We're still in 2022. Making a prediction about the most important EV of the 2020s...??!? I'll take the under. I own a Model 3, I want a CT and I wouldn't be surprised if the most important EV of the 2020s is still on some drawing board somewhere. The most important EV will be the one that...

When he says they should increase the price, I wonder how much of the pricing kerfuffle he was aware of. "Boys and girls, they will be raising the price"

This is the most straightforward comparison I've seen yet. No FUD, just a newest information to date. Refreshing.

My blood reaches a nice simmer, low boil whenever I think about all the options I would have to finance. I'm not even buying a Ford and I still get cranky about it. The above example of a $52K vehicle with $20K of accessories and upgrades. Better be some explicit stuff in that upgrade bundle!

When I see a contractor who is going to haul, they generally have a big ass 2500. The traditional Silverado is a light-duty half ton. I'm curious if they are even going to try and get anywhere near the CT spec which are borderline MD or if they are going to play it safe with their world...

Sorry to be a bore, "Et tu, Brute" is what Caesar said to Brutus in Shakespeare play. Caesar says as he gets shanked by the Senators. Caesar thought Brutus was his friend and he's showing his surprise of the betrayal. Caesar was being more and more of a jackass and he was still surprised when...

There was a thread, don't remember which, where the amount of buttons was widely discussed... for awhile... more opinions about buttons than I thought existed so it was a riff on that thread.

I think all EV comers and Rivian should send Tesla a thank you card. Tesla had shown it can be done ??? Rivian is worth $100B No first line, no profit. Sure, I'm bending the truth to prove a point. In reality, Amazon and the investment* bankers set the valuation, go shopping for investors...

I'm guessing your asked the following more out of a desire for cooperation or at least some decency and respect. It may have been purely rhetorical. I thought I'd answer it anyways. Research suggests that the only prerequisite to create animosity or negativity is to be a part of a group with...

Between the goggles and vest in the thumbnail then the uncombed hair and wrinkled shirt, I was already down. Historical intro, ad spot, then he says "Tezla". Cringe factor rising. 5 minutes to even get to the contenders. I couldn't finish it.

I split this quote by color (apologies if it doesn't show up nicely for you, works for night theme). I think everything after the first part is besides the point. If you don't have access to the product, no car, no review, no job, no money. The rest of the benefits are just flexing from the...

Today I learned that CCS is short for Combined Charge System and can support up to 200amps. Rivian uses this type. Rivian is also in trouble...with autocorrect on Swype keyboard. So far Rivian has been autocorrected to the following: rubbish, trivial, Tiguan, Digital, richen, trivia's, and...

Those attach points are part of the "off-road package" and cost 2K iirc from speccing one out recently.

I was getting my Prius serviced and saw the beaute (Toyota 4Runner 4x4venture package) for sale by dealer for 50K. We talk about the CyberTruck giving after the truck market. This price tag and offering got me thinking about how many people will choose a CT over a traditional SUV. I have...

One (unfortunate) fact is that dinosaur juice (everything from leaded gas to JP7 and everything in-between) has more energy per mass than batteries. The result is that you'll have to recharge more often in an EV than you would in a diesel. Financially cheaper, but you will have to recharge...

"JD Powerhammer, JD Powerrod"

While everything this guy said had some kernel of truth, it doesn't actually matter. Ford has its culture of yearly iteration. Tesla iterates whenever it wants but will not change the exoskeleton. Put differently, the two vehicles that are being compared are not going to define the future of...

"We will leverage our vast knowledge and decades of automotive manufacturing experience to realize the EV future" Translation: We tried the Fiat e500 and Chrysler Pacifica hybrid, guess we're all in and hope they don't call our bluff.

Ford would like to have a word with you. FordPass SmartLink Upgrades (yes, that's the actual name) are available for some Ford makes as old as 2010. They will be using a Google OS in their cars in the future. They had a automotive version of Windows in their car since 2008. Will the...

400 pounds of concrete mix in the frunk... Ha, haha, hahahahahahaha, omg please stop. Seriously suggest wandering around the the site if you haven't yet https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/f150-lightning/2022// One of the things I noticed over and over was "Let's give a name to a thing as an...
