Let’s say that Tesla gets the Texas plant finished in 18 months from now (seems like a stretch, but hypothetically speaking), and they have suppliers working on building/validating the tooling while the plant is being built, but moving the tooling requires revalidation so add another 2 months, the earliest they could…

Right, but it doesn’t change the fact that the midgate in the Avalanche made it incredibly versatile and utilitarian. Regardless of if the customers used them or not. I think a midgate on the Hummer pickup turns it from more of a gimmick to an actual usable truck. 5ft bed and seating for 5 when you’re cruising around…

I genuinely really like the Rivian and I hope it does well because I think they did a good job in design/capability. That being said, I’m skeptical that the startup will meet that timing. I’m more apt to believe that GM will get the Hummer out to customers before Rivian based solely on the fact that GM has the…

Yeah, because GM is definitely in the business of breaking even. The halo vehicle has to come out first to fund the fleet sales/base versions

Don’t forget that the avalanche had, and it looks like this new Hummer will have, a midgate. So the short bed isn’t a big deal when you can fold the seats down and remove the back glass to extend the bed. This whole thing is more useful than the Bronco or the Gladiator.

Why would they not cross shop this? And when do Rivian and Tesla start building their trucks for production?

That must be why they still made them until 2013

Uh, no. The Avalanche/Escalade EXT was a BOF truck, just like the SUVs they were based off of. I think you mean that the bed and cab need to be one piece, which is true, but like I said they’re based off of SUVs, not pickup trucks

Did you say the Canyon/Colorado is old? The 31xx platform came out in 2015 lol 5 years isn’t exactly old. It’s getting there, but don’t lump it in with the 25 year old Savana/Express

You failed to mention how along with the second quarter results, GM also announced that it’s employee salary deferral of 20% is ending come August 1st and salaries will return to pre covid amount, and the deferred 20% will be paid out with a 6% interest in October.

With a price range at $700-1000, why get a Squier when you could just get an actual Fender? A Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster can easily be had in that price range, as well as purchasing a decent amp. My first electric was a Strat and if I were to go back, I would have gotten a Telecaster instead (tastes change with…

getting rid of the i3 and teasing some concept cars with no real production release date, all while also showing fuel cell concepts and future products, is a stretch to consider it “getting serious.”

This one is almost identical to the one my dad had and really brings back a lot of memories.

Yeah I see your point, but I also think of the G-Wagon. Brands evolve. 25 years ago, you never would have thought of an SUV as being Cadillac’s “brand”. 25 years ago, you never would have thought the Eclipse would be a crossover. Things change
