"Yes, in addition to the amazing new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and other gas-powered variants coming, we will offer an electrified and a fully electric, Ultium-based Corvette in the future. In fact, we will offer an electrified Corvette as early as next year." My battery operated toothbrush is...

Oh god, please let this idea die. tl;Dr: "we're gonna dance with who brung us" The capital expenditures, union contracts, the parts support for a 1989 560 SEL are just a few of the hundreds of reasons that this purchase would never, ever happen. M&A is long, messy, and costly. Ignoring the...

Agreed. "huge" like huge Everything from William Clay Ford Jr being the Chairman to their sense of time i.e. a year to ICE to the dealership model and too many more to list. Cultural knowledge and cultural momentum become ingrained in institutions. The thing about VW - as a contrast to...

Dilbert and Ford jokes aside. When you work at Tesla for 12 years and Ford asks you to come over two things are a given. First, Ford is doing this not because of some IP grab but because of culture and practice change. Second, Alan Clarke doesn't do this unless he gets at least some...

I took my eyes off the board.

Nationally, the Department of Transportation data shows that in 2018, Americans used nearly 3 billion gallons of gasoline running lawn and garden equipment. That’s equivalent to the annual energy use of more than 3 million homes. source: WashingtonPost (paywall usually) That's... mind-boggling...

I was cleaning up the yard yesterday and apparently I put a cover over the gas can months ago. No need to know where it is when you don't need it. I suppose I can try to give it away. My city and county are offering 1$/square foot (so $2 if they have the funds) to rip out my grass lawn and...

You missed the point of the "law". Journalists, like Betteridge, say that if you have the substance, then you assert the title. If you ask the question, then you don't have the substance. The issue had nothing to do with the answer to the question. Let's take it one step further. The...

I don't know which rant of Sandy Munro's it was, but he called out Toyota as the biggest lobbyist to stop EV progress. It's not surprising that the legacy feet dragging is global. They are being told to lower their topline revenue, incur significant capital and operational expenses, and the...

Yes, very much so. Here's a list of items that will not need engineers, parts manufactures, assemblyman or repair service personnel for Oil pump or filters Fuel pump, filters or fuel injection systems Air intake system Exhaust system Belts of any kind Air filters (outside of a/c) Muffler...

My biggest issue is safety, crash test, etc. My VW was a great car except that I was surely going to die if the drum brakes and front lack of anything meant I was going to crash. If money were no issue, then yes, this.

@TruckElectric that's a lot of articles for all the different companies. Anything about Tesla US?

LG is in the business in a lot of things so I wondered what LG's market cap is relative to GM. Apparently 27,565 Trillion, pretty nice, lol. Turns out it is about 22B in USD, whereas GM is about $82B.

I read "to advance motility". Need more :coffee:

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. Because there is politics in everything, that's why I'm asking.

I had a message deleted due to "NO POLITICS". I'm OK with that, this is your forum. I believe it was something about unions, votes, and Biden. I thought it was pertinent because it was about getting EVs supported. Are there some guidelines about what is too far? Is hard and fast or a...

Big 2.5... I mean maybe they don't want to have their feelings hurt so we have to say that they are a whole unit but no. Stellantis neé Fiat Chrysler Automobiles neé Chrysler Group neé DaimlerChrysler AG neé Chrysler (1998). Stellantis is based in the Netherlands, they have Fiat, Lancia, Alfa...

Regenerative braking is not the only way to charge a car, it's just the way you might happen to know. You could... I don't know... ask a question instead of popping-off. For example, is eddy-current enough to charge a car? I don't know, that's a good question. I get the idea behind arcimoto...

I love the jokes. Though I do see a purpose for this, RVs. I can't imagine a mach-E behind an RV but imagine in the RAV EV could have been charged by towing. It would be the de facto RV car, charge at the site or charge on the road. Another option I see is dead heading. If a Ford is rented...
