Been Busy helping my son who bought a fixer upper house to move his growing family into. The best I have been able to do is run both the Escalade and SS through a new Touchfree auto wash system near my house and it did an outstanding job. $18 gets you an under-carriage wash, Power wash rims and then a multi-stage wash with two different soap soaks and then a tri-color wax, rainX application and one other thing I forget, but I felt for the money it was worth it as both autos are shinny and clean.

Thank you Drew.

Discussions about the EV dedicated show rooms such as Tesla, Rivian, and more. My Local Ford Lincoln dealership was always in one place with Lincoln no more than a foot note compared to the Ford Auto's. Lately Harrison Ford Lincoln has started construction on a dedicated EV Lincoln Show room. Will have to grab some pictures and post them. Excited to check it out. Lynnwood Porche is a new dealership and I see they were installing the Chargers front and center to the dealership this week. Will have to also grab some pictures and post them. Excited to check out the New Rivian dealership that is opening soon by me so I can actually test my large size body in one.

Interesting to read the story on his death and it seems strange when you read about it, I think there was more to his death than anyone will every know. John Denver's Death And The Story Of His Tragic Plane Crash (allthatsinteresting.com)

Fisker Joins Others to Adopt Tesla's NACS Charging :Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Fisker
Awesome to see more are adopting this to take away another excuse by the EV haters that you cannot charge an EV. This is also good news to see additional vendors get approval to built the NACS ports and cables. Tesla issues license to Volex to build NACS connector | Electrek -

Crazy how various publications think there is something up with GM due to delays in production of EVs. Overall, I think GM is taking a proper cautious approach to introducing new EVs and getting it right from the start. General Motors Outlines Ultium-Based BEV Rollout Plan For H2 2023 (insideevs.com)

Love the looks especially in Black Cherry, interior is a home run hit for me. Failure is the rear end and the taillights. WTF Cadillac, you should have kept the current Escalade taillights.

Got my first Amazon delivery from the Rivian van. Love how quiet they are. But wow, very big.

And people at these charities wonder why younger generations do not give as much. Debt due to education and other expenses and the hounding of the Charities constantly asking for more money.

Chevrolet News:Ultium Bolt Announced by Chevrolet
G. David Felt replied to G. David Felt's topic in Chevrolet
They actually nailed it on the head for the 5 things the Ultium BOLT needs. Chevy's Ultium Bolt will need these 5 things to be successful | Electrek Fast NACS Charging - Ability to have up to 350kW charging speed, but at least half of the battery can handle 150kW charging allowing for fast 20 min charge ups. RWD/AWD powertrain option. Reminded that GM showed off in 2020 Battery day a 50HP electric motor that could be used in an AWD compact size EV to allow for traction and stability in foul weather. Keep the HOT Hatch Proud, Bolt is a Hatch, Bolt EUV became an SUV, not everyone wants a SUV. Improve the good of the BOLT, do not remove them to make it cheaper. Dealer Improvements - The first I do not think is needed by making an EV division of sales seperate from ICE sales. Train them to be knowledgable on both. The second I do totally agree with, all Chevy Dealers should have DC Fast chargers required, none of this Level 1 and or 2 charging BS. They point out that Ford has made it mandatory for all EV dealers to have DC fast chargers on the lots, no level 1 or 2 chargers. -
Cool to see that the Ford F150 Lighting EV truck production line is back up and running with a 300% increase in production and a 3rd shift coming to the plant.

Lately I have seen a growing trend of worse offenders in not paying attention to driving and holding up traffic. Pretty much Tesla, Prius, BMW and Mercedes drivers are the worst at focusing on their only responsibility in that they are driving, pay attention to the road, not your phone.

EVgo / GM partnership Produce 1,000th DC Fast Charging Stall
G. David Felt posted an article in General Motors
Starting off August for GM and EVgo is the fact that a signed agreement in 2020, expanded upon in 2021 has led to a growing collaboration between the two companies in development and installation of FAST DC charging stalls in major metro markets. To date the agreement between GM and EVgo is for 3,250 DC fast charging stalls to be installed and managed by EVgo as part of GMs Ultium fast charging network. Todate, the companies have installed DC Fast charging stalls in 230 locations in 39 markets covering 27 states of the EVgo 350kW chargers. Cathy Zoi, CEO of EVgo had the following to say in the press release: As one of the preferred EV charging point operators, this continues to grow the Ultium Charge 360 initiative that GM is funding to expand public charging access. This 1,000th DC Fast charging stall was opened at the Woodridge, Illinois, Woodgrove Festival Shopping mall. EVgo released that on June 12, 2023 they would support the NACS charging connector in the EVgo charging stalls joining GM and many other auto companies in offering NACS charging alternatives to Tesla Supercharger stations. -
