Latest Tear down of a brand new Tesla 3 shows that Tesla has 6 years on VW or Toyota in EV design / technology. https://electrek.co/2020/02/17/tesla-teardown-6-years-lead-over-toyota-vw/ An interesting read about supply chain and how Nikkie is saying that they auto companies worry about the parts suppliers. Right, GM already moved to an AI based high speed nervous system that does not have multiple ECU's, as such they are probably the most to be on par with Tesla. With Norway being so EV heavy, fuel station owners are converging to see how they are able to stay open and make a profit. https://electrek.co/2020/02/17/fuel-retail-chains-are-visiting-norway-to-ponder-a-future-when-gas-stations-dont-exist/

Is this like on regular comcast tv lines or over the air? I honestly do not watch local tv stations and only use stream services of commercial free content. As such, I do not see anything from Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick or GMC, yet I see the German and Asian auto companies on the web all the time. I am thinking GM is out of touch with the work force that embraces all things computers.

Yes, totally agree, we will not see tires like that in our life time. All those auto's would crush up against your B-59 Tank!

Gotta love interesting engineering videos of tech that we will probably never see. Hankook adjustable on the fly tires.

GM do you hear the Banshee, it has been screaming for the last 3yrs since you killed local production. There was nothing to allow you to revive Holden. It was a slow hemorrhaging death. R.I.P. Holden, you will be missed as you made amazing products!

This is where Cadillac needs to increase the Marketing as I saw tons of MB, BMW and Audi ads over xmas talking about the whole family. Yet I have yet to see any big marketing of Cadillac. Also, how about some realistic drive events for the masses, not just special by invitation only drive events. Cadillac is missing key marketing, ads, experience by having conquest drive events to see why they have superior auto's. So much can be done, so little is being done.

Living in a state that is all Green energy production and has an ugly black eye with the Tri-City Hanford Nuclear processing plant which has plenty of Nuclear waste, I get the waste issue is huge. We do have a way to nutralize it, but need more money to build bigger furnaces that changes the Nuclear Waste liquid into a solid glass that can then safely be buried under ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site https://www.britannica.com/topic/Hanford-Engineer-Works https://www.hanford.gov/ https://www.livescience.com/62623-radioactive-waste-trapped-in-glass.html https://www.hanfordvitplant.com/ Currently we have the Nations 56 million gallons of Nuclear waste sitting in above ground and under ground tanks that are starting to leak. As such, we do need to figure out a way to address the Nuclear waste before we move forward with building more Nuclear plants. Am I glowing yet?

Thank you for posting this. All three mentioned are nuts! I am all for reducing global warming, but Nuclear and Natural Gas has contributed big time to this by killing off Coal which is even worse. Wind, Solar and Hydro is Great, but cannot solve everyone's need for power and as such, Nuclear and Natural Gas are good alternatives till we perfect the efficiencies of Solar, Wind and Hydro. The real estate is an excellent area that has not been discussed as much as it should. We also have not really realized the power that can be harnessed by using solar collection in space and then focused beams of energy down to earth to be used by the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power https://www.energy.gov/articles/space-based-solar-power Some additional interesting food for thought.

Me Too, I love a lovely Pussy Cat, that is why I am married! ?

Cracking up over this ford.

Union BS is what has happened to people wanting to be paid to wait around and do nothing till the person responsible for picking up one item does their job first before the second one does there. The inefficient unions have gone from the early days of helping people to making them lazy as costs go crazy up assigning a job to one person and everyone waiting for them first. It is pathetic how lazy basic manual labor has become in the last 40 years due to corrupt labor unions. I can believe that, dogs love even when you yell at them. Cats, too independent and focused on licking themselves.

Ya know that type of stupid thinking is what has hurt the rest of Cadillac. A german idiot trying to make Cadillac like the germans. Will never happen and cannot come fast enough to dump the ICE German bullshit names and back to real American Names on the EVs.

Yes we have had plenty of Tahoe, Yukons, Escalades that have had dry engine knock and oil issues after being hard tested. Real world will always show what was missed in the QA process.

Yea, I do wonder what all is going on as Drew has been way too quiet.

Yes, my son when he bought his Samsung Qled 75" Q8 TV he also bought from Costco at the time the Bose Lifestyle speaker system. They install very easy and other than power, the wireless system works well so your able to put the bass anywhere. For his place, more than loud enough. Update, was wondering who else has come out with wireless speakers and I see lots of options now. Worth it to consider just having power where the speakers are and wireless connections for clean easy use. Will look into this more when I upgrade my home theater system. https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/best-wireless-speakers/

DOH, Valid point, should have stated that better. That is the problem with being bought by another speaker company, they kill off all the relationship speakers. So at the time Velodyne was sold by higher end audio stores here in Washington and Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers is what I bought with them. Velodyne and Martin Logan has a close long term relationship but I now see that it does not show up.

Various web sites say 5 miles on a full charge. Hybrid system is more for added Motivation than for running pure ev mode.

Better Scenery, great road trip!

I do not have Samsung Speakers, everything I have is Velodyne. Guess ya need help with English reading?

Robert ya got me thinking so took a look at the State of Washington which is a big truck market. Chevrolet Mega Ugly Trucks of the 1500, 2500, and 3500 has 389 of which 1500 makes up 302 new 2019's sitting on the lots. GMC, Superior looking Trucks of the 1500, 2500, and 3500 has 75 of which 1500 makes up 68 new 2019's sitting on the lots. Ford nice looking truck of the F150, F250, F350, and F450 has 2,408 of which F150 makes up 1,670 new 2019's sitting on the lots. Ram nice looking truck of the 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 has 1,568 of which 1500 makes up 941 new 2019's sitting on the lots. From this review, Clearly GM is far better at managing inventory than Ram or especially FORD. Yet this does not take into account the strike at GM or sales rate which Chevrolet is behind Ford and Ram. Chevrolet is still a BUTT UGLY Truck. GMC far better.

LOL, Yes Told my kids to pay up and buy the charger to get it faster. They still at times think Dad will buy it for them. Nope on their own now. I do have a real Home Theater setup as stated, My Receiver is a Yamaha, I do believe Samsung could build an equal receiver but I agree their speakers suck and as such have Velodyne Subwoofers and speakers from https://www.velodyneacoustics.com/ which by the way was purchased in November 2019 by Audio Reference Co. http://www.audioreference.co.nz/ I will say they have nice stuff too, but for now I am very happy with my speakers and dual matching subs from Velodyne. Interesting that the guy who was all about music is now focused on Lidar for EVs. His new company is https://velodynelidar.com/ Some pretty cool tech and clearly a very smart man. I will say, he mad AMAZING Subwoofers and speakers. Nope not off topic considering that Polk does have in auto sounds systems that are sold. Very nice but surprised they have not made more progress on getting their speaker / sound systems into more auto's. Sweet Setup!

HAPPY DARWIN DAY!

I also have a Yamaha Receiver from Costco. Just saw that Costco is closing out what was Yamahas $2,500 7 channel surround receiver for 4K TV at $499.98. I see the professional Magnolia HiFi rooms at Best Buy have the newest Yamaha 8K 7.5 Channel surround sound receivers. Gonna go play with it to see the Internet menu as they now come with an interface to compete against Roku. Would love to simplify my setup so I just have one less item to deal with, but right now Roku is just so efficient and fast for moving between streaming services.

@daves87rs I think you need to go to another market if you do not find any Jeeps in the mid teens. Here in the Greater Seattle area, I did a search on AutoTrader and found 197 AWD/4WD Jeep Renegade Sport and Latitude models all from $16 to $19k. Here is just the first few in the long list.
