Supposedly the preview of their BEV3 platform is to be shown in March. Then we have the Cadillac EV in April and the Hummer by GMC in May. So we should finally be getting some idea and images of what GM is working on for release late 2020 to early 2021.

Agreed and too true. Until the other OEMs actually have quantity of long range EVs on the lots to sell. This is just News Pipe Dream.

Interesting video feed that says VW and Mercedes Benz will be challenging Tesla by the end of this year since they are taking orders for long range EVs. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/02/22/tesla-competition-growing-but-automakers-market-share-remains-strong.html?__source=sharebar%7Cemail&par=sharebar

I thought like a year or two your mom got a new car. already the lease is coming up? Here are some choices: Cayenne Orange Metallic Bolt Cayenne Orange Metallic Sonic Hatchback Orange Burst Spark Trax has no orange available. Cayenne Orange Metallic Equinox LS Blazer does not have Orange. That pretty much is all you have in Chevrolet.

2020 Cadillac CT5 Sport showroom impression and pictures
I hope Cadillac does not go the way of German Luxury, 95% leases since no one can really afford them or maintain them.

Wonder what the circumstances were, did they not set their brakes? Seems maybe they were expecting auto parking and just drove on and left it in drive? So weird as it looks very calm. RIP

Considering I have never seen one in the wild on the west coast and only at the autoshow, I guess it is an East coast auto. ? Toyota Quality! ?

Your next car
Love my current rides, next one will be an EV for the wife. Rivian, Lordstown, depends on what the existing OEMs have to offer. Right now, probably 2023 at the earliest in buying an EV since battery production, parts production, etc. need to ramp up before we have variety out there. I could possibly see us getting a Mach e GT AWD.

Awesome, I love Snow! Interesting news, seems the Germans are about to have a major upheaval in the auto industry assembly work as of the 830,000 jobs, they said the conversion to global EV auto's which require much less assembly line jobs will affect the stable middle income career path that many have enjoyed for years. At least 10% reduction in jobs is expected over the next 10 years and then even heavier job cuts after that. Seems the Unionized jobs are going to take a hit as Germany will have to deal with a reduced need in factory space and https://www.thedrive.com/tech/32260/the-danger-is-growing-for-germanys-auto-industry

Seems Green Car Reports is stating that GM plans to reveal the first Cadillac Electric vehicle this April. We get to see the Hummer by GMC EV Truck in May. We will get more information in March about their new BEV3 platform. GM also just announced that their auto apps will report dynamic real time status from EVgo and ChargePoint charging along with if a station is available. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1127179_gm-adds-real-time-charging-station-smarts-via-app-to-chevy-bolt-ev

Autoblog caught mostly uncovered the new Mercedes-Benz EQA and EQB EV CUVs. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/02/20/mb-eqa-eqb-spy-photos/#slide-2210768 MB seems to be following their same Blah jelly bean styling of these auto's, should blend in with the ICE side of the family. The Story also states that the EQC on sale in North America will not happen now till some time in early 2021 at the earliest. It is believed to be due to the construction of a Battery assembly line in the US holding up the EQC from going on sale here. Cost of shipping an EQC here is much higher for some reason, could be due to the weight.

Seems Mercedes Benz is hurting more than people have been led to believe. According to this news story: https://www.autonews.com/executives/daimler-retools-management-mercedes-benz-van-units Daimler CEO is flattening mgmt. lines of communication to get things done faster and more efficient. Their struggling Van division will be led by the CEO as he has shown the door to the leadership team as Diamler looks for ways to turn around their van sales around the world. Daimler CFO will take over the MB CFO position while retaining the Daimler CFO position to review and improve their financial standings. All Projects will be reviewed as MB moves to become a Leading EV auto company. As such, there is a good chance that power trains, trim lines, models etc. could be retired / cut to stream line the company to optimize profits. Is this the beginning of a reduction in model types, model variations? Could Be.
