  1. Bolt is a big seller on the west coast and you see them everywhere just as much as I am now starting to see the Tesla 3. Only difference is I do not hear of door handle problems and other issues that seem to have hit the Tesla 3. I think if Musk had focused on reliable over trick features like the pull in door handles, they would have a more robust product. BMW iNext CUV went from those trick door handles on the Concept to regular door handles on the mules that are running around now.
  2. I agree that more charge points are needed, I see the ones on Seattle's city Streets are always being used and the 8 charge points here at my works are always full with a waiting line of EV / PHEVs that will be notified when the their turn to charge is ready.
  3. Be interesting to see how these multi-function tail gates really survive in the real world of hard use.
  4. Thanks Blu for pointing that out, just looked on GM.com and they are a certified performance shop but also does other brands too. I see they do not have the old GM performance web site, instead they have gone to a sub section of Chevrolet. https://rj-conlin.dcatalog.com/v/2019-Chevrolet-Performance-Catalog/?page=1 https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/overview The first link is from the actual performance site. So in looking at the performance upgrades for the 3.6L V6, I see no reason the Chevrolet parts would not work with the Buick, GMC or Cadillac auto's that have the same motor. Yes some tweaking might be needed based on space, but for the most part at a high level, they should work.
  5. WOW, I have seen them all over here, but more important in eastern Washington, Idaho and a few in Montana. places where it gets really cold and they just work.
  6. Yea never here this about the Chevrolet Bolt!
  7. That is some freak-in massive electric speed!
  8. I loved your removed post, that was Agree that these trucks are getting massive. The look is one of the best I have seen for this truck,
  9. Agreed and I see Carid.com has a number of performance upgrades for the auto. Wonder what we will see in the aftermarket parts upgrades once this is released. ?
  10. @A Horse With No Name So in looking at the GM Performance Site, they have lots of tweaks for the motor in the GS. Pretty cheap way to improve performance output. Yes, not all say they will work with this motor but this 3.6L V6 is used in so many different auto's I bet you could easily use them on the GS. Funny to see Mopar Performance motors on the GMPerformance web site. ?‍♂️
  11. @William Maley Thank you for all you did here, it was a pleasure of enjoyment to read your postings. Best of luck for the new position. Look forward to an update on how the new job goes. Keep Fighting ? to achieve your dreams and desires and you will win!
  12. Thank you, I never looked in the auto, but it is weird to see it fail like that. He also could have been doing something really weird. Wish I had taken a picture but needed to get the shopping done and back home.
  13. Yet if you need this type of a work truck and especially if you have a farm, you probably already have Diesel tractors, so why bother with the Gas Motor when I bet the Diesel is far more efficient. ?
  14. Now this I do not get, if you need the capability of a Super Duty, then Diesel is really the only common sense way to go. Gas is so inefficient, cool big block motor though. Thank you for posting, it is interesting to see Ford do this.
  15. That is not what I am seeing or hearing and OEM EV options as they become more common will take off as more and more people will be happy to drop the maintenance and trips to the gas station unless on a road trip.
  16. Very sharp looking, great job on the build, I like the non-chrome appearance. What is your price range you want to stay within? Then maybe various folks here can play with builders and see if they can find you something you will like.
  17. Then maybe you should wake up to the future that is coming. Oil Companies have as Shell will have their stations outfitted with Chargers for pay just like in Europe starting this year as they go about installing all across North America. Read the future here:
  18. Agree with your assessment, the Camaro is sterile.
  19. Ran to the Korean grocery store, saw a brand new Ford Explorer that the front passenger tire was pushed right back into the wheel well. Guy looking at it and I asked him how it happened. Said he was in 2wd mode, it was slipping so pushed the 4x button at 35mph and then heard a loud snap noise and next thing he was spun around and so he drove it into the parking lot here. Me think he hit 4L and ended up with this result, his drive line to the wheel was snapped at the boot. Weird break but the whole suspension is all ripped up. Not impressed with how easily everything just tore apart. Gonna be expensive to repair.
  20. I like your thinking, time for a clean reboot on various product lines.
  21. I really hope that GM's announcement of supporting the 800V charging system is spot on with also being CCS supported. This is what I see the future being as we have quick minute recharge times of smooth Torque EVs.
  22. Agree that Mild Hybrid is a waste of resources as we now are producing electric motors that can cause a Camaro to do a Wheelie and give amazing Torque and performance. Why bother with mild Hybrid when you can have hot ICE or Hot pure Electric.
  23. Hopefully some of these folks have current skill sets that allow them to get picked up by Rivian or Atlis auto companies.
  24. That is awesome, I just DO NOT get why people cannot take the time to clearly remove the snow from their auto. Idiot assholes right and left. That guy looked pissed but at least just did the right thing, clear the window and move on.
  25. Sounds like a fine send off before an EV version is introduced.
