Makes one wonder if GM could eventually after getting things going on the BOLT with LG use Tesla Gigafactory as a secondary supplier of battery cells. I wouldn't doubt that at all. I think it would be smart on their part and they can probably push "built in America" some as well.

Have you been in the new XD? There was one at the STL auto show back in January(or February..) and I was surprised how nice it was inside. Granted I didn't have similarly priced/equipped D3 trucks to compare it to at the same exact time but I thought the interior kind of rocked. If only they could work on the proportions a little better... I just think the XD needed to up it's payload and towing capacity just a little more to really stand apart from the half-tons and become a very good value. Even if the towing just tipped the 13,000lb mark just to say it does. I think that would widen the gap a little better and just looking at a Silverado and F150 can tow 12,xxxlbs and this can tow 12,xxxlbs just looks too similar to not go the F150/Silverado route unless you tow on a regular basis in which I have to believe the larger, heavier truck will just be better suited for "work". Nope never been in one, only making my personal opinion based on the pictures and I still am not impressed. Glad to hear they are better in person, but from these pictures, I would not bother looking at one. This drives home the importance of putting on that first impression as pictures speak a thousand words and then some. I wouldn't consider one just because they don't seem to do anything more than the GM/Ford half tons which have a billion and one configurations available and one of those that I think I would want is the middle cab side. The only thing that really grabs my attention is the 5.0 Cummins. But that's about it. Yeah after looking at those pictures it doesn't do much for me. This is what I sat in basically... Scroll down to the interior pics.. the brown looks great imo. http://www.trucktrend.com/news/1505-2016-nissan-titan-xd/

I actually think this is where electric vehicles should have started and grown into "civilian" use as infrastructures grew. I freakin love the idea. I'm kind of surprised it took this long for work trucks to become electric but with the limited range I understand why. I have to assume that the quoted 126 miles should be at max capacity, right? Therefore kind of a worst case scenario situation? I don't know what kind of miles these trucks do a day but I would think a lot of shorter trips could be about 100 miles a day and this seems like it is borderline not enough capacity because when its 20 degrees out you won't get 126 miles and when its 100 degrees out...you also won't get 126 miles. I'm curious about the charge time on this as well because I have to assume the battery packs are much larger than what Tesla is using to be able to propel the mass that they will. I hope this pans out because the less pollution the better!

I just found out yesterday that businesses can rent rare Pokemon for people to catch to entice more patrons. I don't know what it costs but it's a pretty dang good idea.

Great numbers! I completely feel you on the 70+mph with a strong mpg drop off. From 50-60mph I can get 30-35mpg but once I get to 65-75mph that drops to barely the highway rating of 28mpg and if there's any wind it will definitely be below the 28mpg rating. Winter is even worse.. I am surprised it didn't seem as happy on 91.. I wouldn't think it would take a tank to adjust but maybe it does. Did it at least feel like there was a little extra pep(maybe just mental)?

A year old? The first post was in 2011! lol I'm an iPhone guy myself.. awaiting the news on the next one as it is likely going to be my next phone. Every two years for me. I'm currently rocking the iPhone6 If there is no technical reason to upgrade to the next iPhone, will you consider something else that is technically better or still go with the new iPhone? Techwise, seems the last round went to the Samsung Galaxy as a superior phone over iPhone. Nope. lol I like the simplicity and my familiarity with their phones too much. Unless it seems like it takes a step back(like if the 6 never grew in size type of thing) then I would. But the only thing I don't like about iPhones is that I cannot replace the battery. Other than that I've never had an issue. The only reason I wish I could replace the battery is because the end of my two years with it, it tends to eat through battery life. But I almost always have a charger on me as it is(home, work, car, portable one I keep in my back pack that I take to work every day).

Congratualtions, Cory!! That's freakin' awesome news!

I hope every accountant that knew about this, because I feel like they had to have, gets fired. Along with everybody else that knew about what was going on that either said nothing or was responsible for it. Essentially stealing from their investors by inflating numbers to make their company look better than it is..therefore increasing their stock price when it should not have.

There are certain posters I can't fckn stand some times. <-me (if there was a picture of a dude with a gun blowing his brains out, I would have used that one)

Says the poster of the other not so random post? Good grief man. Suck it up and grow a sack (as you told me the other day). Now that above was not random at all. Carry on random land. How was mine not random? Jesus, man. It came to my head, I typed it, and I posted it. If you feel like it was about you..sorry.. maybe don't be so self centered. You need to get out and get a job to entertain yourself a little more.

I feel one of those two was way less random than the other...

