Almost no way to communicate in NYC through copper or cell towers had to have been the worst part for family and loved ones.

Yes, sir I sure did plan that! Wow, quite the story and a very moving one at that brother. It really was a horrible day for the country and those of us who love this country. I hear you, I was sad then angry as well.

How's this Caddy front-end grab ya? BEAST 2.0! 💪🏼 👍🏼👍🏼

Remembering all those lost 19 years ago today, including the innocent civilians and the heroic first responders in NYC, the Pentagon and the PA field. I remember I was getting ready for the day in a Sacramento hotel room while in the middle of moving to Dallas, TX. Called the family and started my way back home. The scene of the twin towers on the News that morning was so unreal and chilling at the same time. God Bless the United States of America!!!

Yeah, the guys are trying to figure out where the extra bolts go that they have

I was pretty young, but remember parts of the Mt. St. Helen's eruption. Grew up about 75 mi. (as the crow flies) from it. Pictures my Mother took of it in the distance were ominous for sure. Those Wildfires are getting a bit problematic up that way. There was one that started near the Columbia Gorge when I was home last month, light smoke and haze made it to the Willamette Valley where I was. Nor. Cal has red skies during the day it's so bad there.

Makes sense with the Livery Leader XTS production ending. Aftermarket builders will probably make versions of the CT5 as well. CT6 Super Stretch is a gorgeous limo with the gull-wing middle doors. Just...WOW.

The whole Eastern Seaboard and Midwest are pretty bad in the Summer for sure. Been to Annapolis, MD in August it was horrible, probably 80% hum. and people were still out jogging around. They must have been training for a marathon getting lungs in shape with thick air or they were just nuts haha.

Ugh crazy FL humidity. HS buddy of mine lives in Melbourne, FL, from Oregon as well, says he's done after12 years of it and both of the huge Atlantic hurricanes last few years extensively damaged his house. Says Bend/Sun River, OR could be next move. Wow, I heard the So. Cal coast was still cool in 80's and hotter more inland. I know Palm Springs hit a record of 120. Death Valley hit 130 last month, broke a 1913 record. Craziness! Yep, DEN went from 95F and sunny on Tuesday to 35F and snowing on Wednesday. Get out the Winter clothes!

Dude...that's brutal humidity when in the mid 80's!! Now think of how Floridians feel with 84F and 90%+ hum. Ugh...

Think y'all up there met or even beat us in the SW today! It was 68F this morning and only 91 today with only 20% hum. Much different in PNW when 90+ with the humidity, was just there last month and it hit triple digits and upper 90's a few days in a row definitely makes it seems much hotter when 35%+ hum. It was even 111 in Sacramento last weekend which is unheard of. Dangerous for the poor peeps with no A/C!

Very obvious why Nikola needs GM as a partner for their new Ultium battery packs coming out on BEV3 and BT1XX...

Pretty good idea to get kids hook on their product as young as possible. GM knows how to draw in and retain loyal followers from a young age and this shows just one way they can do it.

Ending ICE sales in India by 2030 is never going to happen, solid ambition though. India's lack of a decent electrical grid with constant power outages would be a huge problem with several different union and state owned supply grids that don't meet the high demand requirements for 69k more Commercial EVSE stations. Even large cities like Mumbai don't have a way to supply the necessary infrastructure that they would need to end ICE sales. Grid issues in India have been going on for years and I don't see much that has changed today.

It's a mix of AC and DC motors in BEV's, Tesla and GM use both, sometimes at the same time. 3-Phase AC Induction traction motors are lighter, but more expensive (due to the large copper windings) and are better for high performance cars because they operate more smoothly than the brushless DC Permanent Magnet motors, but AC-I are generally less efficient than DC-PM. The GM EV-1 had 3-Phase AC Induction motors and the Chevy Volt had 3-P AC-I motors as well, but the Chevy Bolt uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) that's similar to a brushless DC Permanent Magnet motor. GM BEV3 (Cadillac Lyriq, Celestiq, next gen. Bolt and others) and GM BT1XX (GMC Hummer EV, Silverado EV and others) off the T1XX are going even further so should be interesting. This is why GM expanded the interior dimensions of the bed walls of the T1XX trucks, you can see where they made room for the Ultium battery packs in future BT1XX trucks. Tesla actually uses both AC and DC in the "D" dual motor cars. They use what they call the "permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motor" (PMSRM) also similar to DC Perm. Mag. Model S and X use 3-P AC-I in the rear and PMSRM in the front on "D" models, but the Model 3 uses 3-P AC-I in the front and PMSRM in the rear. DC-PM motors generally produce more torque but are heavier, so it has to do with weight distribution as well. All batteries are DC (Direct Current) that will never change. https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/2016-01-1228/ https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-platforms/bev3/ https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-platforms/bt1/ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2019/04/motor-technology-from-model-3-helps-tesla-boost-model-s-range-10/

And you @David think the new Silverado 1500 is ugly? WOW. This smorgasbord of a monstrosity is all over the place, I see Chevy, Ford, Dodge and maybe even some Nissan Titan all Frankensteined together. I'm not anti-EV like you think, but I do think a truck should sound like a truck with a proper V8. I'd rather have the EREV 800 hp VIA XTRUX with the GM Voltec setup and still have a V8, best of both worlds.

Very old info., nearly 1.5 years ago with first two articles, might as well be 15 years ago with what's going on in 4 or 5 of the "Top Ten" cities on the list. Even the Bankrate write-up from this February is way out of date already. Keep diggin'!

That makes sense. Is it only 6 more hp with the 5.3 on E85? GM has it hard coded in ECM for mpg's over the 6.2 for sure. Even a tune and CAI in the 5.3 you won't get the response that the 6.2 does, but it still wakes her up, you can also disable V-4 and it sounds good with CAI.

It is noticeably quicker on E85, my '09 Silverado 6.2L Flexfuel I had pulled harder up the hill I lived on when the loud pedal was smashed running E85 compared to even Premium 93. But like your chart shows she's a bit thirstier running on Ethanol -15. I would see single digit mpg avg. if I was out on a mission running errands.
