If that's not scary stuff, I don't know what is. YIKES

Gee thanks, what was that for exactly... no wait, nevermind

It's time to look forward, to the days of SS Chevelles, GTOs, 4-4-2s and GSXs.

Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
ocnblu replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
Yes it does. The kid did an amazing job morphing GM's own dark silhouette teaser photo with the cladded spy shots. So the rendering is pretty darn spot-on, despite David proclaiming "fake news!" I've always defended the Bolt as the friendliest EV on the market, even though it is expensive and does not sell worth a crap. BUT... based on all these accounts, and if it does not offer AWD, the Bolt EUV will not expand on the original Bolt formula enough to warrant its existence. The hope that GM can hit a home run with their EV's in this Brave New World does not get brighter, I'm afraid. And I was going to get myself one, too. Dang it. -

So if we are to believe Motor Authority, the Bolt EUV will share a powertrain with the Bolt... a single motor up front... so it will not offer AWD. PITY. -

Both Bolts will go into production in summer 2021 as 2022 models. Based on the same platform as the Bolt EV (which was introduced in 2017), the EUV and Bolt EV will not have GM's latest, BEV3 platform that under-girds the Lyriq and Hummer. That platform features the 300-plus mile range Ultium battery.Aug 26, 2020 - DETROIT NEWS The Bolt EUV has been designed around GM's BEV2 dedicated EV platform that debuted in the Bolt EV, meaning the range should come close to matching the Bolt EV's 259 miles. The Bolt EV's single electric motor at the front will be common to the Bolt EUV. - November 10th, 2020 - Motor Authority -

Dude those are turn signals, not headlights. It will have low, single element headlights like the Trailblazer. -

That came from GM Authority (who got it from GM), but that is not where I read it before. I didn't feel like scouring the interwebs for the exact article, it was from somewhere like Motor Trend or Car & Driver, I forget now. I still do not see in the GM Media press release you linked any specific information stating the Bolt or EUV are moving to BEV3. Also, the Asian kid who rendered the EUV for his video looks pretty darn close to GM's own shadowy profile video, AND spy videos of the car in motion under cladding (showing its stance/relation to the road, it's still low and shaped like a square bubble). So far, the EUV looks like a slightly plump, minor update on the current Bolt, which is to say, a tall hatchback more so than what ppl consider a CUV, let alone an SUV. The interior preview photo from GM at least holds promise for those averse to white dash trim. -

LOL what a kneejerk reaction. It offers no issue to take sides on. This post supports Drew's oft-broken (even by him) rule prohibiting political talk in the forums.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. In making these statements we rely on assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative. The Cruise Origin, a self-driving, electric shared vehicle, shown to the public in January 2020 in San Francisco, was the first product revealed using GM’s third generation EV platform and Ultium batteries. Next will be the Cadillac Lyriq luxury SUV in April. Details about its launch will be shared then. The reveal of the Ultium-powered GMC HUMMER EV will follow on May 20. Production is expected to begin in Fall 2021 at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant, GM’s first assembly plant 100 percent dedicated to EV production. I don't see anything in this linked article specifically stating the Bolt or EUV are moving to the Ultium platform, but I did read an earlier article stating they are updates of the current Bolt platform. -

The Bolt and EUV are not on a new platform. They are updates of Bolt's current platform. -

olds, question: why are you averse to facts being presented? What is incorrect in the post of mine above? Explain your reasoning. You have 10 minutes for rebuttal. After that, if there is no rebuttal, you will take a time out. -

LOL since David is touting/linking Autoblog's article, here's Autoblog's photo of Mach-er-E's frunk. n00bs couldn't figure out how to take all the plastic BS out of it I guess... which begs the question: do they know how to arrange suitcases? -

Any advantage the Mock-er-E has over the Escape cannot be attributed to the fact it is an EV, only to the fact its space is shaped differently. -

I'll send you my address. Send me the money to install a home charging station. Better yet, let's pretend I don't own my own home, let's say I'm an apartment dweller. I rent an apartment in a complex. No wait, I rent from my aunt's neighbor, it's a one-bedroom over his garage. I park outside. Or any number of other perfectly normal, but varied, scenarios and living arrangements. -
