At least you can fix the GM pack by swapping a module. The Tesla pack is unrepairable trash if you have a single cell failure.

Alberta is full of lithium brine. When drilling for oil they kept finding it and going ‘huh, useless’ and tried a new well.

I just changed out my Stihl Kombi gas motor (takes all the yard attachments like a leaf blower and weed eater) and holy crap what an improvement. I challenge even the most die hard gas motor fan to spend 2 hours with this thing and then go back to a gas motor. It is just insanely better in every way. I spent an hour…

Upgraded suspension: good.

And I really wanted that new chevy electric truck too. So few companies will develop applications for this that it will be 100% pure trash. They should know by now that this is about as good of an idea as trying to launch a competing smartphone OS right now.

Clickbait math.

Not the first fire truck a self driving Tesla ploughed into.

Harley is doubling down on aging bikers that are rapidly getting past the ‘I have already bought my last motorcycle’ age. That’s ..um .. a business move.

A electric motorcycle charged by the average mix of grid power emits less co2 than if you ran the same distance, not including the extra calories you would need.

A Tacoma that can drive 50-80km on electric power alone? That would cover 85% of my driving. That means reducing fuel consumption by 85%

Hydrogen is a good idea for ships, trains and eventually aircraft. Professionally maintained and operated vehicles with leak detection and strict policies on leak repair.

If you are stealing the car, you can just slice open the plastic bumper with a utility  knife to get access to the wiring.

A ‘zero trust’ network is a great excuse for a auto maker to encrypt every single device in your car and make a car that simply can not be repaired without the dealer only scan tool. It would also render any aftermarket part useless. So anything CAN controlled would be dealer only.

GA Checkpoint in Coquitlam BC would only sell me a Tenere 700 with $3500 in accessories I didn’t want even if I offered to pre-order the next bike in half a year. (I’m a fabricator and am doing something custom). They cried that ‘they couldn’t make any money selling the bike so they have to sell it with all that…

Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul had the best car selection to fit the character of any tv show or movie. Period.

If they are smart, the ‘4wd’ system will actually be a e-motor where the front diff is. Scrap the conventional 4wd running gear, keep the weight down. Rely on a second electric motor coupled to the transmission for powering the rear wheels for torque similar to 4 low. Bonus points if it has 80km of plug in electric…

MAKE A ELECTRIC MID SIZED TRADES VAN, FORD.

Ever tinker with alcohol sensors? They are short lived devices and die within a year or two. This is absolutely a shitty tech that has no business being in regular consumer cars. Unless you have a previous DUI, there is NO reason to put a sensor in every car. This is just pointless regulation that DRIVES UP THE COST…

Ex mechanic here. Welcome to buying ‘early cars’. Anyone foolish enough to buy a first year car from an experienced makers knows this. Take a brand new car company making new tech and it will take 2-3 years to work the teething issues out.
