Very cool Compact Mobility Concept from Hyundai https://www.hyundai.com/worldwide/en/brand-journal/ioniq/concept-three

I hear so many complaints by my coworkers on the Tesla card not always doing what is should do and now Volvo seems to have the same issue. I can say that the Fob works great, but as a backup, I do have the Kia app on our phones which we love. I have also setup the encrypted digital key on the phone, but the fob is still the best imho. Volvo May Decide to Kill Off Key Card Entry & Drive for EV SUVs

GOP is so stupid, their voters got healthcare and now they still say they want to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act and yet their own Voters are demanding they keep it. What Idiots. Republicans again find themselves in an Obamacare pickle This continues to prove how the U.S. is falling behind the world as there is NO GOLDEN AGE of going backwards to old Dino Powered Auto's. The world and humanity move forward, the U.S. needs to move forward. Time for the Boomers to fertilize the fields and let the younger generations move the U.S. forward. Why the U.S. is falling behind in the global shift to electric vehicles R.I.P. While not a huge KISS fan, they did play a role in my life growing up. Gene Simmons, Rush, Tom Morello, More Honor Kiss' Ace Frehley: ‘My First Guitar Hero' OUCH Hackers backed by China blamed for cyberattack on Seattle tech company F5 is so heavily used, I am surprised that the forensics show that China was in the company systems for a year. How can you be so lazy to not monitor and test and verify security. This just proves how much Idiot47 is an Idiot. Talk about giving away America to others for his own gain. Trump’s Qatar military deal is historic — for all the wrong reasons

This just proves how stupid the current administration is about cutting everything and now people who voted for Idiot47 are woundering why they got no notice to evacuate when the storm hit.

NY Pizza and Bagels are highly overrated. Like Chicago Pizza, on a Detroit style Pizza kick lately. Tell us more about what is Montreal style pizza and bagels?

Various outside reviews are showing the numbers are ugly in dollars lost, jobs lost and the toll it will take on the auto industry. Cancelled projects, layoffs, and $22 billion lost: Trump's toll on clean energy | Latitude Media Confirmed by the company itself of Idiot47 taking their approved money that would have created jobs and products here in America, Idiot47 clearly hates America and doing the true job of growth creation. Trump slashes $100M from Kentucky battery project, reportedly weighing further cuts This will not help Stellantis, so many people are unhappy over the plastic junk quality of RAM, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler that moving all production to the U.S. is a lost cause on top of hurting Canada and jobs lost, this is going to get ugly. Ontario premier criticizes Trump after Stellantis says it will move production from Canada to the US

For the hate in our country it is going to cost the GOP more jobs and quality of life now that Idiot47 has taken the money approved and granted to companies that have started building battery plants in the south. Many companies today have stated that they will have to stop construction since Idiot47 took their money to pay the military during the shutdown caused by the GOP.

This Fascism is why I fear the U.S. is headed for Civil War!

We'll my friend, due to work, I could only laugh as I was in a meeting and now can reply to you, yes you do see that I also gave credit to Canadian folks that teach things to the U.S. as well as vice/versa. I take no offense to Phoquing this and that, I was hoping you would see the point I was politely trying to make, instead you thought I am too dumb to understand your use of dumb American, phoq America, etc. After all these posts, I get it you are angry with Idiot47, those that support him and the stupid tariff war he started which he blindly thinks will be MAGA approach to his own crimes of being a pedo, fraud, thief, etc. My point is I and I think others here appreciate you posting outside media coverage of our country, but those still here posting are neither dumb or phoq's and as such, a little respect to discuss and talk about the MAGA Idiots that are destroying the country. Many of us are college educated at least 4 years if not more and so we can handle a civil discussion at more than a 5th grade level like Idiot47. Yes, I continue to not use his real name as he has chosen to not use other names, but I prefer to not use foul language to get my point across. Since I am neither running for office nor have any interest in being president though I am eligible for that, I leave it to those that are running for higher office to use social media to capture those with lower IQ / education that need to be talked to at those levels. Again, please continue to post your outside media coverage as many here find it interesting, lets discuss what has affected this country and how it affects the auto industry. Look forward to your next amusing post. David Amazing is all the Canadian plated auto's from Vancouver BC here in Seattle and at the local train stations to go into the city for the Baseball game today. Did not know that so many folks from north of here were Toronto Blue Jay fans.

This is very interesting: White-collar workers want to switch to the trades: Report This could spell the end for some auto companies as China chokes off supply of these rare earth elements that just proves new sources outside China control are needed. Auto industry raises the alarm as China tightens export rules for rare earths I refuse to listen to any music by Kid Rock, a Nazi loving hate filled person that supports Idiot47 as he is too dumb to think and actually understand what is really going on. Easy way out due to his music and having money so he no longer thinks about what really is going on. Kid Rock Makes Quite A Claim About Trump And Black Communities — And Experts Would Like A Word The stupidity of the MAGA and people like Kid Rock in not understanding how they hurt communities. Black workers make up 17.2% of the Automotive Industry workers. Total Minority workers are 47.1% and yet they cannot seem to understand how going in all Nazi like into Black Communities does not help, but hurts this country.

Let's correct one thing, not all Americans are Dumb, Canadian lumber industry has benefited heavily from the tie ups with Washington State Lumber companies as management of the land, replanting and harvesting over decades to make things sustainable was shared to help sister / brother lumber companies north of the boarder be more efficient and profitable. Learning from mistakes of the past in America has allowed Canadians to move forward with greater efficiency. Just as we have learned much about mining better ways from Canadians who mined in permafrost and ground that is far harder to mine than in areas to the south. There is a reason why Canadian Mining companies are developing mines in the U.S. We all agree that MAGA is the Biggest Idiots of the U.S. and led by a racist hate filled Idiot47. But this does not make all Americans Dumb Phoquing Idiots to use your terminology. After all you are discussing this with U.S. citizens on a site hosted in the U.S.

