I would use one when they come down market. I have a Colorado ZR2. I can take it offroad, but I find it much easier to make repairs to my Wildcat Sport when needed (company discounts and all) than a much more expensive DD. An E-pickup could be a DD year around, as I only have a 3 mile worth of commute a day. During…

I see. I still think that they have a market in a 200-300 mile range bare bones vehicle. The government could use them like crazy. If I were to start farming, I could see it as a vehicle. I started looking at approximately how much we drive trucks/semis and realize that for most of the trips that an electric could…

I was reading an article on GM because I have friends who work there, and I own their product. It just so happened they mentioned this goal, and someone said how good it was.

I bet every Tier 1 supplier will be making the parts just the same.

Never know, he could get 4 more years. Don’t discount anything. I mean every news outlet told me that former Secretary Clinton would be President when I went to vote.

but most foreign vehicles are made stateside...

0 crashes especially. There is no feasible way for that to happen in the near term.

0 accidents/crashes is impossible. You might drive towards 0, but you will spend trillions upon trillions to achieve 0.

I wish that some of these “new” companies would keep it simple. One of the biggest cripes I have with modern cabs/cabins is the lighting given off by massive screens. I run tractors and my ‘17 Colorado with the light turned to a minimum all night. The John Deere screens for GPS will let me turn them to pure dark if I…

That is with the $7.5k tax credit. If that goes away the price goes back to the original price.

Depends on the voltage system because I bet the rules talk about wiring and battery securing for a 12V system (although likely not mentioned as 12V). The question is what do you call a motor? An alternator is more of a generator, the starter couldn’t power it for a lap, the wiper motors? Power window motors? Blower…

Aux... was the first giveaway that you left stuff out. They need a primary to have an Aux fuel system.

Nah, the fuel is for propulsion. Electricity propels the Model 3, where as spark with 0 fuel doesn’t nothing for an ICE. You could bump the starter, but not finish a race.

Read the rules... per the rules it should not have passed tech. Were first responders well versed in handling an electric vehicle after a crash?

Rules... It all comes down to rules. If it is not stated in the rules, it doesn’t stand. Upset, get the rules changed, but as they stood the driver didn’t use an appropriate fuel.

Yeah, sure... Add $9k to get the tech package for even the most trivial options. My raptor spec should have been $55-56k, due to the tech package it was mid to upper 60s. With that I am doing just fine with my ZR2, over 25k miles on it so far.

You called it a treaty. If it isn’t a treaty which it appears not to be, don’t call it that. If it is a treaty it requires Congress.

They do... its called the Camaro

lol. Mulitmatic building the C8 mid-engine... highly doubtful. Considering that Multimatic runs/helps part of Ford’s GTLM program I don’t see GM doing that where they have the team at Pratt & Miller Engineering (down the road from GM Proving Grounds) who has been designing, building, and racing the Corvette Racing…

Are you sure? I can’t remember if there was a Congressional vote on it... The President can approve a treaty, but needs Congress for it to be enacted. The whole checks and balances. If it wasn’t ratified, it wasn’t a full treaty.
