What are they doing? The Silverado has 400 miles of range and more bodywork. Also they will never give the jarheads the 1000hp option. That is asking for trouble. Stick in the single rear motor from the silverado and bring up the range. 

Well hello there mister 5 legged elephant. I’m happy to see you too.

Maybe they should show some actual real world tests with those trucks fully loaded. Post full drive videos and mileage before and after.  They have a lot of bullshit to make up for.

GA Checkpoint Yamaha in Port Coquitlam BC refused to sell me a Tenere 700 without $3500 in shitty accessories I didn’ t want even though I was willing to do a several month pre-order. They ‘cried’ that they couldn’t make a profit on just the bike’.

A 25mph flying car is fine if you can take off from a designated area several blocks away and land close to your destination. It’s the commuter machine from hell. Who cares if it can only do 25mph on the ground? It will never get a full speed crash certification anyways.

“Market forces”

Just a reminder that Elon’s kid went trans and won’t talk to him. So this is how he is proving that he is still a man-child.

Many of those parts are rapidly becoming DRM locked. Anything with electronics can be software locked to only work when the dealer scan tool allows it. This is dangerous to consumer pocket books.

Here’s how to fix this. Give mechanics WIRED access to the system. Like how a scan tool works right now. Plug in a scan tool. Display and reset trouble codes. Test devices for troubleshooting purposes. Yes, we can cycle ABS control valves and do all sorts of things. These things are critical in bleeding your brakes…

Or just do a brake fluid bleed without flushing the ABS, then go out on some slippery roads and use the hell out of the ABS system. Bleed again and you are fine. Don’t get too worked up about what gets trapped in there.

As a licensed mechanic and former off road enduro racer my F800GS was just disappointing. I’m an aggressive rider and the bike would flex and move when ridden hard off road. I was constantly repairing the suspension as it degraded constantly.

When Canada gets rid of ship, you know it’s crap. They run those things into the ground (?). It’s like buying a used crown vic that was a cop car and then it was a taxi.

Contractor here. Sometimes I drive several hundred KM in a day. There is a big leap from your local building contractor to guys who service specialized machinery far and wide. Also, no one buys a vehicle based on the ‘average day’. You buy it based on the highest mileage day, and factor in a 80% capacity clapped out…

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.
