    Seems our favorite CUV of late is being 100% recalled due to an incorrect restraint assembly being installed wrong. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2019/08/kia-recalls-basically-every-telluride-sold-in-america/

    Get Ready for that other shoe to drop, the price shoe on EVs. As per this story, prices for Lithium have dropped and will continue to drop as 6 new mines in Australia alone have come on line and will contribute to a 23% rise in production of Lithium for use in batteries. Current costs per the story: today's $176 per kwh, to $94/kwh by 2024 and $62/kwh by 2030 https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124776_ev-battery-suppliers-face-glut-of-lithium-tight-supply-of-other-materials Course this does not take into affect lower prices on other components as economy of scale takes over with ramped up production.

    Seems BP has officially opened the first of 400 new Fast DC charging stations in the UK to compliment their 7,000 charge points across the nation there and will have all 400 DC fast chargers installed by the end of 2021. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/ bp-chargemaster-installs-first-of-400-150-kw-chargers/

    I will say that I do like the Tesla Semi truck incorporation of side mirror cameras and views.

    I actually have liked the Cadillac's that came OEM with Matte paint jobs, looked nice. I have also seen many various modern current autos with the monochromatic look and that is far better than the Denali chrome everything look to me. Right, so my parents are at the tail end of the Silent Generation or Traditionalist and yet they associate themselves with the baby boomers. Lucky you can have all the chrome you want, I will go black chrome which looks sharp or mono as my preference for an auto look.

    I honestly would rather have them quote 45 to 60 time as a more meaningful time representing passing, getting up to freeway speed from the on ramp. I am sure there are far better ways we could think up quickness to represent real world driving than the 0 to 60 time.

    Probably not to auto enthusiast that cover the whole auto industry history, but to the current kids to people in their 50's. Chromed out Blinged out auto's was a Baby Boomer thing. From my 78 and 76 year old mom and dad to their friends, they all reference chrome as being their generation, the baby boomers. These are your average Joe's and as such do not see the history, just what they had as a focus point to their life and how younger people see it today. Heck, so many 30 somethings to 50's refer to the Chromed out look as such a Baby Boomer thing. Clearly they do not see the history of the auto industry just that generation and that for the most part, the autos of that era were all chromed / Blinged out.

    Here is what the screen looks like on at night and a picture of the HD with night vision backup camera. Have to say they have come a long way in quality as my sons 2017 Jeep GC camera is not this good. Love having all the natural GM steering wheel controls plus the touch screen.

    Right! I am so over the Baby Boomer every thing Chrome look.

    When you click on a new tab in Brave you get the current statistics of what Brave has done and it looks like this:

    I will agree with you, the cities around where I live that have installed them says they are making the streets safer, but one did acknowledge a 10 times increase in accidents from people slamming on the brakes and being rear ended. I HATE the red light cameras myself.
  13. G. David Felt
    Seems we are killing a 1,000 people a year due to red light runs and AAA is suggesting everyone use red light cameras since cops cannot be everywhere to try and reduce the deaths. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/08/29/traffic-deaths-red-light-running-aaa-study/2122242001/

    Rid yourself of the FEAR of being DEMONETIZATION by using the Brave Browser. Built on the open source code of the Chrome browser, this browser allows you to stay in control of where you go, default is no tracking allowed, blocking of pop ups, ads on the web site, etc. https://brave.com/bra036 I have it installed and have been using it all day when I check in on C&G site and have to say I am liking it! This is one of the easy to use built in tools to tell you how it has protected you so far.

    Test a big person sitting in the front and back please.

    Yes be it parking outside or inside, you just pull up to your home over the pad and go in for the night, come out the next morning fully charged and ready for the day.

    Excited to see this in the wild.

    Currently there are 3rd party companies that have home wireless charging pads that are 220V and depending on battery size will take from 8 to 14hrs to fully recharge. Good Read here: https://getelectricvehicle.com/wireless-charging-for-electric-cars/

    Really, with the way people love to order their coffee / latte I think people want the flexibility to order up what they want on an Auto as long as they can get it fast same day I would think. Yup 500 miles and wireless charging pad in the garage is perfect.

    As I posted, this is probably one of the best looking CUVs MB has made in a while, yet is far from perfect and I have been looking at the pictures over and over and it finally dawned on me what makes this look cheap. Interiors are personal choice and I really do not have any big issue with it at this time as nothing stands out as glaring. OUTSIDE, Big issue with the following two things. The bloody CHEAP looking black fake plastic Gills on the front end with the black plastic mold around the wheel wells and bottom of doors and the back bumper and the second issue is that ugly silver painted after thought on the black rear bumper wrapping around the dual exhuast. To me, MB as a luxury auto company should have done something better than this as well as AMG is missing the flare on this model. To me this looks more like a top end regular CUV from MB.

    I would agree that we are NOT at the engineering limits of ICE auto's. Yet with that said, for the sake of our planet, future health of kids, family, loved ones, etc. it is in our best interest to push forward with better tech and obsolete older tech if possible sooner rather than later.
  23. G. David Felt
    Just hope it is truly engineered to minimize taking that cargo space, forgot which CUV I saw recently that had a fold flat 3rd row, but it was terribly implemented and ate up interior cargo space.

    People love options, the only way this works is if you offer a fully loaded one at the so Premium Value Price and then offer the Alacarte build it yourself option and yet that would greatly reduce inventory on hand and reduce sales I think for people to wait for 8 weeks for their auto to be built, we need to get to a 100% automated robotic assembly line on a skateboard platform with Mini Factories where you stop at your dealer, you pick options and color and it is assembled and you get it the same day. That would work then.

    @ocnblu Perfect for you, a Diesel 4x4 Corvette. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/a-teenage-kansas-farmer-built-this-diesel-off-road-corvette-and-its-a-stroke-of-genius/ar-AAGtoKY?li=BBnb7Kz Interesting take on wether or not a recession / depression is coming. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/this-is-the-factor-thats-likely-to-determine-whether-theres-a-us-recession/ar-AAGv9EF?li=BBnb7Kz
