    Don't need the Diesel torque when the Electric Torque can surpass it. Just think a smooth floored skateboard EV Microbus.

    XTS makes sense as they are still selling well.

    So found the following info on the web site Jalopnik, Bolt deliveries will start to dealers for December, pre-orders can be done starting in November. http://jalopnik.com/chevy-bolt-ordering-delayed-by-three-months-report-1785668778 Also found on the web site Clean Technica a story that states by a GM executive that like Tesla, the BOLT will be the first GM auto to have software updates over the air, no more bringing it back to the dealer for updates. Lots of interesting stuff on the BOLT at their site. http://cleantechnica.com/2016/09/09/chevy-bolt-feature-air-software-updates/

    Anyone who has access to the ordering web site for GM, can you look to see if the dealers can order yet? I know we have a few peeps here that can see if the BOLT is listed for ordering yet from the dealers. Would sure love to see what the full cost is for a BOLT Premium edition and what few other options will be that are not part of the Premium package.

    So this is the Bus some peeps are wanting?
  6. G. David Felt
    I agree that the truck would do well, probably the Microbus too, just hope that unlike all past VW buses, they have a proper propulsion system to move them along as they are slower than a slug.

    V8 Powered! And Supercharged! 500 ponies baby!

    Fiat, Alpha, all the italian garbage needs to be killed off, but they would rather destroy the american brands as they work to bring back their socialist garbage brands. Agree that Fiat needs to die!

    LOL, I do not consider my self Obese, but I know I could afford to loose 10-15 pounds. For me, at 6'6" tall and muscular since I love to work out, the hips, legs, shoulders are a killer in the Prius for me.

    I could see Chrysler being retired to the history books. Dodge picks up the 300 and new platforms for the rest plus a serious dose of plug-in hybrid and EVs.

    I have heard from a few coworkers who have new Priuses that they car is more engaging than past generations, but with that said, there is the low seating position of the car and the serious lack of headroom and over all body space for larger people. Be interesting to see what Drew thinks of it when he test drives a new Prius.

    Volt Great Car if your under 5'10" tall, otherwise the Volt is a No Go especially for tall people in the back seat. BOLT deals with tall people by having plenty of interior head space, leg room etc. Plus BOLT as a CUV addresses the current love affair many have with SUV/CUV type auto's over cars. I tried every which way to fit into a Volt when they came out and then with Generation 2, no way in hell you will get my 6'6" frame into that car. BOLT on the other hand should fit me and the wife loves it over the lower sitting Volt.

    Excellent point made Drew. Value of buying 4 256GB SDXC cards. Still from a storage standpoint, 1TB in the size of your thumbnail if freakin awesome.
  15. G. David Felt
    Fair enough point made, yet with that being said, the Go Pro 5 has WiFi and they are now offering a cloud based connection, so you record everything, delete nothing and when your back in a wifi area you upload the videos to your cloud for others viewing but still have it on the card. My gut as an engineer in the enterprise storage arena is that people will fill this card up faster than we think as they will not bother about ever deleting pictures / videos again. Everything will be stored forever. Unless your OCD like me and like to have the card empty. I still have backups elsewhere in triplicate.

    Interesting is that in the lawsuite it states they cannot get the car to hit the stated 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds, they only get 3.5 seconds proving insane mode is not insane.

    Go Pro 5 - 4K / 8K product designed to use this type of storage. GO Pro 5 Video Release Party Plus for those that use DSLR in both picture taking and video mode, I think this will eat up the storage fast. I also wonder how fast these larger cards will be supported by smartphones like the Moto-Z with the camera option you posted. I can see this going mainstream sooner than most might realize.

    With pricing, colors and packages, Chevrolet has now moved the BOLT into their normal auto listing section on the web page. I wonder how long before they give you a build it option so we can play with the packages and options and finally price out a BOLT?

    Sandisk announces first Extreme Pro SDXC 1TB memory Card. So this is a prototype they showed off, but being that they have a 512GB SDXC card, I would say you might just be able to buy this by Xmas. Press Release - 1TB SDXC Extreme Pro memory card This just shows how fast we are moving into the 4K / 8K word of recording and storing data and how BIG DATA is here now. 2014 They showed off their 512GB SDXC card and started selling it in 2015, now here is the Photokina show and they have a 1TB SDXC card, so I imagine by Xmas or spring of next year they will start selling this card. No matter what, the world is getting smaller and smaller as we increase our density of storage.

    Gizmodo reports Tesla is being sued by 127 people in Norway cause Insane mode is not insane enough. http://gizmodo.com/telsa-sued-because-insane-mode-not-insane-enough-1786893579 Pretty interesting reading, clearly buying the P85D with insane mode is understandably not as insane as a P90D or P100D. Guess these people have more money than brains.

    Click the pink box for checking charging locations in your area. Pretty amazing to see what Level 1, 2, or 3 Quick chargers are around.

    Awesome Chevy Life web site about EV's and the Bolt. Found under the Maintenance section the following: You will need to rotate your tires every 7,500 miles. You should replace the cabin air filter every 22,500 miles. Don't forget to get your brakes, hoses and fluid levels checked periodically. Check out the cool Q&A about the BOLT here: http://www.chevyevlife.com/

    Yet you forget about the Billions of cubic feet of acid carcinogens that circle the globe and hurt us all. The Diesel pollution has already been clearly linked to the heavy Acid Rain that is destroying forest in Europe.

    I could see MB if they made this an AWD EV for the US, it would sell well I think.
  25. G. David Felt
    I agree that the technology needs to be spread across the product lines. I think GM would have a Massive Hit on their hands to make a Zolt. An EV Mini Pickup on this that would be well loved in the City. My piss Poor photoshop but I think a mini EV Pickup would be a big hit. 500 to 1000lbs is all it needs to haul in the bed.
