Buying a near-$1000 generator to do outdoorsy things for an EV owner is pretty damn silly, if you ask me. Also, lugging a 200lb generator not only takes up a very significant amount or space, a 5 gallon gas jug does, too. There is no chance I would even consider an EV if this scenario was the way to get to/from my destination(s). This is possibly the worst solution to an issue that could very easily just be avoided at the dealership.

I seem to see a few of them every day. Not a lot, but a few. I'd like to test drive one and feel-out the size of them. I think they're a little too small for two kids in huge-@ss child seats, but I wouldn't mind driving one every day.

If higher voltage systems are more efficient AND last longer, then I am 100% on board with that and agree with your previous statement. Thank you for the information. I believe when I bought my Navigator my credit rating was 804. I'm not sure where it is now though. I'd assume in that ballpark. I think this is suck a colossal mistake on their part. Everybody loves mirroring their phones and can jump in any car and instantly know how that system will work with AA/CP. I have a feeling they will reverse this eventually.

Meh, charging speeds is overrated. 400V is more than enough for everybody who is smart enough to own an EV and charge at home every night. Personally, I'd rather the companies work to make them even more efficient than charge that much faster.

FWIW, the Lightning is kind of on the same slowly increasing sales trend:

I'm sure there is a backlog but they also just had their best quarter (Q3 2025) of sales since it went on sale in 2020: 20,177 units. They've been slooowly selling more and more each year.

It's funny, because I've seen the same burning/melting from modified McLarens, Ferraris, Lambos, and Audis. It's a pretty simple concept, when you're making a lot more power than the factory designed them for. More power = more heat. How have we never seen a picture of your daughters Z06?!? In all fairness, they added to the lineup before getting rid of something. The Bronco Sport was added and now they're canceling the Escape. So they haven't lost anything in the compact CUV space. FWIW, I think it's a mistake to cancel something that moves that many units a year without actually announcing its replacement. The Mach-e and Lightning are doing well, aren't they?

It's freakin INSANE how we can agree about automotive things on an automotive website. Who would have thought when politics aren't involved, things are civil?!? It's. Just. Crazy.

Ohhhh miscommunication then. I thought that sentence was still about the Vette's run in Texas. i gotcha now.

Do you want the car to weigh more or less? Light weight aircraft aluminum is light, but not as light as plastic, plus it will cost significantly more. Body panels aren't structural and there's no point in using that, IMO. I'm sure there was plenty of testing, but none with 100k in aftermarket modifications, including ripping out the entire OEM exhaust system.

I don't think anybody considers Texas the Midwest though, hahaha.

You can't put this on GM when an owner modifies the vehicle. " “I changed every single thing on the car I could to prepare for this race." The ZR1 now makes about 30 percent more horsepower than stock, he says, thanks to a larger throttle body, ported heads, upgraded rockers, lifters, supercharger, and other alterations. As to why the tail end wound up so roasted and toasted, well, it turns out there is no real exhaust system per se on the car; it has Kooks headers and AWE straight pipes, but no muffler."

I'm glad you know how to use the GoogleMachine to find pictures that suit your feelings.

I thiiiiiiiink somebody may be obsessed with me...

TLDR

That’s the Canadian helpline, chief. That’s not the 51st state, yet.

Yes, I’ve had firearms.

Wishing me death? I don't see shyte everywhere everyday. So, no, I cannot see it. What is it I'm hating?

I just love how pessimistic everybody here is now... Speaking of hate-filled men, there are people on this forum wishing death upon people who don't share the same opinions as them.

I’m sure most is garbage but I’m sure Michelin, Continental, and Maxxis all make a tire in that size. I bought Continentals for my mountain bike a couple years ago and freakin love them. Some are made in China and some are made in Germany.

🇺🇸: 1 🇨🇦: 0 Go Blues!

I hope Canada does get all of the sh!tty POS Chinese-built EVs and in 3 years everybody realizes that they’re sh!tty Chinese-built.
