    “In a new review video, Consumer Reports rips into the new Chevy Blazer EV in one of the most negative reviews we have ever seen from any respectable publication.” https://www.torquenews.com/1083/consumer-reports-absolutely-shreds-new-chevy-blazer-ev-review?fbclid=IwAR1zlho2u105p52HDaKj7qiMpjX9xSw-zLshF4VOFoeWAPZ-ssBUuSPqgpM_aem_Aa89lR9AvcUKTUVuH3_P4L8bWkEaO1LP-ma6kUXzdwEK4EaLH075y6TfSXbpBs7RvCE Remember when ULTIUM platform vehicles didn’t have issues? ?

    BUT I THOUGHT THERE WEREN'T PROBLEMS WITH ULTIUM?!!
  3. ccap41
    Those stats and knowing the noises are coming from an AMG v8... ?

    I'm a little disappointed Rivian isn't already on the list but i'm not in the market right now anyway. The list seems adequate to me. What are you interested in that isn't on the list, Hummer EV?

    Yeah, that's what supercars are about. Rarely are any of them cheap or easy to maintain. In fact, I'd wager all of them are considered "very expensive" to maintain. Have you been able to drive one?!? I took this read as more of an informative piece rather than a driven review.

    This is insane and I love it.

    I love that they're doing this. Yeah, the take rate will be low still but the people who want a manual have another option. More options are better for the consumer. My assistant manager currently drives a manual, convertible 370Z. It's been having all sorts of problems lately and she wants to replace it (yes, she). Her problem is she wants another manual, convertible, 2 seater. She doesn't want a Mustang or Camaro(no need for a back seat and she just doesn't want either) and there just isn't much else out there anymore without spending an arm and a leg. I'd still wager this is way more than she'd like to spend but this is exactly what she's wanting. When her and I were talking about this a few weeks ago, my first thought was Supra or this but there was no convertible supra and no manual BMW Z. There's no convertible Nissan Z. She also just doesn't want a Miata. She's fine with small/sporty cars but the Miata is too small for her.

    I'm pretty sure nearly the entire country has been covered, as far as road trips are concerned, for a little while now. Obviously, the more the better but, both of your road trips have been covered for awhile now with fast chargers.

    Nope, I was wrong. It's a feature in their "Premium Connectivity" section. $99/yr. https://www.tesla.com/support/connectivity Probably because it weighs less than a Suburban but I haven't looked at the differences in towing capabilties.

    I'm not Drew but, I don't believe you have to subscribe to that at Tesla. Drew will correct me if I'm wrong. ?

    Obviously, I'll need to see it in person but it looks freakin sweet in pictures. I just hope a few people actually want it over black, white, or silver.
  12. ccap41
    I LOVE that new green/blue.
  13. ccap41
    I'd be on board with that. My next vehicle will either be a half ton truck or a wagon. I just wish there were more affordable but fun wagons. The TourX is high on my list but other than that, the price doubles or triples.
  14. ccap41
    No, you included Cadillac, as well. Uhhhh.. we can just agree to disagree here. No need to announce you're leaving. We all come and go as we please.
  15. ccap41
    I just think it's silly that GM HAD hybrids in their BOF vehicles but just let them go. If they would have stuck with those, they would have easily been the best on the market today. It's also pretty ridiculous to think they'd be able to convince everybody to skip over hybrids on their way to EVs. All of us car guys understand the advantage of EVs but 99% of the population will not do research and are scared of a few headlines they read as they scroll the internets. Ohhhh I thought this EXACT same thing last night when I read a few things on the Cybertruck. MSRP, Range, towing capacity... nothing is close to the claims. Those ranges are only slightly further than Ford's and the Lightning came out like 3 years ago now. Ford's small battery in RWD is rated for 240 miles. Big battery and 4WD is rated for 320 miles.

    I also included Cadillac and Audi, FWIW. But it isn't blindly, it's for a RWD-based architecture/dynamics. I mean, I don't have a whole lot of interest in FWD luxury sedans so if it went away, there wouldn't be much loss, IMO. There is no way this has anywhere near the same driving dynamics that a CT5, C Class, 3 Series has.
  17. ccap41
    ...and Ford and Ram...
  18. ccap41
    We don't always agree but I certainly do here. I have no interest in this when I can get a 3 Series, C Class, Audi 4, Model 3 or CT5 for similar coin. If you ignore the dash to axel ratio, you wouldn't know anything was FWD vs RWD. I think the TLX looks good here but it doesn't quite have RWD proportions. That Caddy looks so much sportier than the TLX.

    If only they'd step out of the stone age with those engines and join Toyota with modern turbo and/or hybrid engines.

    I find it a little funny that my local Ford dealership has a level 2 charger but my local GM dealer has a CCS fast charger that...you guessed it... out of order.
  21. ccap41
    For that reason, I only use the desktop version when I'm at work. It's a bit of a bummer but, it is what it is.
  22. ccap41
    Of course there will! Then Cadillac will have horrible sales numbers because they're trying to sell the same thing at a much higher cost. Ford/Lincoln will probably end up doing the same thing but I can only hope Lincoln differentiates enough to justify existing. One of my good friends that sells at a Chevy/Buick/GMC dealership hates everything that GM has come out with. Everything electric they've sold has been nothing but a nightmare that's always in the service bays. I certainly wouldn't say dealerships love electric cars quite yet.
  23. ccap41
    You obviously cannot see that you're the one who put an emphasis on "NOT", that's the the part where you're injecting your opinion on the piece.
  24. ccap41
    The Problem Cadillac/GM have is that they're rebadging vehicles and as EVs, they're even more similar to their Chevrolet counterparts. They're desperately doing something to differentiate themselves, That Optiq is nothing different than an Equinox EV,,,, but it charges faster!

    The current Bolt could already utilize level 3. It was a slow level 3, but it was still level 3 capable. 55 kW.
