CES 2019: Harley-Davidson Livewire
Yup I would totally agree, but then who knows, like Drew said, they have been working on this since 2014, so one would hope it is a global platform, but then companies have made major mistakes before.

CES 2019: Harley-Davidson Livewire
I agree that this will sell in very limited numbers. I am now thinking this is a stop gap measure till they get a new global Electric Bike Platform out. More that this will be used to allow a bunch of test drives for people to get used to the idea of an Electric Bike and allow the dealerships to install their charging systems till the full family is ready to roll out in 2022.

Talk about a Head Scratcher of choice. The only way I would buy a Blazer is as follows costing me an RS price of $53,755: AND CHEVROLET JUST LOST THE WAR!!! Built a Trailhawk 4x4 pretty much fully loaded with V8 compared to V6 at $54,015. I get so much more auto for the money. GM clearly is overpriced their CUVs. Love the look of the Blazer, but will take the Grand Cherokee over it.

Awesome, so excited for this to hit the market. Sad the price is so high, I think they are truly thinking their name will justify the price, but I wonder.

Nope, all opinions are valid and the Rivian and Atlas electric trucks are far better than this ugly Chevrolet truck.

UFO's are both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial, after all so many are duped by thinking there is a god and let a fictional book guide their life. Yes, just look at ancient buildings around the world that humans cannot still explain and the extreme belief in a so called god that could very well have just been an advanced race visiting the pathetic poorly developed humans. As far as an official capacity, look at the nonsense of religion in government.

Industry News: The Run of Near-Record Sales Appears to be Ending
Yup, I think we waste way to many borrowed dollars on social programs outside this country that gain us nothing at a time that we need to focus on ourselves in rebuilding strong the infrastructure of this country. Totally agree also with the defense spending to other countries that needs to be re-evaluated as we need to force our gov to live in the budget and pay down debt. Why the political points is that I feel no matter how one feels about the Detroit companies, they are now thinking long term in cutting products that they do not compete profitably in and focusing on areas that they do believe they can do even better. We all have to live within a budget, the gov should too and while some here hate GM for the plant closures and lay offs, the good of the whole I believe is being looked at in the long term over the good of the few. Only time will tell how GM, Ford, FCA, etc. plays out and who survives into the 21st century EV future. I can actually see Tesla surviving over some other brands especially from FCA.

Ford HD Platinum is $100,000 and they are selling those diesels, so a person who wants to be green will love having a 500 mile range HD pickup that is silent electric.

True, anyone can take money but then Tesla was in this place many years ago, they got people excited and have a very loyal following. As stated Detroit, Tesla never has been part of Detroit and Tesla DOES NOT build a full size Pickup Truck. Gotta admit this truck looks even better than Rivians pickup truck and does address the 5.5 ft bed as Atlast offers in 6.5 ft or 8 ft along with Dually option which is what allows the High Gooseneck towing of 35,000lbs. Per their own website based on configuration of battery pack and single wheel or dually you have the following very realistic figures: TRAILER HITCH TOWING CAPABILITIES (lbs): 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 FIFTH WHEEL AND GOOSENECK TOWING CAPABILITIES (lbs GCWR): Single rear wheel 10,000 25,000 Dually rear wheel 15,000 30,000 20,000 35,000 PAYLOAD CAPABILITIES (lbs) 1,000 2,000 3,500 5,000 AVAILABLE SUSPENSION OPTIONS With air springs and an independent rear suspension, the Atlis Motor Vehicles ensures that heavy loads are properly leveled, while providing the utmost in ride comfort. Standard: Air spring with dynamic load damping and 12-inches of ground clearance Optional: Off-road long travel suspension with 15-inches of ground clearance * Off-road long travel suspension unavailable with higher towing and payload options These guys have all worked in the auto industry and bring a ton of real life experience to this start up.

Sharp looking from the back too! Their designer has his own web site and I have to say I love his take on a futuristic Wrangler or what he calls the Longnose. https://www.macchinadesign.com/

Loving the looks of this Truck! Like their thinking, be interested to see if they hit their 2020 production start goal. A NEW OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE Atlis Motor Vehicles isn’t just changing the truck, we’re changing the ownership experience. We’re developing purchase and all-inclusive subscription models, designed to stretch your dollar further and maximize your electric pickup truck experience. For subscribers, this means significant monthly savings. It also means an ongoing experience of new vehicles, every three, five, or seven years. Maintenance will be covered, as will charging. For direct purchases, we’ll be offering a warranty you can count on, with the convenience of pay-as-you-go charging. Atlis Subscriber Club New vehicle every 3, 5 or 7 years Maintenance is 100% covered Insurance is 100% covered Unlimited free charging Starting at just $700/month Direct Purchase 10-year, 100% warranty Pay-as-you-go charging Must carry personal insurance Starting $45,000 Service & Warranty EV’s have inherently longer maintenance intervals than combustion engines, and our trucks are being designed for minimal maintenance and maximum longevity.

With our subscription service, all routine maintenance will be covered, and the warranty will last at least the duration of the subscription.

Love the interior, this should be a wake up call to the Detroit Legacy OEMs. A center-mounted digital touch screen will serve as the hub for vehicle settings, heating and cooling, and infotainment with Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Use its physical rotary knob to make fast commands and quickly change settings. The dash instrumentation will be a multi-split digital touch screen displaying all live vehicle information, including live video feeds from the standard driver assistance cameras. The unique UI behind the wheel ensures the user is in complete control and allows for various customization. This creates a personal connection as you will be able to create an aesthetic you want. @balthazar You should love the bed options.
