DOH, We got our hand caught in the cookie jar and now are trying to make it Fake News.

Maybe the next Tahoe / Suburban will get a more Corvette look. ?

Interesting to see what these two companies bring to the table in a Hybrid and EV model.

Cool, I totally agree with the assessment of the Buick and Trax. I am excited that the Trax is going revolutionary in it's style. Should really help pump up sales. Buick already has a winning formula, so evolutionary makes sense to keep the auto closer to what is currently selling. I wonder if a hybrid or EV will be included in the lineup?

@trinacriabob First off I have to place this disclaimer. I work for Dell Technology. I hope this info helps. Ask me any questions you have. The guy you talked to I have to agree with @Drew Dowdell is full of crap. With that said, the Epyc chip is AMDs commercial grade CPU and the Ryzen is the consumer for desktop and laptop applications, same 32 core cpu but with less memory and PCIe channels. Both chips kick Intel's Ass in performance for both their i9 commercial cpu and i7 consumer and this includes their over clocked gamer cpu. Intel just showed off a 10Nm 28 core CPU at Computex and they did not bother till after the show a day or two later that it was over clocked at 5GHz and had a mini refrig water chiller. Intel is struggling as AMD has vastly surpassed them. AMD both consumer and commercial chips handles up to 2TB of ram per CPU with 32 cores in comparison to Intel CPUs that max out at 96GB of ram. Right now Intel will not be able to get anything up and running till December when they start shipping their 10 nanometer (Nm) CPUs that will get close to AMD. Yet AMD also at Computex showed off their next Gen Epyc / Ryzen CPU on a 7 Nm design that will again drop power needs, heat etc. Right now AMD is actually winning even in their Gen 1 Ryzen chip that is in most system shipping in minimizing power consumption and heat generation. I will say that if you can afford to put in a little more money, picking up a next Gen Ryzen would give you a long lasting computer. Good Review on the new AMD Ryzen Gen 2 that will be out in September systems. https://hothardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2950x-and-2990wx-review Good info for Gen 1 Ryzen out now and should find good deals on it if you are happy with the performance. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-7-2700x-review,5571.html Here is an excellent review of AMD versus Intel Cpu's. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2-vs-intel-skylake-x,5727.html I will say if you have access to Costco, they have some very sweet Dell XPS desktops that are better priced than even my employee pricing for the configurations they sell. Here is the current info on Costco for Desktop system only: Here is for all in one systems: Here is their current Printers. After being a long life HP user, their costs for consumables is just stupid crazy compared to printers and quality seems to be terrible right now. I tried Epson but they also seem to be following the HP model. I ended up getting 3yrs ago a Brother MFC system and they rock. Solid and just plain awesome. Last option is to consider REFURBISHED. Comes with full warrenty and a great way to either save money or get more system for less money than usual. http://www.dell.com/us/dfh/p/?cid=287779&st=dell+refurbished&VEN1=1PQIzE1f%2C74010960201652%2C901kuu23312%2Cc%2C&VEN2=be%2Cdell+refurbished&lid=5512803&dgc=st&dgseg=arb&acd=1230921317820600&VEN3=153604497227599147 This second link looks like dell but I am not sure, first time seeing it. Might be a certified resellar. https://www.dellrefurbished.com/

Wonder if it will get a Z71 package. ?

True, but then that is the Value engine and the 6.0 is fine for the Chevy top end. Not like they could not retune the chip and get more out of the 6.0. Leave something different for GMC and Cadillac. I do wonder if GM will detune the 6.2 so it falls under GMC, which sadly does have the same HP / Torque as the Cadillac.

Magna Ride and the 6.2L V8, why should someone buy a Cadillac then if Chevy and GMC have the same core? ?

Totally agree with you there. I am looking forward to Porsche handing Tesla their Ass. :P Ludicrous mode will be trumped by whatever mode Porsche comes up with I think.

Always cool to look at GMs Chinese models only by their other names. https://media.gm.com/media/cn/en/gm/photos.html Baojun Jiefang Wuling BJW are 3 name plates I did not realize GM had till I started looking through their photo section.

