Trivia Tuesday: January 6, 2015

That would be a great commercial comparison that would be nice to see. I did find this one video review where they compare Rivian, Chevrolet and Ford electric vans from their websites.  

Great for Walmart and BrightDrop/GM.  I'd really like to see/read a review on an in-depth comparison of this versus the Rivian/Amazon delivery van. 

Those new Sierra EVs seem like one heck of a vehicle overall.  The price (obviously) and the app situation are really the only two downsides I see in that truck.  Well, bye bye freedoms! I'll see them on the other side! Hopefully they only make one trip to my house for my freedoms and guns. No point in making two trips. 

Unfortunately, that is how democracy fails.  When you dont want to worry about…well…about your rights.  It takes EVERYBODY in the village to protect democracy. I understand where you stand. But that kind of attitude and you will be kissing your freedoms away. This is what happens when too many dont worry about it and one nefarious individual with minions attempts to steal several rights away.     

I"m getting the Avalanche inspected today at the dealer where @HoLottaBuicks works and he let me test drive the Denali EV on a short jaunt. I came away very impressed... as I should since the sticker is $102k.  But beyond all the stats we know of about the EV drivetrain, the interior was very nicely made with nice materials and finishes. The exception being parts of the door panels felt a bit plasticy.   It rides like a luxury sedan, though I didn't put it into sport mode or anything to see if the suspension firms up.  I would need more time to explore the screens. It's a bit hard to navigate the main screen because a lot of the icons are the same color, so you have to actually read what the app does.   The back seat is much roomier than my truck.  I still object to having to buy a separate data plan just to use the apps I already use on my phone.  Overall it is a great truck, but $102k is a bit steep.
