    I would love to take this for a spin around the track, very cool.

    Though I love all things EV, I will say the style of this one has me on the fence. It looks like someone stepped on it and that caused the front and rear lights to get squished. It is just a weird look, Rivian is better looking than this. Hell, even Tesla I would take the look over this and Tesla is really ugly to me.

    I think I would go with a 2016 Buick and then install the latest version of the stereo system to get the cellphone connectivity.

    electric Car conversion Kit
    Weird as I just had this pop up in my browser and never saw this till now, I honestly do not remember where I found this kit, but it was one of the EV conversion companies that use the warp motors. http://www.go-ev.com Going here you can then follow the links to resellers who have these packages for EV conversions.

    Wonder what they will do with the Hybrid? ?

    Electric assist I think is how GM will move away from Vacuum brakes as they get ready for everything being hybrid or EV where Vacuum brakes just do not make sense any more. Interesting to compare this model to the last couple years:

    Rivian has said that this works just fine on asphalt, but it does wear down the tires when dry compared to wet or snow. Situations where tank turning like this is a big benefit, accidents where you need to get out of the blocked traffic and move on elsewhere, any weather related situation where you need to move in an alternative path like fallen trees, I can actually see this being very beneficial depending on where you are and what the conditions are when out and about in a storm. Very cool, I wonder what they are thinking on that wheel assembly.

    20190725_163009.mp4 In the little town of Duvall Washington visiting my sister and came across two awesome old autos. International truck This next one I know will be loved by many here, @Drew Dowdell @balthazar @oldshurst442 @Robert Hall @A Horse With No Name @ocnblu I am sure there are others, but this baby is perfect for this sunny day. 20190725_163009.mp4

    Jason Kicks off Saleen new product line in China both full EV and ICE performance.

    Soooo, Rivian made them take it down as it infringed on their copyrights. At the 2 min mark in the video you see the truck come down this dirt road to a non passable hole in the road and then do a tank 360 turn in place to continue back up the way it came. Very cool and for sure will offer people an easier way to get out of a tight situation. Found this screen grab that someone else had done. Too bad I did not think about it, could have done a screen recording of the video to post then.

    This times a Million! Tired of seeing so called special auto's bought and parked in private collections and never seen on the streets. Makes sure to sell to people who will commit to driving them.
  13. G. David Felt
    This is awesome and should spark interest for those that pull a boat or RV. Way to go GM!
  14. G. David Felt
    That is a bum, very cool seeing the R1T do a 360 in place. Talk about an awesome feature of EV's to have the controllers cause the motors to reverse so you can spin in place. Story says that Rivian has an even better video of real production R1T doing it but is not ready to show it off yet. I hope they release it soon as it would drive excitement for their products.

    LOL, so behind this morning, totally missed your story when I posted my post. Thank you Drew

    928 and 959 are the only two cars from Porsche that I love. The rest are just ok, great performance, but just ok to me. The style of those first two are awesome. Used to see Bill Gates drive one of his three various 959 to the crab shack in Kirkland. He loved them before the gov stopped letting the 959 in. I have to laugh as I find some just love or hate the carbon fiber trim thing. To me, it depends on color and style of how it is incorporated as I can take it or leave it. I do like it on the Cadillac V series of auto's.

    BBC is reporting that Nissan has finalized the cuts as 12,500 jobs globally on top of assembly plant closures. 6,400 lay offs have already happened at eight locations. The rest will be done by the end of the year. They also plan to shed an additional 6,100 global jobs between 2020 and 2022 at six additional locations. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-49109307 This is in addition to reporting a 94.5% drop in net profit for Q1 of 2019, worst in decades. UK Sunderland is hoping to avoid job cuts but Nissan has announced that the new X-Trail auto will be built in Japan and exported rather than in the UK due to the Brexit uncertainty.

    This is way to weird and wrong for the potential 2020 new Escalade imho.

    Detroit 3 Truck makers CANNOT do this, Rivian will have a Tank Feature on their Truck and SUV for added Off-road capability. https://electrek.co/2019/07/24/rivian-electric-pickup-truck-tank-steer-video/ Very Cool

    Thanks, found this story on Android Auto and the wireless feature, but it uses so much power, not worth having it they say. Yet for short trips, still interesting. https://www.extremetech.com/mobile/267568-google-rolls-out-wireless-android-auto-but-almost-no-one-can-use-it Found this with good info also: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/android-auto-faq,news-20799.html

    Yes, a break even halo auto is always desired, but the issues MB has had with this hypercar is pushing it to the point of cancellation on top of now a 2021 release date. Heck other auto companies could have superior hypercars out by then.
  22. G. David Felt
    I thought you also could connect via Bluetooth to the built in auto system.

    Is it just me or is BMW STUPID for charging for Carplay when Kia offers it for free plus Android auto? https://www.thedrive.com/news/29134/bmw-is-charging-owners-an-80-annual-subscription-fee-to-use-apple-carplay So now you have to pay $80 a year to get access on your POS BMW auto for Carplay and screw you Android users. Seems to me that BMW does not want tech users in their auto's. IDIOTS! ?

    The company is bleeding billions and no matter how much you have in the bank, one has to face the music, how much more do you invest in a project that has yet to return a profit let alone break even cost and seems to still not be able to be legal for common road driving? The AMG One needs to be shut down, accept that this was a project that was not possible to achieve and focus on something that is.

    Welcome to the global recession start. Expect job cuts in many countries world wide of basic worker assembly line jobs to manual labor day jobs. Time for the world to take a break and focus on reduction of debt. This is going to hurt many.
