Yes, a performance electric SUV would fit the Corvette family nicely!

WOW, Momma Dropped the baby on his face and this is what happened. ? WOW, Septuplets, talk about a hard time figuring out which one your wife is.

WOW, Never seen this ugly POS till you posted it. Thank you for showing where RR got their hideous inspiration. WOW, Cannot believe some actually think this looks good. Guess money has no way of dictating taste.

Yup that is for sure the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. One of the Ugliest SUVs to have ever been made and way over rated for the money. Rolls-Royce Cullinan - Wikipedia

Rare sunny cold day between winter storms. Taking a break from work to get my Leland Cyprus trees trimmed with my EGO hedger and extention pole. Love not having to use a ladder.

Reminds me of Harry Potter

@A Horse With No Name I started to follow this guy. Wife and I want to have him build us a custom square table for the kitchen that will have 3 chairs per side, total of 12 chairs. His work is amazing. Handcrafted Custom Woodwork | NW Custom Woodwork https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oo_0tBRn6/

Totally agree with you that the 2021 Escalade front end is a FAILURE!

The Jackson mart was still open for business with power. The pumps are down. This is a valid comparison as I have seen other gas stations that due to unknown reasons had no pumps working too and not weather related. Here be it gas or ev stations, they seem to be updated on apps that show what is functional and the few times I have seen state run chargers that did not work, they were clearly noted both physically on the charging port and in apps. Maybe just a difference between the west coast which is far ahead of the rest of the nation and Washington state that mandates having this info current on apps for users.

Hooked on this Singer Dami Im from Australia. Signed by Sony after winning the singing competition in her country. Here is how Dami Im started, a 24 year old piano teacher that auditioned on the X Factor.

Good Luck

Easy today, the winter storm fried all the pumps at the Shell Station in my Neighborhood. All 12 pumps dead till further notice according to the sign. Yet when I ran to get the grocery shopping done for my senior parents at Fred Meyers which was out of power this morning also, the Tesla Super Charger station was fully functional this afternoon. Dead Gas station Working EV Station. Goes both ways I know. Still a factor as the pre-orders all came with 3yr free charging, which 3 years has not come up yet, so lots of peeps still using the free charging. Yes as of today, Tesla has no free charging on any model they sell. Yet as sales dip, Tesla seems to throw this out as an incentive. Research shows the cheapest charging is home charging even with the cost of a 220V charger.

Keep in mind that the preorders of Tesla 3 all included free charging. As such, while the auto's all come with a 110V wall plug charging cord, I would have to think that they are hung up on free power over convenience of charging over night and having a full battery in the morning. I also do know that some of my coworkers figure that since they can do email and slack or teams chat with coworkers via their phone, might as well use the Super Chargers to cover getting a battery pack charged while they also work via their smartphone. But as @surreal1272 pointed out, way too small a pool of people to make an observation on without asking pointed questions. @ccap41 Totally agree with you that while the chargers might have a stated rate, the installation might have not been in support of that rate and does need to be rectified. Also broken or out of order charging points need to be fixed ASAP. Gassed up the SS at Costco and saw that they had 1 diesel and 3 regular / Premium pumps out of order. I asked the attendant and he said 2 had electrical issues with the interface, 3rd one was broken as the person filled up, then got in and drove away breaking the quick connect and still took the hose with them never realizing they never pulled the fuel hose. Diesel was broken as it would not pump so mechanical inside.

We had a major wind and rain storm over night. Winds clocked at gusts up to 121 MPH at Snoqualmie pass. I90 freeway. At Deception Pass that goes over the water to the island of Oak Harbor, a USPS truck was blown over onto the railing and they had to wait a few hours as crews cleared downed trees before they could right the truck. No damage or USPS mail lost, but during the constant 60 to 65 mph windows, the truck looked like it could blow over even though the bridge had upright beams that would keep it from going.

Beautiful woman with a very lovely voice, thanks for posting!

@balthazar @ccap41 I think depending on where one lives, getting a constant high speed electric stream into the battery pack can be a challenge especially for states that have poor electrical grids compared to other states where they have the flow. Yet with that said, while it does affect how fast one recharges on a road trip, most people I believe will charge up at home always having a full battery pack in the morning to start. We are also in the early stages and while some standards have been set, I think there is still plenty of room to grow the quality and reliability of the stream of power to hit the designated rate of recharge. It might mean that they need a battery pack to hold the power to help with quick recharging. In regards to the cost of fueling an electric car, always been some people who come up with these crazy formula's and state it is 2 to 3 times more expensive. Real world has proven this to not be true. I question that persons use of Tesla as an example due to how many people get free charging or prepay at a very competitive rate to home charging. Again real world charging across the west coast does not bare out that crazy almost $9 per gallon equivalent cost. West coast has a maximum charge allowed on public charging stations so that example is very invalid even Tesla has stated that using the public listed prices is unusual for most tesla owners. Even the story link says that this is the exception rather than the norm where most people charge at home at ultra cheap rates.
