    I understand the people on the streets and in the homes want the quietness/cleanliness but they're not paying for the trucks to deliver so what's that really matter? I'm definitely not opposed to the whole EV work truck thing, I'm just saying at that short of daily driving it would take beyond the truck's useful life to pay itself off.

    It's a little tough to believe they really only drive 50-60 miles a day. It would take forever to pay off the EV premium therefore it wouldn't even be worth it. They would also only need to fill up a diesel tank once a week with that kind of mileage.

    I thought this had the 1.8T and 3.6 V6..? Is the 2.0T new to the Passat? A buddy of mine bought a 2017 SE with the lighting package as a dealer used for $18,500 with only 7600 miles on it. Heck of a price.

    What kind of products are they delivering that they need that kind of payload capacity yet they are only driving 50-60 miles a day?
  5. ccap41
    I get that but that $20 goes vastly different ranges if it is a Cruze or if it is a Duramax 3500. I know that is an extreme difference but a compact car vs a mid size CUV get very different fuel economy.

    Well yeah, anybody whose route is the maximum distance the vehicle could travel, wouldn't be ideal. That 110 mile range would be dropping to 70-80 miles in the winter so this is more of a warm weather solution unless their trips really are that short.

    That's just stupid to me. X does something stupid so A, B, C, and D all follow along...

    Why are they referring to charging time in miles? Shouldn't they be saying they will charge a 100kW(example) battery in X minutes? That range will depend on the vehicle and it might take 20kW for a CUV but only 15kW for a car to travel 100 miles which would be two different charging rates. It is also nice everybody is looking to overtake Tesla's Supercharger system but how long until those are widespread like Tesla's already is? I mean they've got to be 5-10 years behind Tesla in that regard even though their charging rates will be much quicker. This is 3 years of development away plus they have to actually implement it.

    Absolutely and that would double or triple the range by being able to charge while not skipping a beat throughout the day. That 110 mile range could turn into driving 200 miles in a day and none of that is spent waiting at a pump and driving out of their way to the pump. Productivity up, costs down. Sounds like a win-win if they do it right.
  10. ccap41
    It sounds very promising as long as they place the chargers near the loading docks so they can charge and load at the same time so when they're parked for an hour loading/unloading at the HQ they can recharge some and go back on their way. That would be ideal.

    "If it was not for their CUVs, this company would be hurting big time." Insert any automaker. ?

    You're right, I doubt anybody can tell the difference between the CLA and S Class. Aren't you a Cadillac fan? And you're okay with them doing the same thing from ATS to CT6? Every automaker has come to this. MB is no exception, it's the norm.
  14. ccap41
    Absolutely. And within each model they have a couple engine choices as well. As a consumer, we should at least love what they bring to the market even if you don't like the products' styling/design.
  15. ccap41
    So you're still not going to give examples of how they have duplicates in their lineup? That has nothing to liking or disliking a brand. And no, I don't find perfection in their lineup. Is it more full or better than most? I don't see any objective reason why it wouldn't be considered the top luxury brand.
  16. ccap41
    @dfelt Why no response?
  17. ccap41
    I just think the car looks hot in general.
  18. ccap41
    Hahaha, RIGHT???
  19. ccap41
    What duplication? While there is definitely some overlap one is a GT car and one is a sports car. At least that is how I view them.
  20. ccap41
    Yeah that's why I was confused because I really didn't think they were ever produced side-by-side.
  21. ccap41
    OH SL! I was thinking SLS the whole time. Thank you! ?‍♂️

    Maybe if Jeep offered a Wrangler for 15-18k(where the Roxor is priced at) they'd have me on their side but the cheapest Wrangler is 28k. I think I remembered reading yesterday that the Roxor has a 62hp/140tq engine matted to a 5spd manual only. Seems like it would be the perfect ranch vehicle.
  23. ccap41
    They've never been produced at the same time, have they? If they did it had to have been leftovers of the SL selling while the AMG GT was being produced.
  24. ccap41
    So what? The models that compete with the "luxury only" Cadillac are still superior vehicles in most ways. Then their low appliance-like cars are still offered with a gnarly AMG variant. They don't have duplications anywhere. Where do they have two of the same cars offered? The closest things would be the GLE and the GLE Coupe(and GLC). The only two vehicles that come off in any possible way as appliances are the CLA and GLA. Everything else is very premium for their respective classes.
  25. ccap41
    FCK off FCA. The Roxor is of-road only. It's probably more competitive towards side-by-sides than a Wrangler.
