Lithium battery recycling has now been solved and those batteries are worth gold in raw materials. They will fetch a premium as scrap. No worries there.

Anyone asking this question has not done a road trip in a car with a couple of screaming brats.

Ooooh. A hundred horsepower out of 1753cc’s. Even boring passenger cars are hitting 100HP per 1000cc’s now. Sport bikes are hitting 200hp per litre. My new dual sport bike makes 77hp out of 689cc’s and it is half the weight of the Harley.

The bolt was a electric car ‘practice run’ with a converted front wheel drive chassis. Sabotaged to be ugly with uncomfortable seats. I ended up driving a friends and do you know what? The powertrain was actually brilliant. Those narrow tires would protest under the torque at any legal speed.

Locking out independent shops is nothing more than holding customers HOSTAGE for ransom. Cars are not a cell phone. Most people can’t afford to bin it and buy a new one after a minor fault. Auto makers have teamed up and have a repair monopoly for their brand.

Pusher trailers are illegal here.

The model S plaid of course. I want quiet speed and it won’t be long til I hit traffic and have to slow down.

What a miserable fail for range. The entire point of RVing is going distance and going to out of the way places. Ford has slow rapid charging still, the truck is 45 min to 80% charge. I’d imagine the van is probably worse.

The single biggest trend that has to die is DRM LOCKED CARS. If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it. Or at least your independent mechanic should not be locked out. There MUST be new standards brought in on par with OBD2 that allow us to access the entire car. You need a scan tool to do everything.

My surprisingly similar to this 30' Bluebird Q bus gets 12MPG at 60MPH. 8 if I am towing a trailer and loaded to the tits up to it’s 34,000lb GVW.

I spent many years racing cars on ice in Canuckistan. Best driver skill development sport out there. Back when there was ice. Remember ice? Those were the days.

THIS.

Hotels just need 19.2kW L2 chargers that we can reserve for overnight charging. Soon this will be the dealbreaker for your reservation, not the absence of a phone next to the toilet. Maybe toss a couple of overpriced 200-350kW chargers in the parking lot just to attract the rapid charge crowd.

Need a base model full size work van or truck for real actual work? You’re paying luxury prices.

5G uses the SAME frequencies at 4G for most usage. There is a 60ghz mode but that is just for super dense urban areas and is very short range. Like a couple of blocks and line of sight. 60ghz almost acts like light at those frequencies.

The FSD features are crunching 3d data about all the roads they are crossing. Even if you don’t subscribe to FSD, the car is actively mapping roads for collision avoidance and uploading data to Tesla to keep their information up to date.

Notice all the GM electric car news recently? My money is on the fact that they sorted out battery production issues and are currently scaling production as fast as they can.  That is why they all of a sudden back the new mileage standards. Their electric fleet will offset the mileage requirements.

Failed fuel pump on the KTM? Say it ain’t so.

Here in BC I’d happily take that for logging roads and simply accessing half of BC that isn’t paved. It’s fine to buy a off road truck like this to simply access fishing lakes and go on marginally maintained roads in the woods. I’ll save the real offroading for 2 wheeled machines and laugh at the ‘serious off road…

Great on chevy for hiring a ‘styling department’. I think this is the SUV that will also wear a Honda and a Acura badge (Honda already signed a deal for this), so I suspect they will be pressing GM hard to keep the quality control bar high.
