Yes, EV only, but where is Mercedes? Porsche and Audi at least have been challenging Tesla, but sad that BMW and Mercedes have not.

Tesla seems to be playing their normal must generate excitement now that I have confirmed we are not going to deliver for a couple years the Cyber Truck, So I guess we will leak a inside video of the Texas GigaFactory.

Tesla finds loophole to New Mexico's dumb ban by launching on tribal land - Electrek This is Tesla's biggest problem: QUOTE I don’t want one at all. Partly because I feel certain that the weird gear selection situation and gimmicky yoke steering wheel would infuriate me on a daily basis, but mostly because, parked next to the Audi or the Porsche, the Model S would look and feel distinctly cheap both inside and out. Which is not what you want when you spend an imaginary £140k on a posh car. Gotta say that the guy is not wrong or write, but as a personal choice, he does nail the important parts that Tesla is still missing.

That is what the news is saying that in sales of current generation full size trucks, Chevrolet is tired have being 3rd after Ram who has been 3rd for a long time passed them. I would think Chevrolet would want to seriously challenge and work to pass the first place leader Ford. But then what do I know, I like to work hard and win, so 2nd and third place is just not my cup of tea.

Seems Chevrolet is tired of 3rd place in the full size truck game and a major update in refinement, quality and packages such as a ZR2 extreme off road package is coming on the 2022 Chevrolet Truck to compete against the Raptor and TRX. GM's pickup money machine gets a technology tuneup | Reuters

No matter how anyone feels about Tesla, Mercedes, Porsche, Chevrolet, everyone has to respect numbers and currently Tesla is putting the Germans on notice that they just took the crown.

Yes all our favorites growing up are much older now.

Yes, the Oracle was written to ensure balance against the Architect. As such, I could see the Machines seeing a need for Trinity and Neo to balance against the Agents.

I totally get the point your making, I also was pissed on the PALPATINE and Rey issues, but then like you went with the ride to enjoy it and have it in my movie collection. Having a minor in film analysis, I am just interested to see if the Machines created Neo and Trinity as Software code, cloned for a new body or what????? I am also very excited for the reboot of DUNE!

Latest overload of Sexy K-Pop Music Videos to blast through for roughly 14 minutes.

Red Hot Chili Peppers as I work today.

Yes, it was a truce between the machines and the humans. Trinity was dead and Neo was presumed dead as he gave everything to stop Agent Smith. As such, I am interested in how Trinity and Neo are alive. I see on the web site many of the other actors are back as well as new faces, thinking they did not invite Lawrence Fishbourne back as he was wanting the same money made as Keanu Reeves.

Just not Tesla or Mercedes needs to be aware of what the competition is doing, this latest video showing the 2022 Black Label improvements shows Lincoln is out to be a luxury leader and right now, WOW, I like what I am seeing.

Seems Mercedes has revealed their Electric version of the G Wagon. EQG in the blah naming convention of what MB has become has released the electric off road machine.

Interesting, Edmunds while very impressed with the Tesla S Plaid, does clearly say it is a waste of money unless your a Rabid Tesla fan and badge snob that has to have the top of the line to brag about it. The Value is the Tesla S Long Range version.

WOW, This is ONE UGLY CUV from Mercedes. The EQB will have 260 miles of battery per Europe test cycle so about 232 for the US maybe. Multiple sites say you take the European WLTP and divide their range number by 1.12 to equal EPA range. Mercedes EQB electric SUV: Specs and features confirmed for 2022 US arrival (greencarreports.com) The EQB will be offered in the U.S. in EQB 300 4Matic and EQB 350 4Matic versions—both in a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive layout. EQB 300 models will deliver 225 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque, while EQB 350 versions will be quicker due to their higher ratings of 288 hp and 384 lb-ft. Interior is nice, but the exterior is just so dated already.

@oldshurst442 I actually wish Cadillac would offer a Black chrome package on all their auto's for those of us that do not want or like the regular chrome. To me this still says Luxury along with Darth Vader your ride has arrived! Course they do have their midnight edition option but only available in Black and I honestly think Black Chrome can go on other colors too. I do like the Dark Emerald Frost on the CT5-V Blackwing edition. I love the Evergreen Metallic on the CT5-V edition. Weird that they do not allow you to choose black rims to compliment the CT5-V when you build it. I really wish they had the Evergreen Metallic on the Escalade. Current color pallet sucks. I am very interested to see what colors they offer for the Lyriq premier when it shows and allows you to build one in 9 days.

What they do have to sell are selling at MSRP or above it now and used it not far off from new prices. Crazy right now on auto's.

I had to laugh as I just recently, last weekend drove across the 520 for once and through the new tunnel under Seattle. Fast, better than the old way, but still crazy expensive. LOL It is very weird to think about how long both have been operational and still people have not used them.

Thank you for posting this. I totally agree that RJ has Rivian dialed in to compete and Tesla has lost a HUGE HUGE HUGE chance to dominate in electric trucks. Musk's various distractions will hurt him long term I believe. I am very excited as the Rivian experience store is just about done in Bellevue and I am excited to actually go there and see how I fit in an R1T.
