking at their vehicles as more than just mobile transportation the same way the iPhone is more than just a phone. Tesla will have to worry about the legacy automakers because they can scale quicker and faster and more consistently. But Tesla continues to…

What information is this based on? is this a personal opinion? We already know that the Base $35k Model 3 RWD will have the rear 188kW Motor already being produced in the Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor. The smaller battery module has already leaked.

A key fob to unlock the doors or just walk up to the door and it unlocks (like a smart key) I don’t see this as functioning that differently lol.

You don’t use an app to unlock. It knows via Bluetooth when you are in proximity and it unlocks when you open the door.

Not me! A friend once towed his Audi Quattro A4 on a Tow Dolly with the front wheels on the dolly, and the rear wheels rolling behind. He simply put the car in Neutral and thought it was fine. Arrives with to destination with a burn tranny because he forgot the driveshaft is still turning and nothing is on to keep the…
