    Thor Trucks, Able to deliver before Tesla? From the skunks work world of downtown L.A. comes the latest electrical truck start up. Thor Truck is the latest darling that has probably one of the best chances to actually deliver and put considerable pressure on Paccar, owner of Kenworth and Peterbilt, Mac, Volvo, White and many others that build for the class 8 market. Thor Truck introduced just before Xmas their ET-One Class 8 Semi delivering the following details: Top Speed of 70 mph hauling it's maximum capacity Maximum capacity of 80,000 lbs per trailer load 4,700 pound-feet of torque at zero rpm Battery rang of up to 300 miles 60 % cheaper maintenance cost 70 % cheaper fuel cost 100 % fewer emissions from the actual driven truck 90 minute depletion to full charge time 22 inch dashboard touchscreen 100 mile range version starts at $150,000 300 mile range version starts at $250,000 According to the CEO and company founder Dakota Semler, who praised his staff and posted the following on his blog: “We wanted to show the world that you don’t have to be a big original equipment manufacturer, like a Ford or GM, or a tech mogul with deep pockets to start making progress in this space,” wrote Semler. “With no outside funding, we assembled a team of experienced, gutsy, and passionate engineers and went to work researching and designing the ET-One in-house.” Thor Truck has stated production will begin in 2019 and pre-ordering will open soon for their local short range inner city truck, for now, they have done something that Tesla has not. They have invited fleet operators around the US to participate in a limited fleet demonstrations of their modest fleet of semi's using them in real world use. Thor has set up an FAQ site for answering most of the questions one would ask such as service, warranty, powertrain, dealerships, battery, charging and so much more. Thor Truck Web Site

    So an even smaller Bag of Poo with a 3 star badge on it that people will think is superior to any other auto out there and yet is no different than buying a Toyota, Ford or Chevy.

    WOW, Looks like their butt ugly Hydrogen bomb car design.

    Be interesting, I think this is more desirable than their past versions.

    @ykX @Drew Dowdell @ccap41 So what do you guys think about AWD, just a motor front and rear between the wheels or in-wheel hub motors with Torque vectoring for maximum push in and out of corners? I agree with Drew that EV with it's 100% Torque from Zero and continue to dial in the driving characteristics is an outstanding way to take the Camaro and even the Mustang to the next level of performance. Anyone that has seen the videos or actually been in a Tesla with Ludicrous mode knows the gut pulling G's of performance fun.

    That is one sharp station wagon! Love it in that Maroon!

    Far better than the X1 and I applaud them for not going the Crappy Coupe style. Still very blah to me.

    Interesting, at Least GM can focus on building up a war chest of money, pay off debt and get prepped to make a full global push once they have the right pieces in place. Totally agree with this. Biggest mistake was them buying Opel to begin with I always thought versus building out a focus dealership network. I agree with Drew, GM needs to build out a proper network rather than rely on old Opel or other brand locations to sell a few cars.

    I have to say, that is very polarizing, but I kinda like it way better than the Chevy!

    Chevy Camaro, EV, Hybrid, What do you think? Discuss! We are on the cusp of change, change is never liked by all, but is inevitable. With that said, and brought up by other members in some other threads, I felt it was time we had a section to discuss what the future of the Camaro might be. Will it include an EV only powertrain, Hybrid, both and will AWD come to the Camaro? Or due to being a pony car, should it stay ICE only. Sound off on what you think should happen and your thoughts about this!

    And old men, salespeople are sleeze in that regards of praying on the easily manipulated. Did something happen to your mom?

    Afraid of the Aussie Aussie Aussie's are we?

    Low True, but talk to those that bought them and they love them and the 110 outlets in the bed. Change is hard especially for the blue collar work force and when then price it high, as the price drops, I can see the conversion easily happen. Less Maintenance, lower cost to fuel, easily a change over that companies that use plenty of pickup trucks would love.

    Nice Update, I like the looks even more than the initial version on release.
  18. G. David Felt
    Still ugly as ever.

    The station wagon he bought new in southern california before moving up to washington so maybe it was a custom job as they did allot of stuff like that in California.

    @ocnblu @Cubical-aka-Moltar @balthazar I will have to go to my parents to dig out some photo's and scan them in. My dad always said it was a rare auto, he had it painted tan, so not sure what the original color was but it was an early to mid 60's Lincoln Station wagon that looked like this one I found online. I could be wrong since I was a small kid growing up till it was replaced with the Olds 98 station wagon. I have included our master of all things old to help me out, but I do remember the long rear glass and the suicide doors, so pretty sure it was a Lincoln.

    Weird, Maybe this is a west versus East thing as I just measured my garage as my Split Level house was built in 1952, 2 car garage and the inside dimensions from the Garage door to the foundation on the other side is 29', 30 feet if I go foundation to foundation in the garage, but the auto cannot take advantage of that last foot as the garage door is recessed. So having never lived in a house on the east coast maybe this is just a difference in type of homes built.

    Good to know you finally admit what MB really is, a badge on dog poo!
  23. G. David Felt
    Be interesting to see who they use as a battery supplier and what they bring that is different than the competition.
  24. G. David Felt
    Plenty of Tesla X on Autotrader with decent mileage and decent pricing.
  25. G. David Felt
    Totally makes sense and is understandable. I am very interested in their CUV/SUV plans along with EVs.
