Until we can provide genuine economic opportunity for folks, this will become increasingly common. I like modern cars that are as invisible as possible...invisible to vandals, thieves, cops, aggressive drivers, people with attitudes...my current idea of Luxury is a grey Lexus that blends in, soft leather and a decent stereo, and drive the damn thing. I DO like the style of modern Cadillacs, but they would be a lease and return thing for me, as I don't want to deal with GM electronics or drivetrains as a vehicles ages. It makes sense that they crush them, liability and they don't want other teams getting their engineering thought process. -

Interesting, but I totally get it, who cares about the badge if you get the technology, comfort and performance you want. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/buying/76-of-drivers-say-luxury-badges-aren-t-worth-it-anymore-here-s-what-they-want-instead/ar-AA20Hs8L?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W069&cvid=69f12a480b1645319bc420ef729815ff&ei=61- 1

I agree a hundred percent. EV tech applied to bikes, this is amazing...but seven grand. Remarkably close to what every rigid 80s and 90's MTB steel bike was. We get the formula right and then lose it in the name of god knows what. Cool video, cool channel, and too bad you can't buy this here.- 1

I love the clean '04 GT (that looks like the anniversary badge for an '04). I'm a sucker for that gen, even though they're kind of a black sheep of Mustangs. -

Obviously, but I'd think you could cut 200 miles worth of range on the battery pack and save hundreds of pounds making it just a more overall efficient vehicle and still yielding 700 miles of range. As I said to David, I'd remove as much battery pack as the engine weighs so it would be a net 0 gain in weight and you'd still have a sh!t ton of range yet it would be more efficient at achieving those miles. I'd assume it would be similar to my guesstimated numbers above.- 1