Hahaha that's &#036;h&#33;ty luck! I didn't know they can run away from you.. My brother had a 905 Dragonite that "ran away" or however they worded it. He sent me a Snap, "the one that got away" lol I might have to try the game out.. How many are the "new" Pokemon though? I was only into it for the original 150 back in the day and if it's a lot of ones past that I will lose interest really quick.

Might as well delete everything except the one or two posts actually about the original post. No point in leaving any of them if you're going to get rid of some.

How come some are allowed to stroll around and troll and hijack threads?

The gym membership was to correlate a fad for a specific person, just like Pokemon. Both last a month or two and both get more exercise than without. That was my point in comparing the two. I don't see how they are THAT different to compare when talking fads. One is just a personal fad and one is a worldwide fad. Genuinely asking, how are the two fads that different? I'm more sensitive to..at least people are getting off their butts and moving w/ the game. Love or hate the game itself..some tacky anime game that looks super childish at least people who are obsessed with their phones and games are moving around some. That's literally the only reason I'm in full support for it. Fads come and go all of the time.. some suck..some are awesome and stick around.. Another genuine question, how long does it take for a fad to become something that isn't a fad anymore? And yet again, the handful of people that I know that are into it aren't the couch potato, blaming others, and selfie-aholic type of people you're generalizing all video gamer type of people(my mom is a couch potato but the others aren't at all). This game had reached such a broad spectrum of people.

They absolutely were not going outside before. I've had family members, friends, relatives that have gone waaaaay out of heir way to walk or bike a heck of a lot for this game. Like the concept of "Pokemon" or not, it's gotten people to move a lot more in the past month than anything else.Then maybe it's different in your area but I'm not blind and I see these phone zombies out and about everyday. What happens when the fad burns out in a month (it's already happening according to posters on those gaming sites)?Those three groups of people I mentioned are from three different states.Who cares what happens in a month? 75% of gym members only last a month too. But if somebody told you they got a gym membership that's a good thing even though they're spending a lot more money and they too will have their craze ended in a month. This Pokemon craze has reached a broad spectrum of people and most of these people are people that are super lazy to begin with being they're addicted to a phone game. These are the people that need this walking around the most. You do realize that you're proving my point right? Most is those same users will go right back to their couches in a week after the novelty of hunting for virtual crap wears off. Point being that a smartphone game will not keep people active long term and it should not take a game like that to get them off of there asses in the first place.And again, most of the folks I have seen doing this were doing the same damn thing a month ago, only they had their faces buried in Facebook or Twitter while they were not paying attention to the world around them. Proving your point? So you do critisize people for getting gym memberships when they first tell you about it because you assume they will just give up in a month or two? I agree that I don't think it will be long term but with the current craze you know some other company is working on something similarly "active" because it's such a hit. It most certainly SHOULDN'T take a phone game to get people active but sadly too many people are just that lazy these days. There are deinitely more overweight people than in shape people out there. See from the people I've talked to: My mom(yeah..seems odd but it's spread a large age range of people) had gone on more walks in thepast two weeks looking for Pokemon. I've gotten Snaps from my friend and his girlfriend who literally got his gf's lazy, chubby, younger brothers to go on a hike for this game. My sister(who's already very active - She's run 3 Marathons) has even gone out of her way riding her bike waaaaay more than she used to and she's already active but this makes her even more so. While I agree that a game SHOULDN'T be what makes people start moving around but if it does, that's great! I haven't even started playing it and I don't want to as I'm more afraid it'll be consuming time that I should be studying or weightlifting instead of walking at a leisure pace. But it's great that people are moving around and I've seen stupid 1 minute little "articles" on the news about people meeting and actually talking at the "gyms" and other major locations.

Says the guy who called me a douche... presumably because he doesn't have as much of a life that he didn't get his feelings hurt by a poster or two. Next up: GM's PR department gets good initial feedback for the new Grand Sport Corvette! Like I've already said, grow a sack if a "-1" effects your life like it's shown to in the past, and in this thread. Having to make a post to complain about it is childish and for you to bitch and moan in the past to force a rule change and somebody to change their user name shows your lack of self security. Either act like a douche and be treated as one or act like a man and be treated like one, like everybody else here. Also, you do realize you said I "didn't get his feelings hurt by a poster or two". I assume you meant to say that I DID get my feelings hurt by a poster or two?

Looks like absolute dog&#036;h&#33;.. But that shade of purple is awesome. I will give them that little bit.

I don't care if it's an observation or whatever it is. Making a post out of it is stupid as F. If you care enough to make a post about it you don't have enough sack to not care about one tiny little "-1" on some Internet website. Again, grow a set if a vote of any kind has any effect on your life.

Nah, they don't need to. The only real reasons they need to is to appease fanboys like yourself that are so stuck on one or two tenths of a second on one or two performence measurements. Good lord. Children caring about "votes" again. Grow a sack.
