  1. Plenty of threads in this forum where I have not mentioned EVs. Wrong again Bucko, I first brought up the question about I wonder if there would be a hybrid / EV option. Then Drew said he had read somewhere that there would be, I then searched and found from GM to other sites where this new Corvette was created to be an ICE/Hybrid/EV version all on the same platform which GM has confirmed pretty much. Then I found a cool story that I posted after all that of a company that takes the existing C7 bought without the powertrain and makes them an EV. Now you have the proper timeline and what @surreal1272 was commenting about, go ahead and comment on that. Thank you,
  2. Very excited to see this in production form and to see the excitement for this sedan. I suspect Tesla is going to hurt from the sales of a vastly superior built auto.
  3. So your saying you hate your Tesla and all electrics even though your an electric owner. Interesting, ? Not enough fiber to clean out your stools then and so your plugged up and need a Petro Enema! Got it!
  4. Nissan and Mitsubishi are so diverse, that the auto business could really be closed down.
  5. Jeep, Jeep, classic on the left and new on the right. Jeep.is everywhere, old and new.
  6. Yet, GM does NOT sell it in the rest of the Asian rim. It would sell and is a perfect size and I agree it is NOT too big, yet with that said, those small asian countries would need to open up to GM selling it there. There is great control over the story of what the local population is told and what works and does not work for them. They sell this that America SUV/CUV are too big and as such, people are lied to and led to believe that is why they cannot sell them there not the truth that the local gov is controlling what they can and cannot buy. The compact CUV's that American auto companies build will fit and sell just fine if they are allowed into those places, Full size trucks and SUV's not so much.
  7. Here is my thoughts on what I would kill off. I circled them in red. I would think dump those models and bring in a couple modern CUV type auto's as replacements.
  8. Where did you see this as everything I bing and google still has it in the 90,000 to 130,000 range USD.
  9. I would disagree, unlike Asian countries, excluding China, small auto's and cars being the focus will always have a place as SUV/CUV are just too big and expensive. Yet for America, China and Europe, I think we will see a much longer life of the SUV/CUV sticking around. I see the Detroit 3 building some cars and might just be hybrid / electric only for select markets, but the bulk of their global auto's will be SUV/CUV I think.
  10. This is bloody beautiful as a pure electric C7 Corvette with 175 mile range, 789bhp / 700lb-ft of torque in a lovely blue color. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-ces/corvette-based-genovation-gxe-220mph-electric-car-shown-ces
  11. Obiwon you seem to have remembered well, seems the frame is more bolted together than welded to allow for hybrid and electrification. Some very interesting reads as I searched for info on this. https://www.gm.com/masthead-story/mid-engine-corvette-EVs.html https://www.topspeed.com/cars/here-s-what-nobody-is-telling-you-about-the-2020-chevy-c8-corvette-stingray-ar186096.html https://paultan.org/2019/07/22/c8-chevrolet-corvette-could-get-electrification-report/ https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-chevrolet-corvette-could-get-hybrid-or-electric-versions https://carbuzz.com/news/check-out-this-c7-vs-c8-corvette-side-by-side-comparison
  12. Glad to hear this, yet I do wonder what that production number for this year really is. I do wonder how long before GM adds a Hybrid or EV to the Corvette portfolio.
  13. With the advances in solid state battery technology and the design changes that have recently been discovered and are under heavy testing like from XNRGI I see a couple sedans still in the Chevrolet portfolio, but EV focused.
  14. Kool Aid Jello Shots
  15. GM, just like Ford and Ram have never been able to make small or mid size efficient trucks. GM would be best to make the mid size truck an EV at this point.
  16. Yes, if I am going away and no one else will be home, then yes, external outlets are turned off and the whole yard and house secured.
  17. Your taking this out of context, What you state above is true theft and no the home owner is not responsible for what the criminal did. Yet, the home owner is responsible for making sure their house is secure and they are not intentionally making it easy to be stolen from. You would not go off to your job and leave the house doors open, money sitting around allowing anyone to just walk in and take what ever they want. You know that in this case, the Tesla owner is proven guilty then they are at fault which the image implies, yet with that stated, I also point out that is was plugged in to a 110 outlet on the house for 12HRS parked on the sidewalk. How does a home owner never pay attention to their property and what is going on around their property. That is the fault of the home owner for not being aware sooner. Would you not notice a white Tesla parked on your property plugged into an outlet on your house for 12hrs?
  18. Yes, the Home Owner is as much as fault as the person is they are truly stealing his power. Your responsible for your own actions and that includes as a home owner everything that goes on with your property. If this story is true, the Tesla owner needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The home owner also is responsible for not monitoring and managing their property. Not about Entitled anything, but adult responsibility for ones actions.
  19. Have not seen one of these in a while and yet in great shape, Isuzu VehCross.
  20. Much like the asshole entitled toxic diesel bitches that think they can block charging spots because they somehow think they are superior. Like smokers just need to die fast! WOW, that is very weird, I will say this is wrong, yet with that said, I have also noticed that in 3rd party apps that list charging spots, some of them have been personal homes and as such, not just Tesla, Leaf and Bolt owners have ended up using a persons home as it was listed under the public charging. This could be a mis-statement as how does a home owner not notice a 12hr sitting of a car plugged into their home.
  21. Be cool if they do a Hybrid Sport as well as their current normal one. Have two different programmings so you can choose spirited driving or ultimate efficiency.
  22. I would love to take this for a spin around the track, very cool.
  23. Though I love all things EV, I will say the style of this one has me on the fence. It looks like someone stepped on it and that caused the front and rear lights to get squished. It is just a weird look, Rivian is better looking than this. Hell, even Tesla I would take the look over this and Tesla is really ugly to me.
  24. I think I would go with a 2016 Buick and then install the latest version of the stereo system to get the cellphone connectivity.
  25. Weird as I just had this pop up in my browser and never saw this till now, I honestly do not remember where I found this kit, but it was one of the EV conversion companies that use the warp motors. http://www.go-ev.com Going here you can then follow the links to resellers who have these packages for EV conversions.
