The Primes will be great for Uber/Lyft if they survive the Pandemic. The Rav4 Prime makes more sense than this tight car IMHO.

So many comments could be made and so many observations about the people. Yes some good ol truck fun with plenty of backsides to enjoy!

I would sure like to know why the Toyota was going full speed across the divider?

Check out their real world version of their AR HUD rather than that crazy everything in the sky version that was in the story. Have to say it looks good when you look at what they are more realistic about. https://www.digitaltrends.com/features/envisics-ar-windshield-technology/ https://envisics.com/ Envisics has investment from Hyundai, GM, SAIC and Van Tuyl all of who have committed to using their Retina Grade AR HUD system in their EVs. ICE is already lost, ICE Racing is still cool, I think as we get solid state batteries that can handle Rapid 800V or higher recharging, we will see EV racing take off more too. Course she is very attractive too!

Totally agree, as more people drive them and experience the Torque they will change to liking Hybrids / EVs.

Porsche has restored their first in-wheel hub motor EV auto they built.

Loved this edition of the Jay Leno Garage.

Very cool improvement that Cadillac will get first with their EV Lyriq. https://electrek.co/2020/10/19/gm-cadillac-lyriq-electric-suv-crazy-head-up-display/

Amazing how much aftermarket has done to tune these trucks to over 600+ hp and some truly single digit quarter miles.

I can see GMC doing a 21st century GMC Syclone EV versions of this AWESOME Truck!

Nice Looking STS! Robert, so she is going from a 2 car owner to just her AWD CUV? Or is there another auto in the works? ?

Good info on GM's future of an All-Electric Reality. https://www.gm.com/masthead-story/ultium-battery-electric-future.html

GM Announced today their Electric Vehicle-only 'Factory Zero' to produce the GMC Hummer EV pickup. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center will be converted to a EV only production facility. GM will invest $2.2 Billion into Factory Zero for retooling and upgrades of the assembly line allowing GM to build at scale luxury Trucks and SUV EVs. Upon full operational, the plant will produce 2,200 jobs and more as demand grows. Factory Zero is being rebuilt with sustainability in mind as everything will be repurposed, recycled and with the change to the plant for EV production, 16.5 acre wildlife habitat will become a home for monarchs, foxes, turkeys and more. Two videos in the story that cover todays announcement and relabeling of the plant. https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2020/oct/1016-event.html
