  1. Agree as is the 1800+ for the AMG Mercedes.
  2. 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. ?
  3. 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. ?⚡
  4. Luxury Pizza delivered in supposed Luxury! ?
  5. 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.
  6. @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.
  7. That would rock as this would be a solid competitor to Toyota TRD Pro I would hope.
  8. Totally agree that their naming is a mess.
  9. Nice power, but such a bland Jelly bean auto.
  10. @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?

  12. Not only why but on the teaser! Just not Loving the Chevy Style right now.
  13. So True: :Charge Panel:
  14. 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.
  15. Guess in Short: "Fuel Panel"
  16. Agree, in today's 21st century world, I like your term: "Fuel System Refill Access Panel"
  17. Got it, cap versus door naming. True a Fuel Door on the auto. Yet thinking about this, is it really a door or a cap. I can see how younger people who have not been into auto's would see it as a lockless cap to fuel the auto. Hmm
  18. @balthazar What do you think of this auto style design?
  19. True, but today's modern take is where the door is also the seal to the tank, no more fuel cap. Just push down and it pops open and you fuel up. Then reseal by click it back in place. Ford Flex was the first auto that I know of that had a fuel door seal, designed by their female engineers as a better way to fuel so you did not have to touch a dirty fuel cap.
  20. Agree with this, I understand the remote gas lid was valuable when Fuel was expensive and people would sifen your gas out, but cheap fuel and change to hybrids, I just have not heard of people stealing gas that would require the added cost of a remote fuel cover.
  21. Oregon used to require having your gas pumped everywhere, but due to the hardship of finding people willing to work for a low wage in the rural areas of Oregon, they have changed to pump your own gas. Only in the major cities do they still pump your gas and that is to phase out in 2020. I have to wonder how long before NJ will follow the rest of the country and go to pump your own gas?
  22. This makes sense, I am surprised it took the two families this long to clean out the upper executives and board members.
  23. Faraday Future has actually not take possession of the building they are supposed to build auto's in. SF Motors has had since last fall the Indiana Hummer assembly plant and already have it pretty much changed over to allow them to build their auto in. Installation is going on with the new updated robots. My gut based on going through their web site is this is better bank rolled and clearly ahead for the China and US market. I am excited to see the Hummer assembly plant get put to good use building new auto's here in the US. I wonder what they will do for a sales channel or dealership. I have to think this will do everything they say as it is backed by a real auto company already building and selling auto's in China.
  24. Yup that is the video of the FJ pulling him up, he supposedly broke something that locked up the axle. Others have posted about better ways to have done this.
  25. With Camaro bringing out a model with a Turbo 4, the folks over at Jalopnik decided to do a review on the worst Camaro ever. The thrid generation 1982 4 banger with the Iron Duke. https://jalopnik.com/chevrolets-first-four-cylinder-camaro-was-really-bad-1825128229 2019 has 275 HP versus 1982 has 90 HP. 2019 has 295 lb-ft versus 1982 had 132 lb-ft of Torque 1982 had a 0 to 60 MPH of 20 seconds.
