    Surprised no one has actually commented on this or gone to the web site, played with it and then commented.

    Very Excited to hear this, I hope they start with an EV Envision. That would be an awesome EV CUV!

    8yrs is just crazy for an auto loan. My parents taught me to save and then buy what you want, no instant gratification as it does not help you except to load you up with debt.

    I am sorry that you feel I attacked you as my only point was to do just what I did and that is to point out the big waste of tax dollars going to very profitable companies that do not need it and to point out what we have gained by agencies such as Nasa that has brought many amazing products to the markets by having the government pay for the R&D and support the change over to a better way. I am very glad your still here and at least lurk with the occasional comment, I too remember the days of the old owner before Drew. It was good then and good now, we are just more vocal and willing to point out our beliefs and thoughts on this amazing auto industry. Even Ocnblu comments / attacks on EV's allow for a discourse of discussion and dispelling with misconceptions or understandings of a product segment in the auto industry. After all he once was very vocal about his dislike of the Aluminum F150 and lately has been thinking of an F150 FX4. We can all change and I understand change is harder for some than others. Yet I truly believe in my heart we all want a better life, a cleaner place to live and less cost out of pocket. Make it a Great Day 67impss!

    Compare lease rates on various auto's or CPO as right now plenty of good deals to be had.

    So then how do you feel about the so called 40+ billion given to the oil companies to offset their R&D when ExxonMobil made 100 Billion profit and paid their CEO hundreds of Millions. Should we not be cutting off that wasted tax dollars then as well as the billions paid to ethanol companies, CNG companies or Bio-Diesel? Healthy change usually comes by the gov supporting early tech that will lead to a better future for us all.

    Glad to see even with an appointed idiot at the head of the US Dept. of Energy that they can keep updating the web site and building things that support cool stuff like an updated EV web page. https://energy.gov/eere/electricvehicles/electric-vehicles

    Makes one wonder if that could be a indicator of cash flow issues.

    Have to say this is a very cool CPO web site for EV's. You can hunt your EV-CPO down around the world. https://ev-cpo.com/hunter/ I have to say, this is one of the best web sites I have seen built for finding an EV auto.

    So then you must be cheering for the death of your brothers company and a loss of all those jobs, destruction of people's careers, income and ability to put food on the table. Amazing, so are you saying we should cheer for the death of your place of work too?

    GOP needs to pull their heads out, idiots just do not get that climate change is real and ev auto's need to be the future for a cleaner city experience with less pollution to breath and noise to destroy the hearing. Glad to see that the Auto Companies are pushing to keep the tax credit in place. Very well worth it.

    How can we have such stupid idiots, it just boggles the mind. https://electrek.co/2017/11/02/doe-head-rick-perry-says-fossil-fuels-prevent-sexual-assault-also-doesnt-know-what-a-fossil-fuel-is/

    RIP to the Tesla 3 role out of more advanced auto. Guess the change and tweak as you go does not cover a good Alpha and then Beta test.

    @smk4565 MB has turned the AMG badge into a whore as it allows an AMG appearance package to be sold on just about every model they build. As such, like Chevy did to the SS badge by destroying it's street cred, MB has done to AMG destroying it special status and street cred. On top of this is what Balthazar posted about the crazy insane

    Agreed, when you see new current Premium at $80K and Luxury at $70K then you look at CPO and I find 3 at my local Cadillac dealer: 2017 CT6 2.0T Luxury, 2,561 miles for $54,299 2017 CT6 2.0T Luxury 11,880 miles for $53,244 2016 CT6 3.0T Premium, 13,997 miles for $49,283 Amazing deals found on Autotrader.

    Mercedes-Benz has been living for years on leases rather than sales. As such so many badge snobs have leased the MB auto to pretend to have money and as such MB is about to feel the pinch of having a glut of low mileage used cars sitting around that will cause car buyers to get great deals as they move to unload and dump them. This makes me wonder how the next few years will play out as we go into a depression as I suspect many people are going to wait for the EV auto's to hit the market and then reduce maintenance cost, fuel cost, etc. at they change from ICE to EV auto's. For those that have to buy an auto, if you shop right I bet you can get a good deal, for the rest of us, we will wait a couple more years.

    Very interesting, I have never seen an auto that eats through tires like you have. Can totally understand the Toronado tire issue, agree, let her sleep till spring now and then do something about the tires. Totally understand and with the Ice that I have dealt with in NJ, I would also have a set of Blizzak tires to ride on too.

    I used to do this also, but since now all my auto's are AWD, I seem to get very long tire life out of a set of 4 even on the TB. Example is the Bridgestone Duellers I had was a 40K tire and I got 67K out of the set of 4 before I put on the new Michelin Defenders. In regards to winter tires, found that having a set on Rims made it very easy for me to swap them out in my garage in less than an hour and like CCAP41, I can clean and dress the tires so they start out the season clean and neat. Course that was for the Suburban, my only RWD auto left I own. Now everything on AWD, I am good with a proper set of tires all season. I upgraded the brakes on my 94 GMC Suburban before I did anything to the engine back in the 90's with what Brembo sold then and loved the far better response and faster slow down. Paid for itself when a car full of young kids pulled in front of me on the freeway in heavy traffic. 1 ton dually in front of me and they pulled in the space between us and traffic came to a stop. I would have crushed them on the original OEM brakes, but stopped safe and fast and they hit the bumper of the truck and pulled onto the shoulder and as we went by they were clearly freaked out. Brakes is one area I like having superior grip power for faster slow down than needed as you never know the idiots out on the road and what they will do.

    Yes, as much as I want to help and save our planet, there is something very nice about a real fire in a fireplace.
  21. G. David Felt
    Freakin Awesome!!! Where is Mercedes-Benz response? I do not see them building anything this freakin awesome, fast, crazy and just totally Engineering Supreme!

    Seattle is expecting their first snow of the season this friday. http://www.king5.com/weather/blog/first-snow-of-the-season-expected-friday-morning/488162885
  23. G. David Felt
    @Cubical-aka-Moltar Awesome, they look great, love the Michelin Defender tires, quiet and grippy, awesome and ready for winter. Way to go!
  24. G. David Felt
    I see MB continuation of being a German version of Toyota or GM or Ford or FCA is on track. A 3 pointed star in everyone's garage is the focus equal to your income level. How noble of them.
  25. G. David Felt
    Electric Engine or Electric Motor, same thing.