Even in reduced mode, I bet the tesla would still beat many cars. Tesla has already stated that once the fine tune the track option that is in the Model 3, it will get pushed out to the S model and I suspect they know they have to have a true track mode since Porsche is doing it as well as BMW and Daimler.

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2019-tesla-model-3-performance-on-track-driving/ https://cleantechnica.com/2018/07/31/mountain-pass-performance-unlocks-tesla-model-3-track-mode-shatters-track-record-cleantechnica-exclusive/ Both above on the Model 3. While the Tesla S did not finish in full power mode last time in Germany, it did do an impressive first 3 min. https://insideevs.com/expected-tesla-model-s-fails-lap-nurburgring-full-power-video/ Best quote of the Nissan GT-R developer Lead who tested the Tesla S on the track was as follows: “The lap itself was around 10 minutes Bridge to Gantry (in heavy traffic) but unfortunately the car went into a reduced power mode about 3 minutes in due to excess battery heat (at least, that’s my guess).” “However, before it did it was able to keep a GT3 RS going full chat, within shouting distance (at the 2:00 mark) far longer than any 4,700lb sedan has a right to.” “I think without the reduced power output and traffic, a B-T-G lap under nine minutes is possible. According to the Bridge To Gantry site, that would put it in the company of some really quick hot hatches.” This story was from 2014, so I have to assume much has been overcome since then in the last 4 years. Here is the updated story when a p90D was taken to the track.https://evobsession.com/tesla-model-s-p90d-nurburgring-video/ Over all seems Tesla still has their limits built in after 3min of aggressive driving to reduce power output but a 10 min lap time still. Course Porsche is clearly going for the full meal as their testing on the track shows what a dialed in EV car can do, especially as heavy as these 4 doors are. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-rival-porsche-mission-e-nurburgring-sighting/

That is a tiny CUV. I loved the look of the concept. I wonder how much they will keep. Probably not much. :(

Yet Tesla is just not fast in straight line, they have done extremely well in track courses as well as other types of driving.

Hellcat Prius, who would have thunk!

If it is then why can the majority of ICE be handed their ass in performance by Tesla?

Welcome Dennis, great to have you here. Please in the New member thread introduce yourself to everyone. We love to hear about your auto interests and passions. I agree, they need to address the drop in MPG for better understanding.

I am wondering if they are using those plastic push pins to hold it on and water builds up under the bumper and the weight causes it to drop off. Either way, this shows just how cheap they have gotten in their poor quality of bumpers. Tesla has some great tech and superior built electronics, but their assembly is anything but quality and right now I say they are where KIA / Hyundai are when they first started in the auto industry. Crap

You complain about the weird looking i Series and how they lack looking like normal auto's. Now a normal looking EV is coming and you pre-Judge it. You do not know how it will be received. A normal looking 3 series like the rest of the family, with 300 miles of range and less maintenance cost, lower fueling costs and quiet sounds like a win for those that are tired of waiting for the over rated Tesla Model 3.

Agree the i8 is overpriced, over rated. The 330e is a flop as a mild hybrid with only 14 miles is a joke, not worth the cost. I truly think the next OEM with a 300 mile range pure EV is going to take Tesla's lunch of a model 3 swdan. Tesla quality is a joke and I do believe there is enough demand that once you get another builder making a car or cuv with a 300 mile range that can produce in quantity with quality that Tesla will hurt.

On the bus heading home. Just saw a powder blue lambrogini. Ugly as heck, never seen the design before, but

I can understand what you are saying, but that weight is a warm up set for me in squats in the gym ?️‍♂️

Not really, as stated in the write up it was put against the Harley Davidson Street Glide in base form which does not have the side bages or all the covers and that starts at 810 lbs. To me and yes I know I am much bigger than you, this bike would be no big deal to handle. Love the Looks, kinda reminds me of a Judge Dredd bike.

Way too funny seeing that label above the Fake Tail pipes. I honestly hope they come out of the gate right with a 300 mile battery pack. Put tesla in their place. After reviewing these pictures, if BMW truly delivers on an EV sedan with 300 miles that you cannot tell apart from an ICE Series 3 sedan, they will really hit Tesla hard as I think most people will take an EV without even thinking about it. Just another Torquay silent car that glides along, charging on cheap electricity with lower maintenance.
