I will have to say I actually like this heavy metal version of Gilligan's Island theme song. https://youtu.be/9j_bGzpgFrM

Sadly all kids are affected by their parents, I hope he just does not become as narcissistic as his dad or brothers. He is starting with some other rich people a energy drink company. I wonder if he will actually try to grow it or as soon as he thinks he has gotten what money out of it, will abandoned it.

Valid points made, interesting read. Opinion: Move over, MAGA — it’s time to take America back

Wow, incompetent leadership truly has put the U.S. behind the world in EV tech. A battery pack equal to the density of gasoline. CleanTechnicaCATL Developing 12,000 Wh Per Kg Lithium-Air Battery - Cl...CATL said this week it is developing lithium air batteries that could have an energy density of up to 12,000 Wh/kg.Imagine a 3,600 mile battery pack equal to the size of today's 320-mile battery pack. The amount of weight they could drop by going with just a battery pack 25% the size of today's 100kW battery pack would still be a 900-mile range battery pack at 1/4 the weight.

Wow, Airbus has surpassed Boeing for the longest flight plane, over 11,000miles range or 10k nautical miles. Can anyone imagine being in coach for 22hrs. https://newatlas.com/aircraft/ultra-long-range-airbus/

American, European and Asian automakers just got put on notice by China. BYD’s $10,300 EV Gets LiDAR While America Still Treats It Like Luxury Tech - Autoblog Only auto's that have LiDAR are going to truly deliver self driving auto's. In a sad note due to INCOMPETENT Idiot47 and his administration as well as the Lemmings of GOP in the House and Senate.

Welcome to the iCar as Jony Ives was the designer and lead during production. He could not get his iCar produced at Apple and so he got Ferrari to do it in an overpriced way. Ugly as heck, but hopefully the experience of actually driving it is better than the look. @surreal1272 @ccap41 Ferrari should have released the auto as a Concept to get feedback from the public as this iCar is a styling failure. They could have take the Jaguar XJ220 and put in an electric powertrain and been far more successful than this iCar release they did without all the negativity it has generated. Does Ferrari need to go electric? YES Is this the right auto for them? NO Is the software and driving dynamic worthy of a Ferrari? Unknown

Having looked at all the images online, I have to say that the interior and exterior other than the color which I like is a let down and I would even say for a Luxury brand looks cheap.

Due to my tradeshow season, do not have the time till June to do any writeups, but Lexus has released their Luxury version 3 row SUV EV that Toyota released as the Highlander and Subaru also has. Clearly not connected to the ICE Spindale grill or as many of us called the Predator mouth. https://pressroom.lexus.com/all-electric-three-row-luxury-the-all-new-2027-lexus-tz/ The press release says 300 miles of range on Select Grade. Look at the fine print, this is a sea level level road, anything else is 250 to 280 miles of range. FAILURE Lexus / Toyota along with the 400V system.

Took a look at the details in the recommended setup from PSE (Puget Sound Energy) and they say the typical house uses 20 to 40 kW over night and then having a battery pack equal too plus 10% for EV charging. PSE is recommending a 150 kW battery pack of storage so that I would not pull from the grid. Tesla FAILURE, Promise, Promise, Promise, and never deliver. Roadster 2.0 with huge deposits and still no car. Tesla promised a Roadster with 0 - 60mph in 2.4 seconds. BYD, sexy as hell as they deliver this roadster sexy monster! 0-60mph under 2 seconds. BYD Denza Z: 1000hp electric hypercar convertible unveiled

I figure if I have storage, then I should pull from the storage at night rather than the grid and once the battery storage if filled, the surplus will go back to the grid during the day. Unless I am missing something.

Ahhhh, this reminds me of so many good movies. That building has been used in many movies. This years Tradeshow building has been Brutal. I will be so happy when this is all over and in June I can get back to having time to write stories for C&G. I have a part 2 that I need to complete on all the added details around the MAGMA GV60 as that auto is so cool with the tech. It puts both BMW M series and the Mercedes AMG series to shame. Korea has really stepped up their game in performance.

Here in Washington State, there are incentives to turn your roof into a complete Solar panel with storage and the county / state will buy back any excess. I have many coworkers who have done this and now just charge their EVs for free pretty much. As one that is planning a complete remodel of the house for retirement as the wife and I have decided to stay put till we are 6ft under, the one thing I will do is change the roof into a 45-degree angle with complete solar panels and storage. The assessments are showing that I will more than be able to power the whole house and charge my EVs with no pulling from the grid, but excess that I can sell back into the grid. EV is the future, Solar charging just makes it so much better.

Not surprised by this and would not be surprised if folks go over into Mexico and try to buy and drive back their Chinese auto. Texas border city is filling up with sleek Chinese cars that are illegal to buy in the United States What surprises me is I missed that Idiot47 has supposedly said if China wants to come in and setup factories and hire Americans, he is all for it. That is pretty much a death blow to American Auto Companies.

This is a 1yr old video I found that shows how much ahead China EVs are over the U.S. and Europe. Korea is the only country that is competitive right now, Japan is so far behind.
