    Shell turned an old gas station into an EV-only charging hub with free WiFi and solar panels

    That's a good move by Shell. I use Shell gas exclusively for my 2 cars that require 93 octane because of the quality. As the tide turns to EVs, Oil companies will be well served to first add chargers to gas stations, and then eventually, follow this approach to completely convert some locations...

    Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz

    Wow, this fact shows how significant Tesla has become since its founding 19 years ago and the trajectory of the EV market. They have achieved an annual production of half of the number of cars as the well established company that invented the car 136 years ago. Even more impressive is that Tesla...

    Tesla plans to buy Mercedes Benz

    I seriously considered a Mercedes Benz and or a BMW as I'm in the luxury sedan stage in my life. I test drove a few and did a lot of research, including talking to current owners. Here's the problem with both brands as I see it. They are really nice cars, but the total cost of ownership is...

    DeLorean EV coming?

    Yeah, I saw that teaser. Very cool. They even set up a separate company for the project and hired some C suite executives, including Joost de Vries for CEO of the new division (from Karma). Rumors are flying around about details, but I'll wait for communication from DMC. It would certainly be...

    GM’s Super Bowl commercial, where’s Tesla’s?

    I don't watch the Superbowl, so I missed the ads. Thanks for posting it. Although I find Austin Powers movies entertaining, IMO, that gm ad was cringeworthy and didn't convey any message. {sarcasm on} Since gm is leading the transition to EV's, maybe Tesla should begin advertising to catch up...

    Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX EV

    Meh. It looks like a Porsche/Subaru mashup from the front, and a Volvo from the rear (which in my opinion is awful looking). To me, it doesn't even look like a Mercedes and is definitely not an inspired concept.

    Not TSLA but important development: Hyundai shuts down ICE R&D engine division

    Jeremy, I suggest you research this a bit more before posting these statements. I have read numerous books on the subject and watched several documentaries to get a sense of what happened. DeLorean was entrapped. Period. The government's case, including their evidence, didn't stand up to basic...

    Is GM putting 100% effort into EVs? NO! - new ICE engine introduced

    True. No argument from me, and I have 2 GM vehicles. Dodge is even worse in the trust department IMO. No legacy automakers are getting my business from my next vehicle purchase.

    Is GM putting 100% effort into EVs? NO! - new ICE engine introduced

    Well, to be fair, they are working on this. Reportedly is is due out this year. GMs Electric Vehicle Future | Performance (chevrolet.com)

    Tesla's AI Day Event Did A Great Job Convincing Me They're Wasting Everybody's Time

    I started reading and asked myself what is with this guy, and then scrolled to the bottom and sure enough it was written by Jalopnik. Figures. Here's the thing: Every time I drive, I'm already surrounded by people who are driving, but not driving, and they are not driving Teslas. They are...

    Toyota Prius Driver Pulled Over for Starlink Dish on the Hood, Surprised

    Apparently the Prius driver already tried turning right against an obstructed view judging by the damage to the passenger side of the car. Lol.

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Yes, recent versions especially the upper trim levels gradually added strength to the brand, and then Ford added the badge to an electric SUV/CUV, which is my point. I didn't say that it was. The parallel is that in both instances (1) the Mustang II and (2) the Mustang Mach-E, Ford strayed...

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    No worries. Given your age, I'm sure that the Mustang II is ancient history for you. But I'm only a few years older, and I remember the crappy car and the lasting negative brand effects very well. In fact, at an early car buying age, it turned me off from ever considering buying a Mustang. As...

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Yep, the automotive press is speculating, and using the popular Rally Yellow in their renderings. Heres the thing. In my opinion, it's not about how fast or capable an SUV/CUV is. It's about a manufacturer watering down a storied brand just to compete in the next hot trend. SUV's and...

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    Yeah, I get it. An ICE manufacturer hedged their sales bets with a new electric car by invoking the familiar brand recognition of their popular car. My opinion is that there's no imagination or innovation to that. It was the same tactic that GM used with their behemoth Hummer resurrection.

    Ford CEO On Mustang Mach-E Vs. Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race: “A Good Idea”

    I can't believe that Ford sullied the Mustang name by putting it on an SUV. Of course I always wondered if the Mustang GT Cobra was a horse, or a snake? And aren't horses afraid of vipers? Inquiring minds want to know. Will the hyper SUV version be called the Ford GT-E? ...sarcasm off... I...

    Model S Plaid Delivery Event

    That was a nice delivery event, and an awesome model refresh. Can't wait for the revised CT design reveal.
