SOLTERRA, SUBARU's all-new, all-electric C-segment-class CUV is the first Subaru built on the all new battery electric vehicle (BEV) dedicated e-Subaru Global Platform jointly developed with Toyota Motor Corporation. The SOLTERRA will go on sale globally in 2022 with a focus in Japan, China, Europe, Canada and the US. e-Subaru's Global Platform is a combination of Toyota's and Subaru's strengths in creating an AWD platform that allows the mix and match of the front segment, center and rear allowing a wide mix of FWD, RWD and AWD configurations in an optimized roomy platform with superior passive safety and vehicle stability. Per Subaru's press release the BEV name SOLTERRA was created by joining the word SOL, Latin for Sun and TERRA, Latin for Earth. This name was chosen to further advance Subaru's appreciation for mother nature and the over all planet we need to coexist with. This Subaru believes delivers on the commitment to their customers on a go-anywhere capable BEV.

WOW, Ransomware on the stupid gas supplying line owned by Colonial Pipeline operations that deliver 45% of all gas supplies to the Greater SouthEast of the country has caused people to go stupid. Gas shortage, rationing and stupid fights. A woman in a new Honda hits an auto for not letting her cut in line at Marathon gas station and then they end up fighting each other. https://www.instagram.com/p/COvyhm7nu8N/ WOW, People really get stupid. Why would you want to damage your auto let alone spit on another person and then he was an idiot for getting out to fight her. Both deserved the arrest they got.

That is too funny, pretty accurate of life be you one to believe in religion or not. Thanks for posting an accurate portrayal of life!

WOW, R.I.P. An amazing life for sure, sad to have lost it due to extreme weather, but he lived his life on his terms doing what he loved. Thanks for sharing.

Keep in mind that they have shown this to commercial and government groups already who were excited by what they saw and what ever pricing was stated for work trucks. Most work trucks are rubber floor mats, not carpet and hard plastic everywhere. If they start out at the entry level RWD range it is understandable. Makes sense to have the longest range on the least demand motor setup being RWD but also having AWD as an option. AWD with 400 miles is still impressive, getting 450 to 500 miles for RWD is fantastic. I would like to know what the real range is for under load in the bed and or hauling a trailer for the RWD/AWD truck with the full battery pack. Tesla like everyone takes a hit when it comes to hauling stuff / trailering. I see the following for Tesla Tesla Y RWD at 303 miles or AWD at 326 miles, but big difference in battery pack size between those two. Tesla 3 Long Range AWD 353 miles Tesla 3 Performance AWD 315 miles Tesla 3 Standard 263 miles RWD Tesla S Long Range AWD 412 miles Tesla S Plaid AWD 390 miles Tesla X Long Range AWD 360 miles Tesla X Plaid AWD 340 miles Based on this post, all Tesla 3 auto's come with a 82 kWh battery pack, you pay to unlock more range. 2021 Tesla Model 3 Has An 82 kWh Battery Pack: Document Reveals (fossbytes.com) Stories like this of people having the technical ability to scan their own Tesla Y would imply also it has the 82 kWh battery pack. 2021 model Y scan my Tesla battery size | Tesla Motors Club Weird that no where does any actual size spec for the Tesla S or X show up, just miles. Even in this detailed story with talking to Tesla, they do not want to talk about the actual battery size. Tesla new Model S/X refresh: 12 new features yet to be announced - Electrek Seems weird that Tesla web site would not be up front and honest about the actual battery pack sizes. I so hate the Tesla web site for the design and clearly slight of hand look here and not there and ignore the man behind the green curtain. Two things, Tesla has simplified their offering and is focusing in on AWD offering only. Seems the battery packs are also possibly being made in one size with only so much being unlocked since they offer a battery software upgrade to increase range. Makes one think they might all have the same size battery pack and then software limited to a much reduced range. Either way, I am very much excited to see what the affordable Silverado EV Truck looks like and is priced at.

According to CEO Mary of gm, the Chevrolet Silverado EV will be focused on affordability. With that in mind, green car reports that during the quarterly financial call last week, Mary stated that they had a private viewing of select commercial and various governments from city, county, state and federal that got a sneak peak of the Chevrolet EV Silverado interior and exterior. Quote: “We gave a small number of them a sneak peek at the interior and exterior design. They said it exceeded their high expectations with zero emissions, long range, pickup capability, innovative storage, and strong value, along with a powerful design.” The truck was teased last year during their EV media show. Green Car which was present at the media event says they see design nods to the Former Chevrolet Avalanche in the BEV Silverado. Mary confirmed that in some of the Build combinations, the BEV Silverado will exceed 400 miles of range. I have to think that as a RWD only BEV Pickup with such a large battery pack, you can easily hit 450 to 500 miles of range over an AWD version. GM CEO: Chevy Silverado EV will be “a high-volume entry” affordable for fleets (greencarreports.com)

This weekend we had the opening for the North Cascade Highway. Wife and I always do the drive when it first opens. A total of 529 miles from our house North up I5 to Burlington, then East to Lake Diablo and then over the pass to the town of Winthrop, then on to Lake Chelan, Leavenworth and then up and over Hwy 2 (Steven's Pass) and back home. Left at 6am, returned home at 4:34pm. Not a bad road trip. Had drinks and food in the auto, but did stop for a bathroom break at Winthrop and the chocolate shop, got a snack at the Cider Bar in Lake Chelan of Zucchini Fries and then at the Heidelberg food stand for what we think is some of the best juicy chicken strips and deep fried mushrooms. All was very clean and social distant with masks. Good safe relaxing day. If your interested in what it looks like, I took 61 photos of the drive. Chocolate shop in Winthrop is awesome if you love chocolate. Lake Diablo North Cascade Highway (HWY 20) Washington State - Cheers and Gears Love the remodel, that is AWESOME! Look forward to the finished pictures.
