    Ducati says an electric motorcycle is coming, but first they’ve announced this electric scooter http://flip.it/Iz6m7I Ducati scooter EV first product out

    I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a G8 or GTO, but then cars are not very popular here compared to trucks, SUV and CUVs.

    Bought the movie, have not had a chance to watch it yet.

    My Note 8 does not have that option anymore for removable, but then I have not ever had a freeze issue on it either so no need to do that and I now make a habit of rebooting it once a week to have it boot up clean.

    I already thought that Most of the S-Class sold in China were 4 bangers with some 6 and a few rare 8 banger motors.

    Interesting, guess they are darker than the normal ones. I love the bacon / cheese flavored ones.

    I would agree they need a truck and a Mini pickup and mid size would be best for them. Just something better looking than the mess above.

    Lets just hope Cadillac NEVER does this Ugly Mess again from the late 70's to early 80's of the Cadillac Seville Uglies:

    I am really interested in the new Nav system and how it responds, review comparisons to the German and Asians. Should be interesting along with the thoughts on the interior room and material quality. They should have made the CT5 a true 4 door sedan and then shocked everyone by showing off a true coupe like this. Or at least if not using that cool name called it an Eldorado.

    Excellent growth, hopefully a signs of better things to come for Cadillac in the US with more often refreshes and newer product sooner.

    Exactly why I feel the coupe things is so over done. 4 door sedans need a proper trunk look and not the jellybean with no trunk look.

    Nice

    That was a cool tow too for the 155,000 dry weight of the Endeavor by the Tundra.

    Pretty much to be expected with the work on the Model Y. I think the big question is this time next year with a full year of Model 3 production and the start of Model Y if they can sustain profitability or not. That will be the key to longer term success and survival as an independent company.

    Agreed, considering that Tesla has shown not only their Semi Concept, but a real Tesla X pulling a Boeing plane that is 265,000 pounds of weight, Electric as a HD model would do wonders for Construction sites in the inner city where quiet is appreciated early in the morning when they start work.

    So that is a dealer access order guide then only? I have never seen anything like this before, guess for rating of EPA, they list it CUV, but public knows better as a hatchback? ?‍♂️ I have to say that Cadillac has nailed the LOVELY Burgundy Wine Color on the CT5. This really makes it attractive.

    Must be that high maintenance ICE auto you drive since electrics do not chirp!

    Yup, at least here in Washington, I noticed all the parking spots next to weird space in garages that a parking spot could not be put in have been used to install chargers improving the over all use of space.

    Hate Bernie, old guy needs to retire and stop his socialist craziness. Yes free is never free, but a cost some place else. Probably higher rent to the tenants at the mall, ending up higher prices to the consumer. Yet, people see free and in their short sightedness, the free charger especially if they live in an apartment is a good thing. Plus they are at the mall and might buy something. Winner Winner Winier dinner!

    As I have published earlier in the alternative fuel channel, Toshiba goes into production with their solid state batteries this spring, Mitsubishi and Nissan are the first auto companies that are going to use them in their EVs. Two battery pack options, 198 mile pack that charges fully in 6 min and 396 mile pack that charges in 12 min. Toshiba is leading the charge here and then there is Samsung who as @Drew Dowdell suggested has stated they will have solid state batteries out later this year but no product mentioned. I suspect in the Note 10, Samsung has also been totally quiet about the battery that is in the Samsung Fold but many think it is a solid state battery. Benefits of solid state batteries is half the size of traditional Lithium Ion batteries with 4 times more charge. So making phones liter makes sense, but for a phone like the note, I can also see much longer charge times. Since the time I have posted my original story about the Scib batteries, toshiba has both hybrid lithium ion and solid state going into production this year. This was the update I posted about the drop of cobalt from them last year. Since then Samsung has made announcements, Dyson, and many others. 2019 / 2020 seems to be the year we start seeing Solid state batteries just as EVs start being rolled out.

    Charging at the Mall here is more efficient than at home due to one thing and one thing only. In Washington state, most chargers are free. These fast DC chargers are Free to charge. Look on the dark side and you will see, Free charging.

    Lots of Good Eats at the Malls here, Red Robin, Cheese Cake Factory, Keg Steak House, Claim Jumpers, Anthonies Seafood, etc. Charge while you eat.

    ^^^ Agree that the Bolt is not bad looking, would have sold better if it was a CUV. GM missed reading the tea leaves for the current auto trend. Also agree that the Asian auto's do follow a very popular Origami type design. Yet while that sells well in the Asian rim and in Europe, they seem to have not realized that Americans are not huge Origami fans. Leaf and Prius would have sold better if a more Butch style was used I think. I call your BULLSHIT OF NARROW VIEW! People who drive EVs tend to buy them unless you have a wife who has an input and your huge like me. Then a much larger one would be better. BOLT is an excellent drive, if they had done a CUV rather than a hatch back I bet it would be selling even more. Just because you want to breath toxic fumes and coal dust not everyone does on the planet and before you know it as Solid state batteries hit in EV late this year and next year with many more CUV EV options, sales are going to jump up much faster.

    Is this based on a global platform that came from Toyota?
  25. G. David Felt
    A ton of new fast chargers just came online around washington, very popular at the mall. Hate to say it, but this ease of access everywhere will be the death of gas stations eventually. Why have to go to a specific point to fuel when you can charge your EV while you shop.
