    Thank you Ocnblu, I always got those and the Chevrolet version mixed. ? Just knew it was from the 80's.

    Last day of the month and, I spy an old 80's era Chevrolet walking into 24hr fitness.

    OUTSTANDING Links. Very engineering which I love, but not all might get it. LOL

    Just like we have to educate the public on newton meters versus lb-ft like HP versus kW. EV's require a change in thinking and as has been proven so much, older folks have a harder time changing gears to the new mind set. Course Cadillac is already confusing the boomers with 400 versus 2.0 LOL

    I have posted videos of their F150 EV Concept that pulled 1.25 millions pounds.

    You do not know that. If this is a quad motor Hummer EV, that torque is very real. No one really knows as we do not have any details to state what is real torque versus peak short jump in torque. Hopefully 5/20/2020 will answer that for us.

    Got a meeting to be in, but agree that would be interesting to look into.

    Trailblazer SS with LSA Supercharger V8 put in. Listen to the Dyno at 4:24

    Amazon has Rivian for their vans, UPS now has Arrival for theirs out of the UK. UPS invested into Arrival and ordered 10,000 EV Delivery Vans. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/01/29/ups-deliveries-arrival-vans-waymo/

    The Amazon Vans are much longer than the R1t / F150 base truck. RJ is on record that due to the motors being mounted between the front and rear wheels, it allows them to stretch the platform for any length including any size battery pack. This to me says they could easily handle an HD King Crew Cab with 8' bed with ease plus give you a 300kWh battery pack for say 500 to 600 miles.

    Right, CyberTruck has nothing on Hummer by GMC! After all everyone loves a Hummer! ? Even the Eco Warriors can get behind this Hummer! ?

    Random news, we now have 3 quarters of diminishing GDP, virus and so much more. Yes, the programs that gave this country growth in 2017 and 2018 have wound down and now lack or leadership has us moving in the direction of a long overdue market correction / depression. I think this is where we will see many of the EV start ups go away.

    Just as long as it does not look like this. ? https://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/08/street-spot-black-and-gold-hummer-h2-belongs-to-alligator-ron-bergeron/

    Seems we have hit the inverting yield curve to down indicating recession. Be interested to see what companies survive and what one fold in the auto industry. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/the-inverting-yield-curve-is-about-more-than-recession-this-time/ar-BBZu7bK?li=BBnb7Kz

    Agree that Hummer should have always been a sub-brand of GMC as a special off road product line. I am excited to see it on 5/20/2020 and learn more about it. I hope they really hit a home run on the style and interior.
  16. G. David Felt
    Excellent question that I would love to know the answer too also. balthazar found this story from last year where RJ is on record saying they had multiple Rivian platforms testing around detroit using F150 bodies as they fit onto the platform. As such this very well could be the Rivian skateboard with a true F150 body. https://electrek.co/2019/02/27/rivian-undercover-f-150-electric-pickup-truck-test-mules/
  17. G. David Felt
    I would think stocking up, did you not see the F150 EV video I had posted that shows it looks allot like the ICE F150. Pretty easy to build an identical looking body and bolt it to the skateboard platform.
  18. G. David Felt
    Awesome, so EXCITED to see the reveal on May 20th 2020. EXCITEMENT! Brought to you by the fine folk's at GMC I totally agree with @balthazar that the Hummer design DNA is very upscale / futuristic and should do well as a sub brand of GMC. Be interesting to see what the starting price will be. I expect this will be around $80K and go up and over $100K for the fully loaded AWD 1,000HP / 11,500 lbft of torque monster. I can see them selling every one they make if they deliver on the quality, specs and rich looking DNA Style.

    Keep in mind that they will ship batteries to Ford for their F150 line which will use the Rivian platform. So the double battery shifts are probably taking the F150 into account too.

    Sorry to hear she broke her foot. Wishing her a speedy recovery, glad you will have company for the drive home. Safe journey.

    So she is staying there and not coming back with you? Wow, long lonely road trip with out a companion. Mexico has bought Mustang GTs to use as drug interceptor auto's according to TheDrive. https://www.thedrive.com/news/32003/mexican-police-department-adds-ford-mustang-gts-as-drug-interceptors Have to say there are some funny stories out there today, The Range Rover driver who tried to drive his auto up a ski slope drunk. Arrested for DUI at 59 years of age in Vermont. https://www.thedrive.com/news/32005/range-rover-driver-hit-with-dui-after-driving-up-magic-mountain-ski-slope OUCH, Nissan announced today employee cuts of 20,000 in the US as the auto maker circles the drain in attempting to stay open and functional. This is on top of the announced last month of a 12,500 head count reduction globally. Wonder who might buy them up? https://www.thedrive.com/news/32004/more-bad-news-at-nissan

    According to TheDrive that was reviewing Ferrari's patent filings, seems their next supercar will be a quad motor AWD EV. Lot more pics at the story and it clearly is also taking into account having a Ferrari EV CUV it would seem based on these patent filings. Kiss another auto maker ICE auto's going bye bye down the road. https://www.thedrive.com/news/31990/ferraris-first-ev-could-have-quad-motor-all-wheel-drive-patents-suggest Quote: Depending on packaging requirements, Ferrari can either join a pair of these units by their motors for rear-drive applications (left) or by their step-down boxes (center) for front-axle use, the latter likely only on an all-wheel-drive vehicle. In theory, that could give Ferrari's EV the ability to mimic Rivian's tank turn, but it's hard to imagine the haughty Ferrari having enough of a sense of humor to program a feature like that into its products.
  23. G. David Felt
    How is that auto related? ? Ahhhhhh juices that is it, everything has to be properly lubed! Got it!
  24. G. David Felt
    True as no German brands do it either. So 1990's of them.
  25. G. David Felt
    @surreal1272 Awesome pics, my son and I also have Cannon DSLRs and they Rock! The Flex is looking good!
