I have seen this on so many mid west gas stations that have had to dispose of the contaminated GAS in the ground. LOL, Goes both ways. -

Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
G. David Felt replied to G. David Felt's topic in Alternative Fuels & Propulsion
Rivian has become one of the best electric auto start ups with secured $3 billion in funding in the last year. https://electrek.co/2019/12/23/rivian-funding-tesla-investor/ Seems the 100,000 Amazon electric van order is valued @ $3 billion alone on top of building Fords F150 EV and bringing out their own truck and suv next year. Will be exciting to see how they affect other auto makers. -

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-AMG Models Endangered in EU
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
Not off by much but it is stated that the M5 is 241 g/km of CO2. https://www.nextgreencar.com/emissions/make-model/bmw/m5/ Which is higher than the Mercedes AMG version at 200 g/km of CO2 https://www.nextgreencar.com/view-car/75323/mercedes-benz-e-class-saloon-e-53-amg-premium-4matic+-speedshift-tct-petrol-semi-automatic-9-speed/ Course all performance auto's have high CO2 output, corvette is no difference for what is sold in Europe. Yet like you are fond of stating, Hybrids / EVs will fix it all and replace the ICE version. Corvette is expected to have a Twin Turbo V8 Hybrid version to reduce those emissions. https://www.motor1.com/news/384042/c8-chevy-zr1-hybrid-900hp/- 110 replies

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-AMG Models Endangered in EU
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
Death of AMG is nothing NEW, this has been forecast since 2017. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/the-death-of-amg-as-we-know-it-has-been-confirmed-and-its-coming-to-take-our-v8s/ Over the last 3 years, everyone has stated how the death of AMG will change the performance industry. https://www.carscoops.com/2018/04/death-mercedes-amgs-v12-will-mark-end-era/ V12 dead, V8 Dead, V6 death coming to a dealership near you soon. Technology is changing the way the game is played and will not really cause an uproar till Trucks and Full Size SUVs are told they cannot have Diesel, V8's or V6's. Some are going to to have a heart attack when that happens while others will embrace the change and move forward in the 21st century towards the 22nd.- 110 replies

Agreed, I have bought Ford stock and sat on it, till after years of no change, I dumped it and even now, small change this is compared to other companies. I have never figured out why Ford over the last 20 years has never really grown in value like others have. I use a knife to cut them open and eat and not squirt myself. Hate it when that happens.

Seems the patents are starting to come out showing details of new features to the F150 EV and Rivian trucks. https://ww.electrek.co/2019/12/19/new-ford-and-rivian-patents-rethink-pickup-features-in-ev-age/ Some pretty cool stuff including packaging of batteries. -

That explains allot since they FAILED at Audi, Cadillac, so many attempts to copy German way of naming auto's and ended up with declining sales. Sad, so sad! -

Interesting as I wonder what Marketing was done to justify this change especially when we seem to see auto companies go back to names and ditch the alpha numeric's. -

Nope, never said that. It is their responsibility to stay alert and be aware of their surroundings. Yes I would do everything possible to protect them, but that does not have anything to do with having an EV be quiet.- 9 replies

The long range Performance Tesla 3 battery pack has a weight of 1,054 lbs. so if we drop 80%, that makes it about 210.8 lbs.

I asked my North Korean friend how it was there, he said he couldn't complain On a scale of North Korea to America, how free are you tonight? Talking to a liberal is like trying to explain social media to a 70 years old. A liberal is just a conservative that hasn't been mugged yet. I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen too many of them get elected.
