Well said. That was my take too. As far as Tesla and Musk are concerned, (coming from a non-Tesla customer and a non-BEV owner), I saw Tesla as the head and shoulders leader in BEV. Now that the tipping point is upon us, competition is on the horizon and approaching fast. That is a good thing...

Cool. I remember seeing four wheel steering for the first time in 1988 on a Honda Prelude: As with the Hummer. the Prelude in the video was white too.

I was referring to a longer term study that hasn't been written yet because the post-Covid experience hasn't happened yet. As far as near term monthly sales reports go, yes, used car sales are up as that is what people buy when they need transportation if they can't afford/get approved for a new...

Aside from the gradual ramp up of EVs in the years since 2017, another study that would be worth seeing is the usage of EV and ICE vehicles pre-covid, during, and post-covid. I have seen a sea change to virtual formats (when possible). I know in my situation, vehicle use has dropped...

Love Will Ferrell. Hey "gm", that's pretty forceful for an aspiration. ?

Agreed. Of course the corporate speak was carefully worded, but an "aspiration" is apparently not what the market/media heard. They heard "all electric...2035" Here's the actual phrase: "In addition to GM’s carbon goals, the company worked with the Environmental Defense Fund to develop a...

I remember being impressed by the Volt concept in 2007 and waited for it to arrive: ...only to be disappointed at the production version. Even my wife didn't want me to buy it because it wasn't as cool as the concept. Then GM only had one or two Volts per dealership, usually in the back of the...

That may be technically true, and fans of the hatchback segment would know those design nuances, but the casual observer sees them as looking the same. Here is a good visual in the SUV/Crossover market to illustrate my point. If you take away the color and wheel differences, one would have a...

For a couple of examples, when I see a CRZ, I think of the Ford Fiesta ( or Focus) or Hyundai Veloster. Again, no offense intended. To each their own as they say. CRZ: Ford Fiesta: Hyundai Veloster:

Yes, I did. No offense intended, but Honda's design language has always been boring to me, except the Gen 1 NSX. The author called it "understated", but I'm not one to buy a car that you can lose in a mall parking lot among hundreds of similar looking vehicles.

I personally never use "Exciting" and "Honda" in the same sentence.

That's pretty cool.

Well, there were a couple of reasons. There were a handful painted while the company was still going to test paint methods on stainless. Later, after the company failed, some dealers painted a few cars at customer's request, or as an attempt to sell them. The rest were painted by the owner to...

Cool. Yes, I saw that one. There was also one made in yellow.

My mistake. Although, would the issues at Lathrop facility 2 years ago have concided with the Model 3 "Production Hell" phase the company endured? As I recall, it was a make or break time to prove to the Street that they could ramp up production and hit their their estimates. Musk was in the...

Wait a minute. The OP said the people passing out and ambulances were from a different company, that it was 2 years ago and the company resolved the issues. OP, do you have any credible facts about this situation to share? I wouldn't want us to jump the gun based on rumor.

Agreed, as long as they build them in Germany. I liked the VW's that were built in Germany, but the ones that were made in Mexico were not as good. This was my favorite made-in-Germany VW (circa 1992): My brand new 1997 Jetta which was made in Mexico didn't have the same feel of quality...

Yes. I have to laugh at the term "clean diesel". Saying that is like saying "healthy cigarettes". I owned a total of 7 VW's in my early adulthood and one of which was diesel. Man that thing smelled bad. I know diesels have their place in heavy equipment, but VW using that dirty fuel to lower...

It's awesome to witness the tipping point towards electric vehicles.
