Torque is not an issue in semi’s, as diesels have boatloads. Range at 300 miles is far short, but I see it was coupled with an absurdly high total weight (many/most states limit semi’s to 80K... so that range number may edge upwards. But to sell to hardcore diesel loyalists, you need to talk to them on their own terms, not at a weight tier 3x what they run. Of course, and as usual; MSRP is ignored/unspecified. Owner operators face towering purchase costs with TDs; you can’t compete until you compete on the bottom line.

Seems I’ve lived in NJ my whole life, highest population density in the US, relatively low percentage of EVs vs other states. Air quality is very good - excellent, and I am ‘protected’.

Ugh- no. Why did Ford do it this way...

Liking the Bronco a bit less the more I see of it. Not sure why Ford gave it such a FWD-esque, protruding snout, but it's huge.

^ The homogenization of auto styling on full display. I was behind a small SUV the other night- couldn't ID it and the name across the back I couldn't initially make out. ESCAPE.- Random Thoughts Thread

'toyoter' & 'impressed' in the same sentence ?!? Only instance I can imagine that being uttered is 'toyoter went 7 days straight without a recall.'- Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Now I see this, moving under it's own power. Is the 1000HP set-up the part that's not "actually" there yet? : Can someone explain how a 14-yr old insufferable noob even has access to a C8 Corvette, nevermind the stones to put down $100 deposit / talk like he's actually going to buy a Hummer???- Random Thoughts Thread
Kinda like the steel / iron thing. One is a component of the other, but folk mix the terms up all the time.- Random Thoughts Thread

Finished railings... except at house. Replacing double window with slider door. Except for concrete; the entire deck’s materials were transported in my 2500 HD.- Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
I think that interior came out with the '77 generation- looks like what I remember my grandfather's '78 Sedan deVille was like. But the hood looks to be the flatter profile of '80 and up.- Random Thoughts Thread

Bel Air is a '54. Looks like they got it dropped in front for some attitude. I don't care for that Ram nose- too much unpainted plastic. But in general I agree that the Ram overall is very nicely designed.- Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Edition 1 supposedly was 1000 units.- Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Green Car Reports has... reported that General Motors has admitted they don't have an actual, working Hummer EV. Apparently the release video was largely CGI.- Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM

OK- I thought so: you’re micro-focusing. ‘cause it read like ‘batteries weren’t rechargeable 100 years ago’.- Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Can you clarify this statement further?- Random Thoughts Thread

I was led to believe this was impossible (have seen it frequently tho relative to the rarity of Teslas). No visible accident damage. Not sure what the tailgate sentiment meant :- Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
OEMs aren’t in business to build things you think are cool from afar, tho. I don’t believe ‘infrastructure’ as you use it here (fueling) has anything to do with MSRP. Plus, the country’s been electrified for 100 years now. - OCTOBER ve-hickle spotter
