NACS the North American New Charging Standard?
If it's a regional issue, why does your region have an issue? You said it was the South and Midwest that have issues but you're saying your own west coast is having issues as well. I'm confused. Does the whole US have issues or just the Midwest and South, like you said before? Oh I absolutely know Tesla is not perfect. They're far from perfect. But their charging infrastructure is so much better than anything built with CCS chargers that Ford and GM have made the switch to their infrastructure. This ought to get them to make a reliable infrastructure after getting sh!t on by the three largest EV companies in the US.

Because the Tesla ones will work.

Yeah, I just hope the truck fails. It already seems like it's on its way to fail.

I do hope the Cybertruck utterly flops. It isn't because I don't like Tesla, I have no issues with them. I just hate what this "truck" is.

Classic Chinese vehicle. It's almost identical to a Model Y. Look at the dimension comparison in the article.

GM went very Dodge with a package of almost nothing but slightly different looks. It's a good looking car but doesn't seem worthy of its own package or whatnot. It's also available on every trim. You can get a Panther 2.0T and 3.6...just seems to make it less special.

Yeah, that's nice and all but it's still just so damn small. My brain still just cannot comprehend the entire market prices as a whole the last few years. I mean the average transaction price is up to 48k?!? I can't afford a 50k vehicle and my wife and I aren't poor. I just need to make more money like most people must be doing these days.

I don't think that Renegade-sized EV for 36k will compete with the Equinox EV...like at all. The Equinox will wipe the floor with the EX30.

Probably the same thing GM is doing with the Hummer EV, they give rentals for those?

It's annoying and a dick move but at least there were still empty chargers available.

From Malibu to Pensacola in less than 1,000 miles – last call for Chevy Malibu – review via 1 week rental
I don't think it has anything to do with brand name bragging. I think it's that a lot of companies have moved to cars that "handle better" and think that also requires firm seats to hold you in place. This is one reason I like Lincoln. They're not lying to anybody saying they're going for legitimate comfort over sportiness.

The Tundra is rated slightly higher. He was comparing the non=hybrid tundra to the hybrid Ram, which the Tundra still edges the Ram by 1mpg highway, both 19mpg combined. And their hybrids:

Chevrolet News:Chevy Estimated Range for Silverado EV Work Truck Raised to 450 miles
Just out of curiosity, how do you know this? Are you getting it based on the payload/towing ratings plus the assumption that it has to weigh between X - X thousand pounds due to size/battery/motors? Or have they released an estimated weight already that I just haven't seen?

And it's insane that vehicles are, by far, more expensive than they've ever been, to just be disposable appliances.

Chevrolet News:Chevy Estimated Range for Silverado EV Work Truck Raised to 450 miles
While that does sound like a ton of different trims/models, my best guess would be 1-4 of both WT and LT would be solely based on battery and drive wheels. small battery - 2WD - 1WT/LT big battery - 2WD - 2WT/LT small battery - 4WD - 3WT/LT big battery - 4WD - 4WT/LT I could also be 100% wrong and it wouldn't be the first time!

You also know that most truck buyers are scared of EVs, right? I know it's a useless sample size but I don't know anybody who would drive a truck that also would consider an EV at this point. I know buyers are out there but 500,000 from ONE of 4 companies all selling electric trucks is a little nuts.

This picture is awesome and you can see Busch Stadium 3 (where my beloved Cardinals play) under construction in the upper left. By the looks of nothing being built up yet, this was taken in 2004, the year the Cardinals lost to the Red Sox in the World Series and I was only a freshman in high school. Ohhhh how time flies!

You'd think somebody from the Steel City would understand work trucks utilize tool boxes as well. One thing that's impossible with a Cybertruck. There is no way Tesla sells 500,000 Cybertrucks in the US. Maybe globally, but there is zero chance they move that many here when the D3 all have electric trucks and ICE trucks.

Cadillac Confirms Escalade IQ
I agree with dropping the IQ in a few years when it's the only Escalade on sale. I don't think EV9 or iD9 are as bad as "EQS Sedan" or EQS SUV", let alone the actual vehicle names like "EQS 580 4Matic Sedan" That's a mouthful of unnecessary-ness.

Cadillac Confirms Escalade IQ
C'mon GM. This "IQ" thing is already atrocious and adding it to Escalade is even worse. They couldn't have gone a much worse route when ditching the alphanumeric stuff. I couldn't agree more!

Toyota News: All New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Yearns For Adventure
This does LOOK fantastic, especially in TRD Pro guise. It doesn't move the needle in any trucky way outside of its hybrid powertrain. That is quite interesting and I'm really curious what kind of combined rating it'll get.

That's some impressive range! This has to have Ford scrambling.

Pretty silly comparison.. When is it ever a surprise a vehicle half the price of another outsells it? The one Tesla that would be surprising the ID.4 could outsell would be the Model Y and I bet it's not even in the same ballpark as the Model Y in sales.
