According to an interview done by Steve Fowler at Auto Express UK, Thierry Bollore the new CEO of Jaguar Land Rover is considering taking Jaguar pure EV to be a Tesla / Polestar competitor and would start with the new Baby Jaguar concept they built. This is a Tesla 3 sized luxury 4 door sedan. This comes after so many stories about the Flagship XJ EV being postponed as they focus on ICE auto's. Jaguar has confirmed that due to the success of their i-Pace CUV, they are moving forward with delivery of the XJ EV in 2021. Castle Bromwich will be home to all electric auto's that they make including the Road biased Range Rover EV. This comes after sales of the Jaguar XE dropped 28% in 2019. As such, the board with new CEO leadership feels it needs to aggressively move to an all new replacement of the XE with this all electric baby Jaguar. Jaguar management is also closely watching Polestar and especially their Polestar 2 EV. The all new MLA EV platform would allow replacements of the E-Pace and F-Pace to be a priority once the XE and XJ are launched. Jaguar according to the story is on pace to launch plug-in hybrids of the E & F Pace that will get a facelift along with a move to a Hybrid as a stop gap measure till they are replaced with EVs. There are also talks of a smaller electric Jaguar as Jaguar has signed letters of agreement to work with BMW on a electric version of the BMW 1 & 2 series that will go electric and this would bring in a much smaller footprint Jaguar below the XE and i-Pace. A big question is that the F-Type sports car while being considered a must by some executives on the Board could fall to the history bin as it only sold 6,000 in the last financial year globally making it the second worst performing auto in their portfolio behind the XJ which will come out next year in the dramatic clean sheet design. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/jaguar/353006/new-baby-electric-jaguar-take-tesla-model-3

Seems Test Mules for Chevrolet Silverado are going to have the same Multi-Feature tail gate according to pictures snapped and published on this site. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/08/chevy-silverado-with-multiflex-tailgate-spied-completely-camo-free/

Graphene: 200 times stronger than steel, 1,000 times lighter than paper, 98% transparent, conducts electricity better than any other material at room temperature and can convert light at any wavelength into a current. Final feature is it is the 4th most-abundant element in the world and universe. https://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/new-inventions/graphene.htm Good read on the stuff and how it will radically change everything from cell phones to EV's. From supercapactors to faster charging and denser solid state batteries that way less. This is a game changer and up till recently was a super material that will change many things, but then a new feature was discovered that will help really boost solar cells and batteries is the new superconductor displacement angle that MIT discovered in experimenting with dual-layered graphene. Expect cellphones to laptops to take advantage of the Graphene benefits first with new products coming out in 2021. This will allow charging to be 5 times faster, battery life to last 3 times longer and battery cycles to last 5 times longer before replacement. Samsung and Huwei will be the expected first out with tech that uses the new solid state graphene batteries. One company is already selling various base products to be used in production. https://www.graphenea.com/ Graphene batteries are expected out in 2023 that will give 20% increase in capacity over Li-Ion and 15% energy density increase. Solar cells will be out that are 20% more efficient at converting sunlight to electricity. From auto parts to water desalinization, Graphene is going to change the 21st century for everyone.

One thing I miss is in our 76 Olds Station wagon, the crotch coolers. Front seat driver and passenger had them. It was great. Not found on any modern auto that I know of. My 94 GMC Suburban has ceiling AC vents along with floor heaters in the back.

Job One

Let's Look at the Facts. Potus45 cheated not once, but twice and married each cheater woman ending his marriage to the previous wife. He has tried to cover up his Golden Shower fun with prostitutes in Russia, He tried to cover up his affair with Stormy Daniels which is during the his marriage to the 3rd wife. He wants people to believe his lying dialogue of who he is. Where did Hillary cheat or cause scandal in the white house? Her husband cheated but he was a known hound dog of woman and until he decided to try and cover up the Monica affair, he had not did what Potus45 had done. Respect is earned and given and that is one thing even as much as the current president has not earned from the public, the position still deserved respect and while there are more jokes that tear the position and him down, this was not a joke that did that. Yet you had to Degrade woman period with terms that should not be used. You had to find a way to lower yourself in making a joke that could have been funny about her to below her. I have thought long and hard on this and @ocnblu you have no way to say that you did not on purpose degrade with your joke. That is something I did not do. This is all your own doing. Next time hopefully you will think twice as I am all for a joke even ones about Hillary Clinton that can be funny and clean. No need to degrade anyone or oneselve.

Same here for me and Taco Time Tater Tots, they seldom make it home.

Yea, Love to fish, clean and will cook it, BBQ, Steamed, Poached, broiled, etc. All fish taste, texture, smell just turns me off for eating. I have a very limited seafood that I like, Scallops, King Crab, Lobster and an occasional tiger prawn. That is it. Pretty much a Beef, Pork and Chicken man.

Fishy greasy tasting, not a fish fan. Glad @ocnblu likes his fish, I just do not. Have tried it a few times and just not for me.

Everyone deserves decency even when they are a lying unfaithful narcissist. That is what sets a strong Multi-Cultural society apart from a racist one.

Fudge

Scallops look good, pass on the salmon.

Any woman would be better looking than Hillary, but do you have to drop to uneducated degrading terms for a woman? I am sure the joke could have been done without two specific terms.

Seems BorgWarner will be the official Power Train of the Mustang Mach e EV. To Quote the story: Unlike other BorgWarner eGearDrive units, the gearing incorporated within the iDM does not utilize parallel axis gearing. Instead, it features a concentric design with outputs on the same axis as the electric motor, which results in a more compact package. The gearbox can handle 4,278 Nm of axle torque and input speeds up to 13,800 rpm. Also, BorgWarner designed and packaged an integrated park module, along with a cooling and lubrication solution to provide thermal management to the whole iDM system, all within one compact assembly. The iDM will power the Mustang Mach-E’s rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. For the all-wheel-drive GT version, BorgWarner will supply the secondary drive unit to power the front wheels as well. Production is slated to begin this year. Have to say the RPM and Torque are exciting. Cannot complain about 3,155 lb-ft of torque. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/borgwarner-to-build-integrated-drive-module-for-ford-mustang-mach-e/

An interesting read for those curious about how EV Semi Trucks and Public buses will be powered. Very interesting to read about the Mega Watts of power needed to recharge a fleet. For the most part, the West coast is adding power and charging, Midwest has yet to do much of anything and the east coast is slowly adding charging stations and looking to add capacity. Be interesting to see where we are by 2025 for power production in support of EV's everything. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/electric-truck-fleets-will-need-a-lot-of-power-and-utilities-need-to-start-planning-now/

Why? Such an Ugly Mug, the GMC is way better looking.
