holy shit how have we not had an article on that wonderful car?

from an economic time/value perspective, private jets make a lot of sense to corporations for their c-suite.

6500 for an antique (25 year old) 2wd truck with full design life mileage? normally a total crack pipe for me..

actually, if you look at the 1949 pickups, the only difference was the grill and the tailgate

yup.  GMC prints money by just being marketed as more premium than cheby without any actual increased costs

I’m fine with it happening, and will buy one once the charging infrastructure is better than farcical.

GMC always had a prettier grill but that was about it. the interiors were exactly the same even.

I had an ‘82ish 4x4 stepside with the 305 and saddle tanks back in the day.

my wife’s family is nowhere near I-94. the nearest high speed charger (level 3) is over 90 miles away, and given how cold it gets in ND, electric cars are going to have a hard time there regardless.

did you not read my post? it could be 2 hours a weekend easily, 10 times a year. all it would take is having to wait for access to the one and only charger at the typical NY rest stop and the “30 minute charge” becomes an hour.

GMC anybody? they are exactly the same as the Chevy’s but with a $1-5k markup and a slightly less hideous grille.

came for this (and the A cars too) 

many model airplane tubines use propane, alcohol or other non-kerosene/jet-a fuels.

did I say it didn’t have merit? no. I said it was not ready for primetime.

ok, so you got the large capacity tank.  the standard F-150 tank is 23 or 26 depending on trim level.

I never drive _to_ the gas station.  I stop at one of the 10 that are directly on my commute route once every week and a half, spend 4 minutes gassing up and continue on my way.  total time dealing with fueling is still less than having to plug the car in every night.

I get that my use case is somewhat off nominal, particularly in the northeast where I live. but go west young man. a weekly 400 mile drive out there is not uncommon.

yup, and when chargers are as ubiquitous as gas pumps, and you can rely on getting one of these unicorn high speed chargers, then I will be the first to get one.

fuck off.

the 10 minute charge discussed is a science experiment and requires design changes to batteries and battery packs to work
