Japan EDC Ultra 2017 Totally funny what people wear and especially the ladies and not understanding the english on their shirts.

Seems Reuters Story is reporting the the core of the Tesla 3 bottleneck is battery production issues where they have not fully automated the building of the batteries and some implication that maybe some engine work too since both the Engines and batteries are assembled at the GigaFactory. Dawned on me that this is pretty much all of the greater Seattle Area as to why so many auto's here are AWD. You are always going up or down some place around here. Hills are murder on a snowy day.

That is a Sexy ride. I agree why not the 6.2L supercharged as a last Hurrah to ICE auto's. Course if they do this with the 5.3L for Chevy, maybe a 6.2L version for GMC. Full size Syclone would be cool!

Being this is a Kia thread, how about some history here. 1957 K360 Tri-cycle Kia Heritage through the years.

Very nice and lots of potential. Course in my modern way of thinking my friend, I would be looking at making this a sleeper EV. In Wheel hub motors behind those rims for AWD with a proper battery pack and then other than room for any other needed things like a heater or AC, make the front into a frunk. Then cruise around blowing away newer cars and trucks.

@oldshurst442 Truly EXCITEMENT!!!

Awesome price for a crate motor and the engine kit especially when you compare it to the GM performance crate motors. Would be nice if they did a complete powertrain setup like GM so you have a properly matched Transmission.

@Drew Dowdell Awesome Thank you for clearing that up as the web site is not clear and the forums seems to be unclear also about the 6 spd. Even Jeeps descriptions tends to imply cvt. Great to know they totally dumped the cvt crap tranny's.
-
Update, found more info, seems they are almost identical but the 9 spd is a true gear transmission as the builder offers these pics. ZF (spd Transmission

Interesting as I discovered playing with the configurator. If you are FWD on the Compass you get their so called 6 speed CVT transmission. If you go 4x4, you get the choice of a manual or 9 speed transmission. Weird Part is their 9 speed appears to be the same picture as the 6 speed cvt. Their web site does not seem to really state that the 9 spd is a true gear transmission, but it could be with the new tech in packaging. Have to dig into this more as I always thought the 9 spd was a true gear transmission.

Awesome Post @balthazar Very cool to know they had these 100 years ago. The rest of the world tech is finally catching up.

Agreed, while I loved the interior room of my Son's Patriot, both him and I do not miss it or the weird crazy flaky CVT transmission.
