  1. Short sighted vision, GM incurred costs to stop / slow down EV production not because it was costing them money as they were at a breakeven point. Honda was smart to team up with GM and could move forward, but again short-sighted view makes me think Honda Automotive is not long for staying independent in this new era.
  2. I also saw that the Sony Honda Mobility EVs have been canceled now too. SHM is a dead thing along with anything EV for Honda. Going to be interesting to see if Honda can survive on its own going down the next 10 years for the auto industry. I also see Mazda not staying independant for long especially with the major class action lawsuit on Mazda CUVs.
  3. Idiot47 is not going to win the war against electric autos as the interest is at an all-time high with gas prices hitting all time high's, higher than almost any other time. https://www.ktnv.com/news/rising-gas-prices-across-las-vegas-are-pushing-drivers-to-consider-switching-to-electric-vehicles?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_CCGV5A7_qSqHZlQFcyH8blELmYh2cmfRDKBomrMd-o1v-ECoY1Tfd5ZWF0Le-jc_MUwT9WGuqAJtvTYejs-71NYcTXc68RV3hWnzpEUqndUs05Zw&_hsmi=410382364&utm_content=410382364&utm_source=hs_email
  4. OUCH, our biggest oil refinery in Texas exploded today taking offline 435,000 barrels of processed oil a day. Get ready for higher gas prices. Large blast at Valero oil refinery in Texas sends smoke, flames into the air - CBS News
  5. Found this and have to say it is very cool, just wish it was an EV. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rxLZo47B/1984-chevrolet-el-camino-gnx-conversion
  6. Awesome change coming, so excited for C&G!!! Thank you Drew
  7. @Drew Dowdell Is this the last year for this?
  8. Interesting, programmable door handles, if you unlock the auto, they will stay out, but if you approach it while locked with the fob, they will pop out and if within 3 min you do not open a door, pull back in keeping the auto locked.
  9. OUCH Apple is paring the tech options. Apple quietly kills 15 devices - is yours on the list?
  10. Yes they retract when you get in to drive or lock it, but when the auto sits unlocked, they stay out and I know how easy it is to possibly break them as I was going between auto's at my 24hr fitness this week and thought it weird that they were out and as I went between, the door handle hooked my work out short pocket and bent a bit before I unhooked myself. As I walked to enter the gym, a person came out and locked it, clearly forgetting they had left it unlocked. To me a hook type door handle is more dangerous than the circle loop door handle that pops out of my EV9. Now I do get the fact that some companies like Tesla have failed to make sure the door handles pop out for emergency release / escape. Cadillac is also guilty of this for both outside and inside door handles. Kia / Hyundai / Genesis did the following: Mechanical backup access: There is a hidden physical key slot behind the driver’s door handle area. Using the physical key lets you mechanically unlock the door even if the handle doesn’t pop out or during a power outage. All EVs have a manual interior door release that works without power so that people inside can always get out no matter the situation. This is all on my quick info card on the EV and I checked online with the Kia digital manuals. Hyundai and Genesis also say the same thing when searching online.
