  1. Jesus Christ, Olds.. Like Drew was saying... if you're regularly charging just a little more than you need to get from A to B(chargers) meaning you're not approaching this scenario with a full charge because..I don't know.. it's a got damn emergency and unexpected..
  2. If you're in a hurry a 30 minute wait isn't what you're looking for, regardless of the vehicle you're charging. Hopefully a charger is available too. That's game-changing type of charging right there.
  3. It came out in 2016, 2018's are on lots. All of them are the same car, no updates.
  4. miles* 90 miles in 30 minutes. http://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-model-3-chevrolet-bolt-specs-comparison/ Which is still much slower than a Tesla on a SuperCharger. 130 miles in 30 minutes.
  5. Are you talking about the Bolt? That's like a hybid of a suv/car/van thing. It sure as heck isn't a "car". The Volt is a car but it's a plug-in. I'm not hating one bit but the Bolt is ugly compared to the Model 3. Had GM went with a genuine CAR I'd likely like it a heck of a lot more. Its tech and abilities are awesome. It just doesn't look very good. By the way, it's easy to click the top link of a google search. I wouldn't say the top link was "Googles hit heart out" but you don't like to hear anything negative about The Mother Ship...
  6. A few things from my opinion book... First, CLASSIC AMERICANS! Going through a McDonald's drive through.. Second, I hope this is a Caddy because I think Caddy needs it more for their stable than Chevy does for its first year. Third, I think those wheels look sweet but I think it's kind of funny when you zoom in on them it looks like they couldn't decide between two wheels and just said, "fck it, let's do them both". ( Split 5 spoke with a 5 spoke on top. )
  7. I chastised you for thinking every vehicle on the road today is ugly? Please tag me on that post.
  8. All you like is soul-less EVs and huge vehicles. Everything else is "jelly bean", "derivative", "hideous", or "too small". It appears GM is still learning how to build EVs as well. Nobody is perfect... https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/26/chevy-bolt-ev-battery-issues/ Malibu EV would be fantastic and I guarantee that size vehicle is one of their upcoming EV's that they said would be out by like, what, 2020 or so?
  9. That's my point... It's been 2 model years worth of vehicles since you liked anything.
  10. What was the last vehicle you didn't say that about?
  11. That's because you have poor taste in vehicles...
  12. If you have 271k to spend on your vehicle you have the money to replace/repair those things you listed though. WE care about those things because we couldn't afford to fix them now and we would want it in pristine condition. If you have the dough though, you'd do anything you want in this that you would in a Range Rover or something. I don't think owners care about what platform their Bentley is on...
  13. Well, until GM makes an EV car.. it is easily the best looker of the available "affordable" EVs.
  14. I didn't tell you what to do. I just stated what you were, and that was triggered. Sorry we agree on something...?
  15. ^ I don't doubt that at all but I still don't like the idea of it. It'll probably be great and all of that as well. Just like plugging a V6 into the Ford GT. It might still be great but I don't like the idea of a V6, be it great or not, in a super car like that. Not quite the same comparison, but similar.
  16. I'm not too stoked about that news but everything sh!tty around Sergio shouldn't surprise me.
  17. Wow 22 years?!? I do remember doing the math on it a long time ago but I think I was doing the savings over the 5.7 not the 3.6. At that time until it pays for itself you genuinely have to just want that engine.
  18. They'd have free gas for the ownership of the vehicle by not paying the premium for the 3.0 diesel.
  19. Their problem is the automation that they expected to be ready by now still is having issues. Once they have everything running properly I don't see how they would project incorrectly. As of now, the assembly line just isn't in motion..
  20. He's trying to run the most automated production line and having issues getting all of the kinks worked out. lol they have employees who have worked for major auto companies. They aren't just winging it. The irony in this post...
  21. I think the whole turbo 4-banger thing is overrated these days. It isn't average Joe and his friends turbo-ing one of their own cars with factory internals rated for stock power levels.. This is an OEM turbo setup. If they are smart(it is FCA ) they did their testing and retesting..and RETESTING on everything and it is 100% designed around the turbo boost levels and longevity should be a non-issue. Look at the Ecoboost F150's from 2011.. If there are any complaints about them it isn't engine failure, maybe sh!t components or whatnot but not the engine itself spining a baring or throwing a rod or some sh!t.
  22. The downtown bus is like that.. sketchy. The bus I take 75% of the people on it are from smaller suburban town of about 10,000. It's rarely over packed, sometimes it is though but I don't mind standing as I sit ALL DAY at work(it's only like that on the way home for some reason). Oh, and it has wifi. I still use it to listen to STL Blues and Cardinal games from time to time.
  23. Oh sorry, I commute to work on a bus(well I drive 5 miles to the bus stop then the other 30 on the bus). I DO NOT listen through my headphones while I drive. Somebody needs to explain this... Tesla's very own website.
  24. I think it's just ahead of it's time.. Like Apple with ditching the headphone jack. Stupid mistake right away but I see Google is following along as well as wireless headphones are slowly becoming more and more popular. Similarly, radio. I don't think it's going to get the boot anytime soon but it does seem like a slowing medium as more and more phone plans are becoming "unlimited" allowing people to stream whatever they want wherever they want now. But, that's not exactly the case just yet. "Glaring omission" sounds about perfect. Suck it @oldshurst442, you're wrong. For what it's worth... I use both wireless headphones(gym) and wired headphones(work commute/lunch break) and would(will) be annoyed to not have a headphone jack...all the while I have an iPhone 6. Also, without radio and Bluetooth... does the car even have speakers?!?!? LOL okay this free internet will magically go from my phone to the car?? Or is it just through the car's system? I don't know what kind of app situation the car has but if it has internet and has radio apps then there's zero issue because... IT HAS RADIO.
