    Wow :o the docks are so empty, I have never seen them lacking containers. Trade is not what it used to be. 20190624_090442.mp4

    SAE J1772 is the standard that is universally recognized and Tesla has had to add to their auto's for the China Market. While there is a low power and high power version of the J1772 plug, the SAE group has out for review a combined standard to allow this single plug to be used at both home and commercial installations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772 Nissan CHAdeMO has a few benefits, but like Tesla and as @Drew Dowdell has stated with Beta will probably fall to the side. No one in the industry is wanting to pay Nissan or Tesla to use their standard. Like the Great 80's Beta versus VHS war, Panasonic won by licensing everyone to build VHS players and the bulk of the crowd refused to Pay Sony for their Beta player even though it was a superior format and quality. With everyone else including Porsche following the SAE J1772 standard, I expect this to be universally the plug we use from home to commercial quick charge.

    Bummer that the SX Prestige Package is only available in black on this SUV. This just makes no sense to me to limit these features to just lousy black.

    All they need to do is have a Trail Rated Test Package version like Jeep and this would truly Rock!

    Just saw a new one this morning running errands, first I have seen in the wild. Sharp looking and green is very popular here in the greater Seattle Area. Agree, I think they checked all the right popular boxes of what this auto needed and while the engine is no rock star for power, it is enough to motivate the SUV to move.

    Sucks that you can get the Black / Brown interior with any color other than the Atlantic Metallic and that has to have the White / Black interior. I agree GM needs to allow better interior color combos.

Love the power train Conversion they did! https://electrek.co/2018/10/31/1949-mercury-coupe-ev-conversion-tesla-powertrain/ https://insideevs.com/news/340782/this-mercury-coupe-is-the-electric-sleeper-of-our-dreams/ Seems it was a hit at SEMA. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sebastianblanco/2018/10/31/icon-converts-1949-mercury-coupe-to-derelict-electric-vehicle/#7f097cf71c00 Clearly the Future!

    Windows remind me of the bunker looking Camaro.

    While cool sounding, it would seem they are having major quality problems. Makes me wonder if they can even deliver a working prototype.

    There is already a universal standard that everyone except NIssan and Tesla are using, unless I am missing something in your statement about universal. ? So says the Fiat 500 owner with a snapped on Jeep Female body.

    Toyota and Subaru have officially signed an agreement to build an EV Platform that both companies will use to build SUV and Cars. https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/28377766.html?adid=ag478_mail&padid=ag478_mail

    I would have gotten more pictures if I did not have to be some place. Very cool that he was using it to get stuff at the local Home Depot. SHARP LOOKING Truck! Thank you for letting me know the age, I have no idea.

    Today's find here in Seattle.

    If I worried about gas mileage, I would not own all SUV's that guzzle it! Maybe my next new one will be an EV Cadillac if it is done right. Right now leaning towards Rivian.

    Why worry about buying new when https://cartoys.com/ can get you that backup camera, Android / Apple Play Radio system much cheaper than a new auto would cost.

    Some people have a very small Soul, so no need for bigger especially if it does not exist at all.

    I would have to agree that what you have experienced is what I have experienced. Only difference is that all the German performance fans seem to be pompous Asses and while knowledgeable to a point worry more about the badge and how people see them. So True, the Kardashians could care less about anything of reality other than the Badge and if your looking at them and their big butt!

    Put the Style on a Mid and full size CUV and you got it made for a family.

    Current Cadillacs, Infinities and even Lexus will be replaced over time by EV versions. I truly believe that. Except the Escalade, they hold more value than most other luxury SUVs.

    I give him a little bit of rope, at least he figured out I used a Dr. Seuss style of making a poem for him. He also said he believes Engineers will fix it all, so we engineers can fix the problems that we created. Like him I love my ICE auto's, but I also know for a fact there is a better way to get around and EVs are better than ICE, distance, weight and size of the battery packs will change over time as we design and create denser power packs that charge faster and take less maintenance than todays auto's. Already the difference between the EVs on the road and Ice today is huge in terms of cost of maintenance and cost of operation.

    Yet the G-Wagon was the one that had mismatched screws on the auto show floor.Poor fit n finish, Yea, that is what I would expect from a $100,000 plus SUV. ?

    Is it me of does those headlights and the front say ACURA! I agree with Drew, this is a sharp looking auto for the size. LOVE the attention to detail such as the colored Calipers on the brakes. This really sets them apart from companies like Ford with rusty calipers on their Mustang unless you buy the performance package with brakes and then you get painted calipers. The Koreans are really paying attention to not only quality, but the little details that does set them apart from the rest. Interesting drawings online of the interior. Very Sparse.

    Your ignoring a key item here, the BULK of Lexus owners could CARE LESS about the HP / Torque of their engines in comparison to the butter smooth and VERY QUIETness of the auto with long term reliability. I know this to be true as I have been asking folks here in the office who own Lexuses if they feel it needs more power and so far NO ONE has told me they wish the Lexus auto they drive needs more power. So then what is it about their auto as to why they bought it? RELIABILITY Whether you believe it or not, the Marketing machine of Lexus has that front and center in the mind of the customer.
