No doubt they’ll have a Genesis version of this for +$20K to compete in the $100K luxury EV-SUV club.

You have qualified for the Jalop Dad Medal. 👍

But what if I need to bring home a case of toilet paper from Costco or like Home Depot / Yard Work something...? How’s *that* going to fit unless I got my F250 powerstroke!?

PLS follow @AndyKalmowitz for car content and Jets misery.

I’d be excited to be picked up by one of these when I hailed Uber Black. I’d be really disappointed to get up every day and have to drive one of these on my daily commute.

I’ve heard of Google, but why use google when you can still use Lycos?

FWIW radar weighs ~100-200 grams.

What luxury stuff? They’re just upgrading the ND2's ~8 yr old tech with whatever the basic off-the-shelf stuff is from their other lineup.

100% agree!

Pretty sure this is 100% not true. They have sensors in the pavement usually. The ‘sensitivity’ of how fast the light changes is probably fully programmed at the box on the side of the road — it’s not a matter of a better sensor knowing you’re there, just the timers / programming in the box.

For that matter, they should just make all red lights just flash red all the time so you never have to wait?

Who cares what the people think? The automotive corporations will tell you what you want when/if they figure out that they can make more money by monthly payments for an AV vs. an owned car.

I think we are a decade or less than better than a drunk uncle self-driving cars.

Here they seem to give Wagoneer the same status as Alpha, Dodge, Jeep, etc, but I understand they won’t be creating dedicated Wagoneer dealers (lol)

Note the orange arrow.  This is the maximum off-road distance of the average owner of a Silverado ZR2.  After all, sometimes the parking lot is full at the local high school football game and you got to go park in the gravel lot or grass field.

Yeah it seems like there was a *major* failure in long term planning at Stellantis. They even added a brand recently (I didn’t realize that Wagoneer is a *brand* not a Jeep)

Wow I commented too soon above — that’s crazy. I know a couple people who bought these luxury trucks at work. I wonder the Rivian will end up being like a Fisker Karma to maintain...  or maybe Tesla will buy them and use it to actually compete in the pickup truck space!

Yeah this was my question — are they literally losing money on manufacturing and raw materials or is this just an issue of:

While the EX30 is a Chinese-made CUV, the Zeekr X has a wheelbase of 2750mm. The EX30 is 100mm (4 inches) smaller than the Zeekr, so it’s not simply rebadged.  Maybe they have multiple versions of the same platform?

It’s a joke, note the Infinity EX35 CUV above.  It was also a near-luxury CUV with a base price in the mid-$30K range, although it is not a compact vehicle like the Volvo.