Idiot47 wanted Washington State to just open up all land and harvest and even the lumber industry here called him a moron for not properly managing the land and the trees as to when they can be properly harvested, replanted, etc. He is so stupid that he is clueless about how one manages things long term. Forest Industry Supply Chain – Washington Forest Protection Association Washington’s forest products industry and timber harvest, 2020 | US Forest Service Research and Development The $36 billion dollar wood industry here generates $5.5 billion in wages and still due to demand it can never produce enough as to why we also buy wood from Canada. Idiot47 is clueless about how the global economy works and can only look at how he can get money, mostly illegal. Idiot47 hates America and does not support it, he already sold his Tesla that I honestly do not think he ever really bought, I suspect Moron Musk gave it to him. He think Royals Royce and Bentley are the best auto's in the world. Stupid is as Stupid does.

Destruction of the U.S. by Idiot47 is now truly affecting the auto industry as Kia has released their latest Press Release and now Canada but not the U.S. will get the Kia EV5 SUV and production will be in Korea as due to the Morons in Georgia, Kia / Hyundai / Genesis are quietly stopping production of all new EV models.

Very interesting the U.S. Governments investment in Canadian mineral companies. Trump's Takeover Of Canadian Rare Earths Miners Raises Major Concerns Canadian companies seem happy to have the U.S. government buy up their stock; seems the auto industry will have access to North American rare earth minerals replacing China 100%. I can so see this happening as pissing off Canadians could easily make the government say NO to U.S. ownership of these companies. The Trump administration is investing in Canadian critical mineral companies. But Ottawa can stop it | CBC News

Mariners vs. Blue Jays score, takeaways: Seattle takes commanding 2-0 ALCS lead behind Game 2 power surge - CBS Sports A Few take aways in that story on the Mariners over the Jays. 4 Takeaways from the Mariners' ALCS Game 2 Win Over the Blue Jays

Let just have this TV Show in Real Time and see who wins!

That reminds me of the 80's and 90's GM V8 motors, sucky for HP but Low end torque to move the autos along smoothly.

Auto folks need to realize that not everyone wants an auto and would rather live in the city and use bike paths to get around and let their kids play. To achieve that, Cities are going to have to invest in safe private bike / pedestrian roads. IMHO, the day of Bikes using the same road as autos has long been over.

I can see GM and Ford being a subsidiary of an Asian Auto Company one day! 😥

@A Horse With No Name Just think of a Modern 442 but in EV format. The Oldsmobile 442 stands for a combination of features that define its performance: 4: Represents the four-barrel carburetor. 4: Stands for the four-speed manual transmission. 2: Indicates the dual exhaust system. 442 Performance EV 4: 4,000 HP 4: 4 motors, 1,000hp each 2: 2 door Luxury Performance Kinda how I can see this from Genesis: Sexy as hell and needs to be produced as this would excite people to own a car!!! imho

You know the Blue states of which I live in one is very Anti-Idiot47! There is only so much that can be done till enough of the Red State Idiots wake up to how much the moron has taken from them. Hopefully sooner rather than later Sadly, the Supreme court just like all positions should never be for Life. Yet that will never happen sadly due to power hungry idiots that feel than can benefit from keeping the same idiot in the position for life. Honestly, voting for a party is Stupid no matter the country as it should be voting for the person with the best skill set to represent the people. Sadly, ignorant people make ignorant votes.

Very cool about what GM has achieved with American built Magnets! GM’s Rare-Earth Gamble Pays Off as China Tightens Magnet Exports

FAILURE, better to buy Korean EV as the testing in Europe does not show that all Chinese are making good EVs yet. I think Korea is a better choice for you.

When were these produced? Till now I was not aware that they had an 8 cylinder station wagon.

Please keep in mind that one could consider your posts to be Trolling too! Both of you are playing to the emotions of each other and while I get you are trying to be informative as to how one out of this country is seeing it by an Idiot administration that thinks they can just take what ever they want and another that is laughing at poking the up north bear and thinks it is funny till it truly bites them in the butt. At this point, the USA is screwed till enough Americans force the Moronic politicians to represent them, the 99% of America rather than the 1% of America and hold that 1% accountable to the laws and constitution. We can start by sending back home the illegal American Musk, then also kick out all the illegal Americans, aka ex-wife and current wife along with their kids to where they came from. Then prosecute Idiot47 for the laws and constitution he has broken. Yet none of it will happen due to the Corrupt Supreme court. In other news, Ford and GM will continue to shrink while preaching good news to cover up the fact that their days as Global Auto Companies are coming to a close. Stellantis will continue to try and sell 6 figure Garbage autos made of total plastic and fail. China is the new world Superpower of Economic might and the Boomers will go to their grave thinking now is the Golden Age and those that are younger will end up with crap due to the destruction of everything by the boomers / 1% class. Ran an errand to the pharmacy for my wife and came across a new Shelby Mustang that I am pretty sure has an illegal exhaust due to how loud it was. Gave me no desire to ever want to own one as it barely moved while making ear bothersome noise. @oldshurst442 Sucks for you, seems the Mariners in the Toronto backyard beat them. Miller, Mariners silence Blue Jays' bats to win Game 1 of ALCS OUCH - Miller, Mariners silence Blue Jays' bats to win Game 1 of ALCS
