Really? Canadians are waiting for the Roadster? I must be the odd man out. I can't imagine spending all that money on a sportscar that I can't even drive in the winter, but a semi-affordable electric truck sounds about perfect to me. plenty of clearance and AWD, with seating and cargo space...
You are correct. I must have failed to clear the calculator from another calculation. Not sure how that ended up at that number. I will fix the original post. It is still a lot more than most people think they are capable of on their own. everyone assumes they are buying whatever is leftover...
The claimed 30GWh/year if divided into 150kWh packs = 200,000 [edited] cars per year, and they will be building a second factory in the USA for 2023. GM's battery plans are nothing to ignore.
Not everyone got in on day one of each reservation list.
For me, I have $100 deposits in on all 3, Ford, Chevy and Tesla. I really want the Tesla, but if Ford or Chevy can get one to me faster I will take that while I wait on the CT. ...maybe opting then for a later build of CT. Looks like I am...

or
b) the bus was rear-ended...
TBH I would be surprised to see ANY new car that doesn't have that feature. It has been a feature in cars for at least a decade now.
In my opinion, any car coming out now that doesn't have that option should be considered faulty.
Obviously this has nothing to do with Tesla and their FSD, but expect to hear about this as FSD is the first thing people think of when talk turns to autonomous vehicles...
Canada is considering revising the EV rebate program to include SUVs and Pickups coming out in 2022 and beyond.
The current federal rebate in Canada has a dollar value cutoff that would not allow any current EV SUVs or upcoming SUVs or pickups to qualify. They are looking at expanding...
Sail storage didn't look much different to me from the RamBox on Ram trucks. Dad had RamBox on his previous truck and liked it enough to buy it again on his new truck. TBH, I am kind of looking forward to the sail storage.
Most of the time when I see folks moving fridges they are in the middle of the bed on a regular truck, and held in place by a series of ratchet straps hooked to the rings in the corners of the bed.
