  1. How much is that Escalade iQ SWB again? Cadillac needs to be careful NOT to overprice this brand new vehicle.
  2. I find it interesting that the name Challenger has been mothballed. Sure, if you look at history, the Charger was only a 2-door between 1965 and 1974. The fact that Dodge made the Charger a sedan shortly after the debut of the 300 was probably meant to boost sales, while the Challenger took on the old Charger coupe role of the muscle car era. Maybe Dodge can pull it off; only time will tell. As for an EV Charger, color me a little skeptical from a sales standpoint. Since when would an EV buyer cross-shop a Charger with a Tesla or a Lucid or a Rivian?
  3. Tesla aside, what car marque has been successful being an all-EV carmaker? Also, since Jaguar's greatest weakness has been poor reliability (especially in electronics!), how will any of this work out for them?
  4. It is so much easier to innovate when you have no legacy to hold onto. Ford and GM would prefer NOT to build EVs under any circumstances if their CEOs were completely honest about it. Stellantis too.
  5. Still requires about 30K miles to shrink your carbon footprint with an EV replacing an ICE vehicle. Why is it an individual's responsibility to clean up systemic messes?
  6. Why is the new Tahoe able to tow more weight than a new Suburban?
  7. Good video as always. Pickup trucks seem to have the most brand loyalty of all passenger vehicles, but for a time the 1994+ Ram was the trendiest pickup around.
  8. Thank you very much, trinacriabob.
  9. I understand, but for me to avoid those ads, I paid the membership fee so that I do not have to deal with them. $15 a year is quite a bargain.
  10. Why should FORD worry about EV sales if the sales are flat? What if European buyers prefer ICE engines, or would rather buy EVs from VW/MB/BMW/PSA? I fail to see why Dearborn should worry so much about EV sales there.
  11. Passing the written test was easy. The driving test was somewhat harder, but that was because the monitor insisted that 30mph really should be 25mph because he could not really see the odometer very well. That took a few days, but I did pass that test.
  12. Fair point about CEO compensation.
  13. Apparently the strikes called by the UAW are over. The UAW got their large pound of flesh from the Detroit Three, given the new leadership that called the series of strikes. Makes you wonder what would happen if there was no UAW getting in the way of almost everything.
  14. Good luck finding that anywhere in NA. You either get mild winters and brutal summers OR you get the reverse.
  15. Do the Chinese build EV cars to our government regulations for $25K (without tax credits)? And are they exporting them to the US or Canada right now? I don't think so (at the moment).
