Any idiot knows a 3500 (Ford, Ram, Chevy/GMC) is not lithium battery powered. We don't need to do to Ford what they do to Tesla. We're above that I hope.

Love it! Thank you!

Diess will be running Giga Berlin soon......... he's no idiot.

This is the same CEO who APPROVED investing $2.2 beelllllioooonnnn into Nikola. Nikola! A company with no real technology. If I was on GM's board of directors I would have called for Mary Barbra's resignation. Mary Barbra is desperate and will say anything she needs to give the directors...

We definitely want pictures and ride report! I had buddy with a big wheel mini bike as a kid. We rode that thing the swamps, places that a dirt bike would not have gone. My neighbors have a Yamaha BW200 that I've ridden a bunch

I don't see the attraction to "big wheel" motorcycles. They really don't do anything well. Not nimble, not fast, don't handle well at all. Maybe they do okay in a swamp. The Volcon looks kinda cool and fun, though

Good article. Make more sense with that explanation.

I've never been to a dealership where the people selling the cars know more about the car (or cars in general) than me. The average car dealership is really struggling. Revenue is decreasing on the cars (due to the OEMs), people can't afford to pay for repairs outside of warranty because the...

Damn, you bring up a HUGE selling point! We can charge our Altas from the Cybertruck, and at 240v, with no generator to haul around or get swiped at the trailhead! BTW, to the person that mentioned the weight of the electric motorcycles...... the Alta is around 260, about 30 pounds more than...

I have an Alta. Hands down best motocross bike I've owned, and certainly the fastest. Absolutely love it.

Well, you have a valid point. That is to say, "someone" is going to be excited to hear this news. And not that I didn't get excited.... but I was really hoping the caller was from Tesla! THAT would have been huge. Of course, I would have had to sign a NDA, but still.

Today at work I got a call from a company looking to move "Wide, heavy, high-end electric vehicles". From the number I knew the caller was in California. My mind immediately envisioned the CT prototypes or mules rolling off the Fremont prototype production line! I started asking roundabout...

Wow! What are the chances that @cannon_gray and @Forrest White can't spell the make of the car they drive? And they misspell the same way? Again, Gordon Johnson, it's spelled P-O-R-S-C-H-E.

This is old news. Eight months old news. Eight months is not "recently". Further more, it's not clear that Article 9 in the Starlink Terms of Service weren't some kind of joke. International law applies in outer space per the International Space Treaty. By the way, you spelled your...

The 2CV is almost as iconic as the Beetle! And almost as old...

We all know that you can improve handling and performance by reducing unsprung weight. It's a given. If you're not really concerned about handling at speed, then it doesn't really matter much. Hub motors are super simple compared to, say, an axle shaft, differential, gears, motors, etc. The...

Diamond Like Coatings, know as DLC, have been used on diesel injectors for over a decade. I can say the VW TDI I had needed new injectors at 260k miles, I bought new injectors with DLC on them and they were still on the car when I sold it at 600k. So, DLC is a thing.... no idea if a product...

VW is going for the Free Marketing, ala Tesla. As they say, there's no such thing as bad press. Even Dieselgate didn't really slow down VWs sales significantly.

Warranties offered by OEM's is a function of board room decisions; "What monies are we allocating to warranty work?" Here's a simple argument that Tesla should offer the best warranty; No Dealerships. The OEM pays to the dealership their retail labor rate plus a percentage markup on parts to...

That was awesome. I own an ex-Greyhound, a 1964 GM PD4106. I don't think I'm allowed to admit here that I love the sound of that supercharged 2 stroke diesel engine......
