To me and my road trips, it is the ultimate road trip auto. I have no problem paying that price as it has been totally worth it. Course I also still have my 1994 GMC Suburban SLE with over 300K miles on it so I would have to assume I am next to zero on the cost per mile. ?

Chevrolet Bolt Gen 2 in 2025? At the 1 min 25 sec mark, the Bolt discussion begins and they talk about the production of the autonomous BOLT. Plenty of other EV info on BMW, MB and Kia plus so much more. I have to question the 2025 release of Bolt 2.0 as that would put the current bolt into an 8yr run which in today's society, would be 4yrs past due and very old. I more or less expect a refresh next year with a new version in 2020 as a 2021 model or 2021 as a 2022 model.

2006 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum edition Bought new, Currently 130,000 equals .32 cents per mile

In this story I now wonder if GM got their Avalanche Idea from FORD. https://jalopnik.com/behold-the-beautiful-madness-of-what-brazil-did-to-ford-1794932201 Seems Ford of Brazil made a 4 door truck with bed before GM ever did.

Very Cool Ford Story on the Mexico B100. A 3 door SUV built out of the F100 to F150 from 1973 to 1994. https://jalopnik.com/the-mexican-market-ford-b-100-is-the-three-door-ford-f-1825191099 Would have posted the cool looking 3 door pic but right now not able to attach jpg or png images.

@Drew Dowdell Seems File uploads now do not work for me. Not sure about anyone else, but tried to upload a 673kb pic which was a png file and it fails. I then saved the auto pic as a jpg and tried that and it failed to upload also. I also used to be able to cut n paste pictures into responses or stories and it fails now. Very weird. Message that I would attach as a screen capture is as follows: "There was a problem processing the uploaded file. Please contact us for assistance."

GTI @ $760 a year or Corolla at $340 a year? I will take the GTI over the Corolla.

The truck is still on the planning roadmap, but not till 2020 last I had heard.

Since I have not followed Porsche, I was not aware of the pricing and have to really say I agree with the crazy cost to keep it running at that price. But agree that the AMG, M series and Porsche are crazy cost to keep running. ?

Agree as is the 1800+ for the AMG Mercedes.

That is their CUV to compliment the Tesla 3. Just as the X is to compliment the S. Yea, they really need a better naming system. 3 & Y is one family and X & S another family. ?

True as they are the new Kid on the Block, but I agree with Drew that the only Model they could be building in a few months is the BK model. I will say that with SF Motors having two assembly sites almost already to start production and taking a more traditional Auto building approach to getting production up and running before delivery / sales begins, they could surpass Tesla Quickly and since it is the Original Tesla Owner and a new Partner that is doing this, I bet that the guy wants to stick it to Tesla. ?⚡

Tesla Model Y Nov 2019 According to a story on Autoblog which talked off the record to auto suppliers, Tesla has asked for quoting on supplying parts for the Tesla Y which will go into production Nov 2019 according to the RFI. Tesla Y story Seems Musk thinks he can produce 500,000 auto's off the building in Fremont California which is currently producing the Tesla S, X and 3. Now he wants to add the Y to this when they struggle to build the 3 in sufficient quantities. This makes me wonder how much business will be stolen by SF motors and their EV CUVs that will be built at an existing Hummer assembly plant they acquired and are currently renovating to build the SF5 & SF7? If SF Motors can get pre-production versions started this summer with production in the 4th quarter of this year for auto's to be on sale in Spring 2019, this could really pinch Tesla and their attempt to raise $2 billion in additional cash as they stated to build the Tesla Y.

@oldshurst442 That Brown concept is a nice start to an updated version for the next Mad Max Movie! Concept was a Duramax Diesel! Wonder just how many of the features will really make it into the truck. At least all the Off-Road ones should, but I wonder about the bed connection stuff.

That would rock as this would be a solid competitor to Toyota TRD Pro I would hope.

Totally agree that their naming is a mess.

Nice power, but such a bland Jelly bean auto.

@Drew Dowdell Hey Drew, sorry to bother you, but today the following now shows up but when I use them, I am unable to post into the Forum. So do we or do we not have new emojis?

So True: :Charge Panel:

We'll it is a Tesla Founder startup, Guess since they went with S, X and 3, we are pushing it to expect anything more from him than 5 & 7.

Guess in Short: "Fuel Panel"

Agree, in today's 21st century world, I like your term: "Fuel System Refill Access Panel"
