    I feel like I heard your first sentence somewhere else.... Hahaha I think it's all of the addicts. That seems to be the beverage of choice for those people who think they're drinking "healthy" but are always out of shape and overweight. I'm sure you know a person or two who's only drink they'll consume is Diet Coke. It's such a terrible beverage, too.

    Yeah, and as you kind of circled back in your own comment, 600 miles of range just isn't needed. People aren't driving that far without a bathroom, food, or stretching their legs break anyway. 600 miles at 70mph is 8.5 hours of straight driving. Just make the batteries smaller and lighter(therefore more efficient) and 400 miles is plenty for 99% of the population 99% of the time. When that 400 miles is recouped in under 10 minutes, everybody will be happy. It's just wasteful to make a 600 mile range battery for a vehicle.

    I know there aren't any details on the range or capacity of the other battery packs, but this REALLY intrigues me. I'm sure the standard range would be less than I'd like, but 440mi seems excessive so the middle battery would likely be perfect.

    Even people who like to road trip spend the majority of their time not road tripping. There's really no point in a 600 mile range EV unless batteries become SOOOOOO much lighter where 100kw batteries only weights a few more pounds than a 75kw battery and there's really no "extra weight" to be carried around, wasting efficiency.

    Yeah, the class just isn't what it used to be. I used to LOVE a giant sedan. While they do all still have that large car presence on the road, I just can't get over the overly touchscreen and electronic interiors. They just don't so what they used to for me. There's an A8L in our parking garage that is still pretty awesome. It isn't brand new, probably the previous gen..?maybe..? I think I just liked all of them more in their previous generations. This was my first thought on the topic, as well. I know I don't know about our infrastructure like you do, but I know 1000kWh charging isn't something that'll be done here anytime soon anyway. It's awesome that it has the ability to do that, but there won't be anywhere that this can take place anyway so it's kind of a moot point.

    Thank you, much appreciated. Apparently, because I don't agree with somebody, I'm now a bully. I don't think he understands what the word "bully" means. If he does, he may not remember his own actions of "downvoting" others to get under their skin. …that sounds like the actions of a bully more so than disagreeing with an opinion...
  7. ccap41
    If you're referring to me. Just say so.

    I love me a long wheelbase large sedan. They just have a really cool presence when walking around them. I disagree with it being lazy. There are a lot of people who actually want an all black interior. I'm not one of them, but I know people who do. I'd agree if it was the ONLY choice available, but as long as there are multiple choices, making an all black one doesn't come off as lazy to me. This is a specific Black Edition, so it also seems to make sense here.

    Talking, in general, about politics is not taboo. Talking politics where politics are not wanting to be talked about, is taboo. Nobody is going to specific group pages (Corvette, Mustang, Dallas Cowboys, Montreal Canadians, Dale Earnhardt Jr) groups and wanting to talk politics. Go to political pages that are dedicated to talking that stuff. There are sooooo many pages/sites available if you want to talk politics. Talk politics with people who want to talk politics. That seems fair, right? Personally, I don't want to be talking about the new Silverado EV's multiple trims and battery sizes and have somebody cram some political garbage into the comment section.
  10. ccap41
    Yeah, there really just isn't a need for that kind of infrastructure somewhere where the vehicle is going to be parked for 20 minutes minimum regardless. Next to a highway where people aren't trying to waste any time? Perfect.

    I'm not finding the same information you're telling me. Model Y starts "around" 46k. GV60 does start at $52,350. If you're talking only about the Launch Series, which we all know there will be more trims available once the old inventory is moved, that starts at 60k, that's quite misleading. We all know it will be priced similarly to the previous gen Model Y. It'll likely be priced a little higher, everything seems to do that, but it won't be 15k more than the previous gen Model Y. Realistically, a Model Y will still be cheaper than an RX350 or X3 that start at 50k.

    Do we know what percentage of other EV brand buyers are using them? I mean, if 20% of each brand are using them, that's a lot of vehicles using them. Also, is this 20% a percentage of every Ford owner? Like, 60% only charge from home. 40% use public charging regularly. Does that mean that 50% of people who use public chargers regularly are using Tesla Superchargers? See how numbers can be manipulated or made confusing... Doesn't Tesla charge more per Kw than most of the other big brands? Or am I wrong there?
  13. ccap41
    And yet, nobody is mistaking it for a luxury automobile.
  14. ccap41
    How often are you not charging at home that you need to charge publicly? I'd think that thing has more than enough range to only need to charge at home. It's still a good thing though. That 20% aren't clogging your other charging stations and, I would think, it would keep everybody happier with more chargers available.
  15. ccap41
    So is an Ionic5 and EV6, but nobody is mistaking those for luxury. Technically, an Ionic5 is a couple hundred dollars more than a Model 3.
  16. ccap41
    Well yeah, that's Tesla. I thought it was well-known Tesla isn't exactly a luxury car maker. I was more speaking of Mercs, BMWs, Audis, and Genesis.
  17. ccap41
    The first point was a little confusing because I didn't notice any prior comparison to the bZ4x. There was no mention of the bZ4x.
  18. ccap41
    20% increase over what? That's a debatable selling point. I'm pretty sure all of their new turbo engines have had some major issues. I have my doubts its much, if any, quieter than any other luxury EV. Why is this worded like this? Wouldn't it just be 221HP / 198lb-ft of torque?

    This comment instantly made me think of the Toyota Crown and how weird/interesting it is. I've walked around a couple of them and they're so quirky-shaped/sized. It really is a car that's lifted about an inch. Have you gotten to dive one? Are they worth a damn?
  20. ccap41
    Yeah, I guess if the hood is the smaller of the sizes and you add in the space behind the seats, you'll have 5' worth of space there.
  21. ccap41
    There is no way that's a 5ft bed AND it's the size of a Mini Cooper. Those dimension numbers and pictures just aren't making sense to me. It's either the size of a Mini or it's a small truck. if it really is the size of a Mini AND has a 5ft bed, that cabin has to be incredibly cramped for 2-rows. The hood of a Mini isn't 5ft, right? I know there doesn't need to be a hood for an engine but having exposed wheels seems a little awkward. the idea of thig thing seems really cool, but I'd never consider something like this.

    I was looking at color options for the Sierra EV yesterday and I came across their dark red/maroon color and it looks freakin awesome.
  23. ccap41
    As awesome of an overall package the Silverado EV is, I just can't get on board with the aesthetics. It just does nothing for me. I love what it is and the performance it achieves, both in sportiness and efficiency, but it looks so... sucky... It's all in the front end for me. The Sierra looks quite a bit better though, to me, so there is that.
  24. ccap41
    I understand that but take a tape measure and pull it out 58", there is no way your shoulders are 58" across. You're probably thinking of your overarm measurement, which is a circumference measurement around your shoulders, not a left to right measurement. Which, at 58 inches, at least that's a real size. It could also be your chest size, but that's also a circumference measurement. Either way, you are not 5 feet wide. Just think about how wide that is for a second and it'll make more sense. Just for some perspective, if you and a twin sat next to each other in a vehicle, the vehicle would need to be TEN feet wide. Your EV9 is 78 inches across on the outside, and 62 inches of shoulder room in the front seats. I'm sure your wife has more than 4 inches of space with you in the driver's seat.

    Your shoulders are not 58" wide. you're trying to say you're nearly FIVE FEET WIDE?!? There is no way you're that wide based simply off of the numbers, but also because of the picture you posted, you're nowhere close to 5 feet wide. If I had to put a guess to it, ~16" per shoulder and maybe 8" for your neck and that's still "only" 40 inches, which still seems like a little bit of a stretch.
