Mercedes-Benz just released their environmental report on how the EQC impacts our planet and some very cool info. https://media.mercedes-benz.com/article/6fec9d20-cbde-4760-810e-6e0e885f36af You can read the full report at the above link, but the bulk of it can be digested here in these 6 slides.

Seems we have a new American Cruiser, Designed in California, 100% built in China and available for sale soon after a major roll out at the Milan Motorcycle Show. https://electrek.co/2019/11/12/hadin-american-style-cruiser-electric-motorcycle-eicma/ Also out is the latest G20 review for which counteries are leading in addressing climate change: Market share of EVs in new car sales, the report, which drew its data from the International Energy Agency, named the top 5 as: China: 4.48% US: 2.45% Canada: 2.32% South Korea: 2.21% France: 2.15% https://electrek.co/2019/11/12/green-transport-report-card-g20-countries/ Latest on Tesla charging is a new 28 stall V3 supercharger station between LA and Pheonix. Allowing a much shorter time for the 372 mile drive. https://electrek.co/2019/11/12/tesla-largest-28-stall-supercharger-v3-station-la-phoenix/#more-110165 Sadly it seems in Germany vandals are setting Tesla auto's on Fire. Go figure. ?\ Seems while he had sentry mode on, was too cheap to buy a USB thumb drive to record the actual video. https://electrek.co/2019/11/12/tesla-set-on-fire-targeted-vandal/#more-110083

Seems Police are finally taking a heavy hand to IDIOTS who ICE electric charging stalls. German Translation via Bing: Our #A11 also takes care of heavyweights: If the big blue had actually tapped the charging station, the electricity would probably have failed in the surrounding households. Gonna suck for this Ford truck owner when they return to find their truck gone to the impound yard. Nice Raptor in the impound cage where they belong. Imagine all the ICE owners who would be pissed if EV's decided to park in front of gas station pumps not allowing people with empty tanks to fill up. ?

Reminds me of Honda, pass.

Agreed, here are the top 5 Korean mountain ranges and their names: Some how a Hyundai Gajisan, Hyundai Dongdaesan or Hyundai Cheonhwangsan as a CUV just does not ring a marketing bell!

Mommy finally got you an auto you could handle.

For being late, ?

I have her Sapphire album, she is an awesome Jazz Pianist.

Wishing you all the best Drew!

At your work? ? I see Hong Kong is officially in a recession along with Russia, Italy, Greece, Japan, and I could go on but yea, I think the Global economy is taking a pause.

Yes Honda had it on a tiny little car. GM did it on a Full size truck that could HAUL and the quadrasteer was awesome for trailering. It made it so much easier to backup and turn around when you had a trailer, the longer the easier it became. I question the sales comment as the last year they still sold very well yet not in the large numbers of the rest of the trucks. I think a business case could still have been made to make a Chevy and Cadillac version of a truck like this. @USA-1 I agree with you that the ELR was what GM should have done first at Cadillac but at around a $55,000 to $60,000 price and then roll out the VOLT at Chevrolet.

Sweet Packages, so much better than anything GM has ever offered. For the R-Line, sad that it has Chrome, to me the R-Line should be monochromatic.

Great technology, but sadly GM like always failed to market it and show the benefits that would justify the cost. Anyone who has driven one of the GMC trucks with Quadra steer knows how easy it is to park those awesome rides. Management stupidity for killing off the Avalanche / Escalade EXT. ?

What about the investments for new tools, robotics, updates to manufacture auto's at that plant location. Would those capital investment costs not need to be put against the income side?

Comfort Foods ??

Some are and have proven that point by building a luxury auto the public wants, but Maseratti and Alfa is NOT what the public wants and has not been selling to be profitable proving that Luxury is not where the money is for everyone as by looking at Jeep and Ram.

WRONG, Luxury is NOT where money is at, that is proven by the success of Jeep and Ram. No luxury line of auto's but a line of auto's that transcends from entry to luxury. Complete product. PSA can and should kill those two brands and make better luxury auto's in other name plates.

Right, this is the truth, get the merge done, then start by looking at what needs to be cut to stop blood loss or kill off non-profit generating products. Dell Technologies like any other mega merging company did this with keeping everything till the merge was done, then reviewing everything and spinning the marketing story on how we can serve you better with this selection of products and that the few features missing are on the road map to be added to the new focused product line. I say in 2 to 3 years after the merger is finished, we will see the Guillotine start happening to the product line.

Gonna be interesting to read what @smk4565 and @ocnblu thinks on this. lol

Some car EXCITEMENT for Hundai. Not bad, could be something to actually stir up the car interest if priced right.

This sounds to me like GM unloaded an expensive property to keep mothballed and will write off a loss against profits to help minimize a tax bill. I question Lordstown Motors ability to get capital and restart this plant. To me both Lordstown motors and Workhorse are dead companies walking.

Tesla products are sooooo Ugly to me and look dated. They have no style or Mojo, I honestly do not get what people think is so great about tesla other than they pushed the awesome EV technology. Interior is like being a minimalist, dead, lacks style, warmth or anything that says I am riding in a quality classy auto. I take the Jag iPace over a tesla or even an MB EQC over the Tesla. I honestly an very excited for the Rivian auto's and the Ford F150 over Tesla's truck. I suspect it will be just another geriatric blah EV.

Seems people are making old Dodges New. Grafted new front end on an old Dodge Wagon. https://jalopnik.com/this-dodge-charger-wagon-spotted-on-the-street-looks-so-1839653803

Seems Jalopnik was able to get pics of the almost naked Mach E and I have to say the pic from the Mach E Forum is pretty spot on. Check it out: https://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-ford-mustang-inspired-suv-caught-almost-tot-1839701061
