  1. It is weird when your used to having defined headlights, but it seems to be the trend to give options for styling with day time running lights and move the headlights into the bumper area with the auto highbeam off feature. Not the best styling IMHO, but then this current Buick seems to have gone Big Mouth Billey Bass with that huge ugly black grill.
  2. One very evil and unattractive woman.
  3. This is very cool watching this EV transform into a Shooting Brake style of auto. English sub-titles.
  4. Some very cool reads: Hyundai IONIQ 5 N to Compete for Production EV SUV/Crossover Record at Pikes Peak - Korean Car Blog (thekoreancarblog.com) Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Test Mule Spied: A Glimpse into the Future of EV Performance - Korean Car Blog (thekoreancarblog.com) Seems Hyundai wants the most reliable SUV title: Hyundai Spied Benchmarking Grand Highlander - Korean Car Blog (thekoreancarblog.com) US-Spec IONIQ 9 Spied in California - Korean Car Blog (thekoreancarblog.com)
  5. OUCH this is not looking good for Tesla Sales of EVs. These Graphs Show How Much Tesla Is Struggling To Sell Cars Right Now (insideevs.com) This is very cool for Tesla Supercharging Stations. Clearly the guy leading this division knows how to get things done. Tesla’s Prefabricated Supercharger Units Can Go Online Four Days After Being Delivered (insideevs.com)
  6. Hopefully as EVs become more common and more people see the fear mongering of certain groups is overblown that they also come to realize the future of EVs and charging. I still believe the future is very bright for the EV future. I see very few reasons for a person to buy a Hybrid over an EV today. Yes there are valid use cases such as a medical product rep who will drive hundreds of miles in a day visiting medical facilities, but more than anything, I believe that EVs will take care of the bulk of people now.
  7. Interesting that Tesla has also announced so many new mega size Charging stations that are all supposed to be V4 generation, so keep the competition at a slower speed and show off the higher speed on new Tesla model upgrades. Yet anything in the 10 to 20 min range for 80% charge is really good compared to only a year ago. Makes one wonder if pretty much everyone else will not move to 250 kW charging for the Tesla Stations this year and be interesting to see how the kW controllers play out for L2 charging based on installations at destination locations.
  8. That interior looks tight. My sister in-law has two of these and they both are in constantly for water leaks and electrical issues. Yet they still love them. Talk about selling old stagnant auto's imho.
  9. I like that the steering wheel gives a big clean view of the dash for ease and safety of seeing everything. Agree on the exterior.
  10. Interesting to see how this new motor holds up. One of the things that was very clear in the Mach e tear down was that the EV motors were very beefy in their build and should last a good long time. @Drew Dowdell So increasing charge speed would indicate an improvement in the charging controller. Current Mache e controller was rated at 150 kW top DC charging and 19.2 kW for home charging. Did they state what the new figures were?
  11. Thinking on that 30" dash screen which reminds me of the current Escalade. I wonder if all of GM auto's will go to having a version of this big screen to lower cost for both ICE and EVs.
  12. I see Buick going the BMW route as if the bigger the front grill the better for some stupid reason. Must be a German / Chinese thing as I noticed all the Chinese brands have huge grills. Just terrible ?
  13. Take this for a spin on creating your favorite auto as an EV. https://perchance.org/ai-photo-generator
  14. The fun crazy stuff we do when we are Shreck Size!!! Me in small cars!
  15. True, was a tight fit, but fun to test drive.
  16. Yes, Hyundai, Kia and Genesis EVs all get the full $7,500 rebate if you lease. This fall when production starts here in the US, then purchases will also get the full $7,500.
  17. I always liked the Talon TSi AWD, was wanting to buy one, but life happens with a wife and kids.
  18. Seems that with the EV5 and EV3 that Kia is planning to bring to market, we will see better EVs at cheaper prices. EV3 should be that mid $20K EV. Good read, interesting info. Hyundai Motor, Kia top Ford, GM in US EV sales with affordability (electrek.co)
  19. Time to have the driveway pressure washed, get all that black mold off and have a nice clean driveway. I will be doing that to mine once I finish my current projects. I have the following Honda Motor based system. Would replace it with an Electric system if they had one, but seems the Electric pressure washing systems are behind the ICE systems. As such, this is the last ICE tool I have for the house other than my auto's.

  20. Agree, Fire Musk and see a considerable stock rise based on also getting a competent CEO that will run the company as a company. Have you seen with the discounts you can get the Niro EV for $260 a month on Lease with the IRA rebate. Seems if you buy your looking at Mid-$30K price.
  21. Hard facts that show EVs give us the clean air we all want. We've been promised that EVs will lead to cleaner air. This Bay Area study just proved it - Fast Company
