From what I understand it is a combo of some battery chemistry and motor efficiencies but it’s largely due to other manufacturers requiring larger buffers for usable capacity because they actually care about long term survivability of their batteries. Tesla seems to be willing to accept a much shorter lifespan for…

Yeah, these guys were just a-holes.

I felt the same way when I chose my 2020 F150 over the Ram.

The Ram has a great design, but I could hear the piano black around the infotainment creaking just looking at pics online. That, and the analog gauges look like they’re straight out of a mid 90's Neon.

That said, Ford has it’s issues too...the glove box is…

True story: my 2020 F150 had a sticker price of $74,510 + tax. I paid $59,241 + tax in August with Employee pricing (I’m not an employee...it’s just a marketing gimmick).

Go to Europe...almost every model from every manufacturer has at least 3 petrol and 3 diesel options. Some now also have hybrid options on top of that.

Or how about the just column shifter they put in their base models....and the SuperDuties?

Why to auto journos list “expensive” as a con on every single full size pick up review?

The big 3 are all priced identically. Expensive is a subjective term but if all the referenceable models are priced equally then how could one be “expensive”?

If this is just a matter of “expensive” relative to all vehicles in…

What province are you in? In BC there is still all kinds of shady shit. Bought a new F150 in August on employee pricing....only to find a $995 Misc. F&I charge on the invoice (the invoice they refused to give me until 2 weeks after delivery). Was not disclosed at the time of sale, had to fight them back and forth with…

Why not just offer a better price in the first place? If dealers would just get on board with fixed pricing set by the manufacturer they wouldn’t have this problem.

Be honest: you come here for Raph’s bicycle posts don’t you?

LOLing that you think the engineers are making the call. You really have no clue how cars are designed and brought to market do you?

Yeah, I’m calling BS on this...that guy sleeping diagonally I’d guess is about 5'6 and still has one leg cocked up.

Uh, it has an 11,000 towing capacity. Not sure if that qualifies as “can’t do shit”.

You seem to believe that anyone who doesn’t use a truck they way you do must be default be a “douchebro”. How about towing your travel trailer and having a spot for the wet/dirty camping gear and the BBQ you probably don’t want in your…

Lol....tainted name amongst the internet commentariat who drive $3,500 Altima’s.

Anyone with the resources to buy one of these gives exactly zero fucks what the message boards say.

Uh, my point was the run was not fake...that the video was intended to make it look fake so they could generate more attention/PR.

You seem to be quite overly confident that this was in fact a fake run....relying on YouTube for science and facts is like listening to Trump for COVID19 advice. Do so at your own peril....

Flagship tech is never available on base trims, by any manufacturer (outside of Tesla).

You seem to be struggling to comprehend that it cannot be integrated in to existing platforms. It can only be made available on additional Caddy models once they refresh their underlying platforms.

The CT4 & CT5 run on the Alpha 2 pla…

Uh, the CT6 was on the Omega platform which was a brand new platform and the CT6 is the only vehicle to use that platform. The CT6 is also a single model, not a line up and to make a high end technology feature only available on top trims isn’t really shocking. Not really sure what you are getting at here?

And they did…

If the entire thing was always intended to be a “fake” this was incredibly expensive and so easily disprovable it’s really hard to believe that anyone would try it.

My other thought is the current controversy is entirely contrived and part of an orchestrated PR campaign to further generate attention. Not that the…

I would say both....on the 1-10 “how much does this impact my life?” scale this registers something like a -974

Uh....”I know nothing of what I’m finding out online...”

For the driver who conducted the run to say he knows nothing other than what he is finding out online is nonsensical. he was there, how could the web be his only source of information. Much more likely is he is stating he knows nothing of any kind of conspiracy…
