Very True and I expect as the industry moves forward into EV's that there is some partial merges if not outright buy outs by those tech companies with the deep wallets.

Agree, I am curious if this is from the bots crawling or what?

They should have had HUD from the Start when deciding to go with an all touch center low mounted single screen. Just safety stupid!

@ccap41 If you would, I would love to know your zip code and current auto your driving. I can then look at the average cost of gas and the average cost of a kWh of Electricity and post the comparison of you driving your car a month to an EV. It would be interesting to see plugging in at home with no more trips to the gas station versus your current routine. I know for me, the Trailblazer SS AWD goes through $400 a month in Gas for 1200 miles driven a month. The Chevy Bolt would cost just under $30 a month. So the change not only covers the cost of the auto especially with some of the deals going on but I save big time.

I understand your Personal reason. Yet you could Choose if you wanted to change your habits if one wanted to embrace an EV. Then at the same time lead the complaints to your local representatives about investing in the charging infrastructure to get more. The west coast did this years ago and now we have a growing and well established network. Personal Choice I get, change is harder for some than others. It is a choice.

True, I understand that, course that is also the cool thing as I bet at your track near you, they probably do have some 220 or 440 outlets so you could get a charge cord with the proper twist lock and just plug in.

Apple sure does,

We Seriously need a Sarcasm Emoji. @Drew Dowdell Quesstion for you, any chance like Slack that this forum software is able to allow us to upload custom emoji's that the Admins can review and approve? Would be cool to expand our Emoji Selection. Would love the Party Parrot group of Emoji's

Which one, Allstate or Saturn? Both seem to be squeaky!

WOW, sorry to have caused you issues. Yea, I am not expecting and DO NOT WANT anyone to post pics. Just the discussion of Hef's Death and how he impacted generations of men and woman. Thanks Drew!

Makes one wonder if Tesla is thinking of an App for your iPhone or Android Phone so you can control your Tesla 3 in the event that your main screen fails. Just tape your phone to the dash as your replacement.

Exit plans and financial goals need to be in any company plan for everyone. Best of luck Drew!

R.I.P. Hugh Hefner 91 Playboy Founder Plenty of news, so sad but Hefner is dead. Guy started the main stream of porn, boys fantasy and the Bunny clubs. He has in one way or another touched so many people with his image of life and woman and how it spun off the start of Playgirl. May he rest in peace! So did Playboy have any affect on your life growing up? First place I fell in love with Asian Woman. Thanks Hef! Sound Off, Did Playboy have any affect on you growing up?

DFelt = G. David Felt, Yup I go by David. Like Drew, I come from a line of Military men, generations of Marines who all on getting out, got college educated and started their own businesses. I have done 1 CNG business on my own and sold it to a much bigger company. Been involved in a total of 7 startups and now work for the worlds largest tech company. DELL EMC I have things in the works as I figure I will be back into my own business again or possibly with a few partners. Two areas I am looking into are the two passions of mine, EV's and AI. Like Balthazar said, @oldshurst442 Tell us about your business as I LOVE FOOD! Foodie am I

I totally agree with you about the Coddle part. So much so, I decided to see if OcnBlu Coddled showed up in a search. Too funny of the results.

You could blaze a trail and check and see if your local power company has any rebates for installing a home 220v Charging system. Washington rebates the cost of the unit, you just have to pay installation. So pretty good deal. Plus adds value to the home as it then becomes EV ready.

I actually posted in the Tesla forum that I feel the Tesla 3 is going to be a very dangerous auto to drive. In the day of distracted driving where one needs to keep their eyes on the road, the lack of HUD and having everything down and to the right where you have to take your eyes off the road will make it an accident waiting to happen. Course, people attacked me and I have since found my account is disabled and my comment gone. So much for intellectual discussion about concerns with the Tesla 3. Considering that much of the auto is controlled through that single touch screen, one does have to wonder just how reliable that auto will be. It is going to be an interesting rest of the year as they roll out the Tesla 3 and we see how people respond to the interface. I wonder how soon before one is totalled?

H'mmmm Are we having a Man-O-Pause Moment in this thread?

See the Marketing, Get your Suction on with Dyson EV Auto! Seems like the early days of the 1900's all over but now all about the EV baby!

This is exciting!, I can see the next generation of Road Warrior using a Road Rover!

You want more check out this 1968 Ford Mustang called the Zombie 222. A tribute to the White Zombie and even better as a street legal EV muscle car. Plenty more you can check out on Youtube on this bad boy. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=zombie+222

Yes, Yes we are! I hope GM is paying attention as a BOLT SS would be totally cool!

Leaf 2.0 will have a Nismo version.

@daves87rs Check it out! Don Garlits is going for 200+ MPH in Pure EV Drag Racer! Gotta Love these new sleeker EV Dragsters! 184 mph quarter mile in 7.258 seconds.

For the west coast, yes, Level 3 quick chargers are now standard. The public and Professional drag races are pretty cool seeing all the various teams that are going EV. Check out NEDRA, the West Coast EV Drag Racing association. Also check out the European EV Drag Racing, crazy cars at 500HP Current World fastest EV Drag Racer, VW Beetle baby with a 9.5 sec run.
