Sad to see it sitting there with stuff just thrown on it.

Physics

Valid concerns, I think that is where the Range Extender package comes in as it is like a tool box, but has a built in generator and the option of 5, 10 or 15 gallon tank for running the generator. I would expect in a Full EV that if they are going to use it at a work site, then it would make sense to buy the Range Extender that can boost your own drive distance but also support the electrical outlets. Considering that Ford, GM, Rivian have all stated that the trucks would come with 100 kWh battery pack or bigger up to as big as 250 kWh battery packs that that would help in allowing power usage for the outlets as well.

Ford has a Range Extender for the F-150 EV Pickup. https://electrek.co/2020/10/03/ford-electric-pickup-range-extender-design-f150/ Press sure is going positive overboard on the up coming F-150 hybrid. Makes me wonder what are the negatives when you read such positive overloads on a new truck. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2021-ford-f150-powerboost-hybrid-torquiest-ever/

New York is joining the cities that are looking to ban new ICE auto's starting in 2035. https://electrek.co/2020/10/05/new-york-bill-ban-new-ice-cars-2035/ New World record set in quarter mile by an EV Bike @ 195 plus mph and under 7 seconds.

Golf Size VW ID.3 EV first reviews. Pretty Positive. Seems Mercedes-Benz is needing attention in the news and so they have revealed more of their EV line up via You Tube. Welcome to the 21st century auto show, reveals on You Tube. First looks with Camo on of the EQS, EQE and EQS SUV.

Observe

Exxon leaked documents show they plan to increase green house gas emissions with a 17% increase by 2025 alone. Guess they believe living in the past on a polluted planet is better than a healthy future on a green planet. https://electrek.co/2020/10/05/egeb-exxon-emissions-octopus-energy-jobs/

Honda has surprised announcement that they will end F1 racing in 2021 so that they can focus on EV's and Hybrids for the global market. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129827_honda-quits-formula-1-racing-to-focus-on-evs-and-fuel-cell-tech

Kick'in

Good point, but I suspect just like the 70's with the stupid speed set option on my Grandmothers Buick Skylark that would make noise if you went over the set speed limit or the buzzer of the unconnected seatbelt, I bet someone will figure out how to disable the fake mandated sound track. Not a fan of all the useless phone apps.

If I wanted ICE Noise, I would buy ICE. This Douche Bag as is appropriate needs to go back to the ICE world and stop attempting to screw with the Silent EV products.

Questions: Almost 3yrs ago my sister test drove this and the Buick Envision. The interior was hard plastic cheapness and no matter what packages you added, you still had a cheap hard plastic interior. Does this interior have any soft touch updated areas that say luxury or is it still cheap hard plastic front, middle and back? Head room was also an issue for tall people. How is that headroom in this? Wind / Road noise was terrible in past versions, how is it now? Are there any special touches in the middle and rear seating area that make it special?

Congratulations, Awesome choice for you on the Camaro.

Interesting 1yr review of a Tesla Police car versus the Dodge Charger. Appears to be a large saving that pays for itself. https://insideevs.com/news/446583/tesla-model-3-police-savings-1-year/

OUCH, I hate it when slow folks just pull over into the fast lane, no turn signal. Lucky that the guy driving along at 149 mph kept control. Cool view of the generation run of the SkyLine auto. https://www.motor1.com/news/446562/nissan-skyline-13-generations-evolution/

For the 2022 model year seems a new updated 2.0 L Turbo 4 banger will come back to the Equinox and Terrain. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/02/chavy-equinox-2-liter-turbo-engine-returning/ Seems Ford CEO sees that Ford is missing a segment and is going to address something that many here have talked about. Low price affordable auto's. https://www.motor1.com/news/446865/ford-new-ceo-more-affordable-vehicles/

It now seems based on reports coming out from unidentified sources that GM is looking to take an even bigger stake in Nikola and the building of the Nikola Badger Pickup Truck. It would seem that GM is looking for a way to recover costs from the R&D done on Hydrogen generators, storage and an EV platform that is what Nikola was planning for the Badger. Will be very interesting to see what comes of this as I can see value to be had in building a long range EV pickup using a Hydrogen generator. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-general-motors-nikola/gm-continuing-discussions-with-nikola-on-alliance-deal-idUSKBN26K2MF https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/gm-considers-boosting-stake-in-nikola-in-reworked-deal/ar-BB19CSv0?ocid=uxbndlbing https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/gm-considers-boosting-stake-nikola-reworked-deal-report-says New Tesla Crate motor for your V8 powered auto.

Replaced the Charger with a New Charger?

Seems the GM deal is now in Limbo, so the reveal event was scrapped till further notice. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129807_nikola-badger-electric-pickup-debut-event-canceled-as-gm-deal-hangs https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/nikola-badger-electric-pickup-debut/
