One word. Raptor.

Ford offers more trims (with different grills, bumper covers, and other sheet metal nuances) than GM so there is are just as many variations for Ford to build than for GM to make the two different brands they supply. This one is better than two or two is better than one argument is just asinine knowing those simple facts.

Maybe GM should have been smarter, like Ford, and just shut down production for a week or two and let employees get paid for doing nothing during that time as opposed to offering the actual customers a nice enticement to buy one of their trucks. Thats sarcasm btw.

While the 911 is undoubtedly the better overall car, it should be for $40K more. Imagine what an additional $40K would do for the Vette. Of course, given the mid engine rumors, you might not have to imagine for much longer.

Happens to all cars even Mercedes. GLA-down 6% for the year and is much newer than the Lamdas GLE-down 19.9% for September 2016 versus Sept 2015 Its a good thing the other CUVs did okay for them since ALL sedans of theirs are down outside of the E Class (which gets the benefit of combining with CLS sales). And no they do not need more than three of they so please. When you have sisters companies under the GM umbrella covering the rest, the need for more is just overstated. They may end up with a fourth but they really are not in dire straights with this, as you are implying. And again, all of those you mentioned have replacements in year or less. Good grief.

Nevermind. Enough lies have been exposed here. I made my point and I stand by it.

Funny how you don't count the time it took for you to drive to the service and back X 5 cars. I have three in my driveway, can get necessary supplies in one trip for all three and take care of them as needed. Now, do you understand the flaw in your argument now or do you want to act like you wouldn't be singing a completely different tune if Ford were offering something like the Bolt? I've heard a lot of excuses from you as to why you think EVs are this and that and all things negative (while ignoring or sidestepping the many more positives of EV ownership). The impression you are giving here is that your car buying, driving, and maintenance choices make you smarter than everyone else's while only being different and in many ways not smarter. We get it. You think EVs are inferior to whatever you choose to do everyday where cars are concerned. You just happen to be the only one on this thread, thus far, that believes as you do. I'll just leave it at that.

Sorry but I save money every time I change my own oil (and I do) and having an EV would be a huge plus towards me not having to worry about it ever again. No changing the oil or taking time out of my day to have someone else do it (because time is money and more important to me).
-
And even mentioning little things like a cord being left out is beyond reaching. Gosh! What if I forget to hang the fuel pump hose?
-
No they sure don't because you made this about yourself from the get go. I stand by my statement. The topic is still being discussed btw but you must be running out of ammunition to make a comment like that. One last thing. You tried to make it about me the other day with your "you're wrong and I think just afraid to admit it" post but let's just ignore that little double standard and get back to the topic. The Bolt is a great first step for GM in the true EV realm and hopefully it can gain some traction in the market.

Makes a post about eighty people dying mining for that EV power (to prove whatever point he is trying to make) yet says others are talking in extremes. He then says he will not blow smoke up any automakers rear like others do. Hmmmmm I see some things never change. Volumes? Let's see. Ten thousand batteries for cars a month versus the millions of batteries made for phones sold a month. That's a hard one figure out there (obvious sarcasm).
-
It's like he conventionally forgets the wars started for oil and the number of people killed for it. Simply baffling the cherry picking going on here. You are also right on the money where brand is concerned. This is all about who is releasing said car because if it had a blue oval on it, the story would be completely different.
-
So you agree that you were spreading FUD about rates and volatility vs gas and that the only problem is the upfront cost of an EV. Thanks for confirming that because the evidence was becoming pretty damning against you. This and then some!
-
Actually I don't have to admit anything because there's nothing to admit. I'm right because that was what I pointed out to you the other day. Fact. For on peak hours, the rate goes up but does not fluctuate. The same goes for off peak which reiterates my earlier point. It is much easier to control your electrical usage than it is for gas. Let me put it another way. Plain and simple for you, I can charge up a Bolt cheaper than I can put 250 miles worth of gas in my car, even during peak hours. Here's the other scenario that you continually ignore because you are hyper focused on a singular point. Let me lay it out for you. When a pipeline bursts in Texas, prices immediately go up in NC. If the entire state of Texas loses electricity, it does not make the electrical rates go up in NC (or even Texas for that matter). Electrical rates are far more regulated in most states and are less volitale to environmental factors than gas and that is a simple fact passed on to me by a father with over forty years in the power industry (Duke Energy). Knowing all this, it is not debatable which is cheaper to run. It is you that needs to admit that you are making the wrong argument because of your failure to see ALL the points to this.
-
Yeah. What do I know. I've just been reading electric bills for years and know exactly how and what I'm being charged by three different power companies in two states. In other words, you are wrong.

Stop with the dramatics because you know exactly what I was talking about and me bringing it up is simply an acknowledgment, not a double standard as you are implying here. I only pointed out what you used as an example of "over priced" and if you know they are all overpriced, why bring up the example of one car not once but twice. Good grief. And negative vote all you want because you made a false assumption about my post. That's the perfectly mature thing to do when you are wrong This is why i hat I stopped talking to some of the children around here.

They don't swing more often for reasons already stated but see it however you want to see it. Doesn't bother me one bit.
