Stellantis might not be the first with EVs, but what they're coming up with sounds very competitive. Plus, they'll still probably offer CarPlay. -
I'm not sure how the Qualcomm system effects whether they turn it off or not, but if they want to really piss off customers and spark lawsuits, they'd turn off CarPlay after selling the car.

Chevy announced the pricing of the upcoming 2024 Traverse, and hold on to your wallets because it just got a lot more expensive to buy a big crossover from the bow tie brand. The 2024 Traverse will start at $39,995 for the base MSRP, an increase of $3,580 over the outgoing 2023 Chevy Traverse LS FWD. What's new for that $3.5k? There is the massive new 17.7-inch infotainment screen, over 10" larger diagonally than the prior units. Plus, there is more power from the 2.5-liter inline-4 with 315 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, a slight increase over the 310 horsepower of the old V6, but a significant boost over the V6's 266 lb-ft of torque. There was a gear dropped as the 9-speed drops to an 8-speed unit, but with the extra torque, we doubt owners will notice. At the top end of the lineup, Chevy has phased out the High Country and Premier trims, instead offering the off-roading Z71 trim and a sport-oriented RS model. A first for the Traverse, the $47,795 Z71 trim isn't just an appearance package and adds actual off-roading capability with a 1-inch increase in ground clearance, a widened track, off-road dampers, all-terrain tires, aluminum skid plate, Terrain Mode control, Hill Descent control, and a twin-clutch all-wheel drive system. The tippy top of the range is the RS, starting at $55,595 and getting practically all of the options from the lower trims, it also sports 22-inch wheels, a firmer sports suspension, blacked-out exterior trim, a flat bottom steering wheel, and standard one-touch folding second row and power-folding thirst row seating. The Traverse has always been one of the largest cargo capacity crossovers available on the market and that continues to be true with a 98 cubic-foot max cargo capacity. If you like the current model better, it will live on for a while as the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Limited. The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse will be built at GM's Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan and will go on sale early this year. -

A lot of this hinges on a lawsuit in front of the Supreme Court right now over fishing rights. A group of fisherman are trying to get the rights of these agencies (FTC, EPA, DOT) to set policy thrown out. It will up end 40+ years of regulations. If the fishermen win, the CARS act goes away entirely, along with so much else.

The Ioniq 5 is a hatchback no matter what Hyundai got it classified as by the EPA. If the Ioniq 5 is a crossover, then so is the GTI.

I voted "No". We're looking at the Honda Prologue over the Blazer EV for this exact reason. For now, the EValanche seems to be grandfathered in under the old policy.

Buick's large crossover will get the sleek Buick Wildcat concept styling from the show car. The Enclave will sport the same slim "eyes" and large lower grille as seen on the Buick Envista, but scaled up for the Enclave's size. We expect the Enclave to receive the same 328 horsepower / 326 lb-ft of torque 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder found in the recently refreshed Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia. While the Enclave has been fully redesigned, it will continue to use an updated version of the existing C1 platform and be roughly the same size as the outgoing model. While the teaser sketches show a more rakish rear glass, the mules that have been spotted retain the more traditionally upright profile we are familiar with. Its a shame, however, as we can see a space in the Buick lineup for a more rakish and svelte Enclave following the concept art. Buick also took the time to tout their growth. Buick sales for 2023 were up 61% with the Encore GX scoring a 92% increase year over year. It was also a great year for Buick's Avenir trim with more than 26% of all retail sales. Envista is bringing fresh customers to the Buick brand, nearly 70% of Envista buyers are new to Buick. Even the Enclave, in its final full year of production of the current model saw sales increase 29%. The 2025 Buick Enclave will be unveiled later this year and likely hit dealerships in the fall of 2024. We expect a significant price increase as the 2024 Traverse jumped over $3,500 for the refreshed model. View full article

Gives you something to do when you're waiting for an extra long charge I guess.

Hertz Selling Off 30% of its EV Fleet because of Tesla
Drew Dowdell replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Tesla
A lot of these were part of a program Hertz set up with Uber to provide cars to Uber drivers, that’s why there are 2022s with 85k miles. I think the biggest issue was the repair costs caused by Tesla using gigapress coupled with the depreciation hit from Tesla dropping retail prices. -
VinFast Announces America Will Get the Tiny VF3 :Comments
Drew Dowdell replied to Anthony Fongaro's topic in CES
I think a 4-door would be more, but if it ends up at $26k, I think that would still be more than fair for an EV. The Renegade starts at $28k.
