  1. This is so true, 3 of my coworkers have them and 1 only drives it on sunny warm days. The other two have them on trailers as they race them only. Not a car I have ever been impressed with.
  2. America due to Education has moved to an Educated Engineering and creation workforce with service replacing manufacturing. Lowest cost has always been 3rd world order and Idiot Potus knows this as his daughters product line uses cheaply paid labor to copy others products and sell as her own. This is just a look over here as I abuse the system for my own gain on the other side. Nafta should be expanded as other very smart men were trying to do before Idiot took over and banged his drum on American content that will never truly happen.
  3. You can have all the pro sports teams you want from us. I hate em all, no use for these over paid cry babies and their overblown owners who think the tax payers should build the palaces for their over paid jocks to play in when they can afford it themselves. I will never support the pro sports till the owners give back the money that should go to the local schools. Example, Hate the Seahawks of Seattle WA as Paul Allen the billionaire with 18 billion of net worth should have never gotten the 450 million that paid for the sport arena and then the idiots on the city council said he had to collect sales tax, but could keep it rather than going into supporting the city and the tax payers would cover the 28 million a year in maintenance and janitorial costs. Why does a Billionaire need everything free? Hate em all, worthless and brings no value to the city. Back on NAFTA, to compete against the European Union and the Asian contingent, we need NAFTA. We had a chance to expand NAFTA to include Asia and have a better trade zone, but no, idiots are in charge that are clueless to global trade. Hopefully we can keep the flow of goods over and back across Canada, US and Mexico going till we can elect a better person to lead this great country. I warn to the north and south, Potus45 might just get crazy and try to invade to expand the US.
  4. You can have all the hockey stuff, do not care, love to ski and be on the snow more than sitting on my but watching a bunch of overgrown kids fight. Then again, blood spilling, In regards to NAFTA, I have always thought 50, 25, 25 was a balance component amount due to market size. I really hope they do not mess it up too much as I can see an adjustment on the component amount but otherwise it has worked just fine as is.
  5. I like a butt on a woman, but this is like wide load at the pig trough.
  6. Why am I not surprised by the Emperor with NO Cloths! Sergio boy could not ever really manage anything right. He sure has not done that as CEO of FCA. I wonder how sore his lips must be.
  7. Nice ride, over all I am sure a solid CUV competitor and of course the Toyota loyal Lemmings will love it. For me I usually like the brick on wheels look but this is just a Meh to me. Weird.
  8. Unions did allot of good in the early days of the 1900's, now they are just a political ass kissing machine of special interests that have hurt more than helped the average worker. Screwed once by the union, shame on them, screwed a second time by the union, shame on me, screwed a third time, time to die. Unions have screwed many of us over more than they realize and in todays modern society with more and more people getting an education or at least tradeshow certified, many have come to wonder why do I need to pay a union to represent me when I can represent myself and keep my money to myself? Especially in a socialist medicine country like Canada? I do not see the benefits of union representation.
  9. Amazing how far we have come! 1956 IBM ships their first 5MB Disk Drive. Cost was $35,000 then or $315,209.55 cents today.
  10. Yes you say lack of charging spots and yet we have found them within miles of your area. Also you say you do not want to charge at home and yet that does not stop a person in your house from being able to own a Bolt or Tesla and charge overnight always having a full charge so a decent 200+ miles of range more than you have stated you drive in a day.
  11. 10 years before you see even an extreme loss of 10% battery capacity. Heating and cooling are also very efficient now in EV auto's and affect the battery capacity at no more than 10% except for extreme places like Death Valley, maybe all of Arizona on a 105+ day or extreme to the north. Engineering has pretty much removed all these excuses you bring up. Tesla and GM even Nissan have tested their EV's in extreme temps to make sure minimal battery loss of power due to Heating and cooling or age.
  12. If they do settle this, I would avoid buying as I bet there will be some frustration issues and it could be taken out in quality on the auto's.
  13. Seems the Tesla 3 Forum fans are also very disappointed in the Supercharger lack of with the Tesla 3. Per Tesla: Standard Battery Range: 220 miles (EPA estimated) Supercharging rate: 130 miles of range per 30 minutes Home charging rate: 30 miles of range per hour (240V outlet, 32A) Long Range Battery - $9,000 Range: 310 miles Supercharging rate: 170 miles of range per 30 minutes Home charging rate: 37 miles of range per hour (240V outlet, 40A) Yet it seems many are wondering why and the answer is very clear, cost, warranty, etc. Your not paying for the S class of Tesla, your paying for the 3 class of low mass produced Tesla. The Average Joe, nothing special. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/slower-supercharging-on-model-3.94934/ Plenty of interesting reads: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/forums/model-3.137/ Seems some are very concerned even among the faithful about the lack of manual controls and the single screen. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/is-a-lack-of-instrumentation-dangerous.95539/ Yet move to the Real Tesla Site and I am happy to see many have questioned why the Tesla 3 does NOT have HUD. Seem I am not the only one that has concerns with the single screen that is touch only and takes your eyes off the road. https://forums.tesla.com/forum/tesla-model-3
  14. Can I opt out if Potus45 calls for a fill in? I get the point your making.
  15. Course this is all for nothing as proper lazy people would pay for the wireless charging option so every time they come home and park in the same garage or spot on their driveway, they would get charged up and you would never be empty or low even in an Emergency situation. The company that built this solution for the VOLT, Leaf, i3 they support all the compliance EV's has also expanded to make it work for the BOLT and Tesla. So why plug when you can just wirelessly charge.
  16. COOL ROAD TRIPS, Some of us enjoying seeing North America from the ground not at 35,000 feet.
  17. At least GM is involved in this along with Ford and others. They see the future, but like our stupid government that has decided to allow multiple standards for cell phone, it would seem it is willing to let the consumers waste money on lower standards. In this regards I praise Tesla for the SuperCharger, Hopefully VW fine that will go into the nation Charger system will help push to this much higher standard. The tech is there, why not just go with 800 kWh charging. Jump and not just leap to a new level.
  18. Sounds Like Something a German Auto Company would do!
  19. No not everyone wants self driving auto's or to share a rented auto with others. Many people are pigs and have ZERO respect for the auto they are in. I like my auto's clean, pristine and I have yet to see anyone around where I live keep their auto's clean and nice like I do. This will only work for a fraction of the population as I know I am not the only one that takes care of their auto's and then you have the other end, my boss, does not care about a car as long as it gets him out to go camping, hiking and fishing and he just spent $3K on his 17 year old subaru as he did not see a reason to get a new auto. Cheap, easy to fix and low cost for him even though he makes way more money than I do. This program will only work for certain types of people even when it drops to $350 per month as you say.
  20. Both are Sexy MF.! Reliability I put on the Hemi over the Alfa crap.
  21. That was a 2017 Focus RS, how is that 2 model years? I also have plenty to like of the trucks, cars and suv / cuv from the American nameplates. So I will politely agree to disagree with you on what I like.
