    That just screams luxury, NOT!

    The long range Performance Tesla 3 battery pack has a weight of 1,054 lbs. so if we drop 80%, that makes it about 210.8 lbs.

    I would take the Hand built Supercharge V8 over the twin turbo crap any day!

    I asked my North Korean friend how it was there, he said he couldn't complain On a scale of North Korea to America, how free are you tonight? Talking to a liberal is like trying to explain social media to a 70 years old. A liberal is just a conservative that hasn't been mugged yet. I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen too many of them get elected.

    Be interesting to see what really happens in 16 months once the merger is complete as Month 16 to 24 will be the assessment period and axe cutting period of products to survive.
  6. G. David Felt
    Cool, but I honestly question the need for plug-in hybrids and Diesel any longer.
  7. G. David Felt
    Month 16 and the Axe will fall on profit loosing products. Bye Bye Alfa, Fiat, Chrysler, etc.

    Yes, I am very much an Evolutionist, if wife, kids, parents, etc. did not pay attention to their job of walking and watching out, they get what they get. SAD YES!, Government is NOT supposed to protect you from Stupidity!

    OK, This gets even more stupid as looking closer at the Chevrolet dealership lot by me shows the following Suburban and Tahoe 2019 models get $14,000 off Suburban and Tahoe 2020 models get $7,245 off No 2019 Traverse in stock, but 2020 models get $3,800 off RS and $4,200 off High Country No 2019 Equinox in stock, but 2020 models get $6,093 off 2019 Trax get $8,200 off and 2020 get $2,713 off When do they wake up to the fact that ongoing constant factory rebates diminish auto value. Price it right and go after based on quality and features.

    Honestly Hyundai can EAT GMs market share as GM is being Marketing Stupid in regards to proper prices and the 19 by me prove this. The funny part of the 19 in stock Blazers by me is they are all Premier or RS models. 2019 models get $7,400 off MSRP 2020 Models get $2,725 off MSRP Clearly GM has this product priced way too high

    My local dealer has 19 from mid 30's to mid 40's. https://www.leejohnsonchevrolet.com/search/new-camaro-kirkland-wa/?cy=98033&tp=new&md=541 Not selling though.

    Seems GM was planning to show off their first Cadillac EV with Supercruise at CES, but due to the lengthy strike, they are unable to get it done by the CES deadline for submission. As such GM will be a no show this year at CES 2020. GM has stated no to Plug-in Hybrids and yes to self driving fully automated EVs. https://ww.electrek.co/2019/12/17/gm-ceo-yes-to-self-driving-evs-no-to-plug-in-hybrids/

    I would agree with you as everything was tight and very impressive, the only thing was what I thought was an after thought way of how they installed the rear seat entertainment systems. The V surround mounting was plastic that was an attempt to blend it into the seat but the flimsy nature of the mount left me thinking old GM days of the bean counters.
  14. G. David Felt
    Yea, still not seen a Blazer in the wild, see plenty of XT6 out and about, selling well here, but not impressed.
  15. G. David Felt
    I honestly have only seen a few blazers on the dealer lots here and not a single one in the wild. So I have to say that for $50K people are buying other autos over it.
  16. G. David Felt
    Storm grey or what ever you call that dark silvery color.
  17. G. David Felt
    Sadly no, did not have the time, though they offered. I will say I did find one thing that blew my mind in a negative way about the CT6 V at $100,000 and that is the gaps and give of the plastic mounting as this white CT6 V had the back seat entertainment systems on the chairs and I was surprised how flimsy they appeared to be attached and the give and gaps around it. Not what I would expect for the price of this auto. Course I would not have them in it either.

    I would gird your loins for the anouncement that the EQA and EQB will end up being Europe or China only as MB delays to 2023 global EV production at the Earliest. Plenty of news story's but MB is having Battery production problems that started in Feb 2019 and continue still now. https://www.carscoops.com/2019/02/mercedes-benz-eqc-delayed-three-months-due-battery-production-issues/ On top of this MB has anounced that their US Production plant will now supply their North America EV's with batteries further delaying their release due to the added weight of the auto's in shipment. Also for Asia, they just started a battery production plant as China cannot come online fast enough. https://insideevs.com/news/386148/mercedes-benz-battery-production-phev/ Clearly MB can build the auto, getting the battery packs to power said EVs is going to take another year and the focus is Europe and China over the rest of the world. MB will not be done with the US plant expansion till next summer then training, bringing everything online, your looking at 2021 selling models at 2022 at the earliest with reality that they will have EV options in 2023 sitting on the lots for consideration. about the same time that Cadillac, Lincoln, and many other OEMs have stated they will have choices too. End result is MB is Following everyone else, NOT Leading them. F1 EV racing also is nothing special for MB as they will use the same set platform as everyone else, so it comes down to the drivers skill. Again NOT MB Technology.

    At the gym for my core workout day. Saw a brand new Toyota CHR. Wow, talk about a turd. Pinched off front and back. Looks like it was forced out hard. Pass on ever owning a toy turd Toyota is producing. ?

    Again, your wrong on Cadillac. I consider it a top status brand and much better than the plastic crap the brand you think is best MB. Plenty of People do not think much of the Lease 99% of the time German brands.I find so much dumped CPO that is at low prices that they ship them out of state because there is so much. I question just how much profit your love fest of MB really has when you see the amount of CHURN that brand has. Small volume high profit can provide much in changing a brand to the next future way of doing business. Mary clearly is seeing a different world view than you see.

    At my Cadillac dealership, got the CT6 V on display and I have to say, that is one tight engine bay.
  22. G. David Felt
    Yes MB has also acknowledged that they are having a hard time getting batteries, so this makes sense to delay the US access to a model that they cannot yet produce in volume to supply Europe. As much as I like the Jaguar and Audi, both companies failed in using the benefits of an electric EV to give the internal space they should have. They actually made an EV that is too close to ICE in wasting internal space. That is where they need to correct a big mistake.
  23. G. David Felt
    Probably a pile of Rust flakes based on the picture.
  24. G. David Felt
    I am fine with natural human population control for the Electric sounding auto's of natural ev emission.

    Happy they are going back to names.
