I think the most fitting name is DOLT.
Ford has Mustang and Trucks.
Chevy has Corvette and Trucks.
Dodge has Hellcat and Trucks.
Good luck with Detroit branching out.
They are in serious trouble....again.
Tesla quality control ain’t the best out there. But GM QC has a long way to go before they can even come close.
9-volts.
Are GM and Tesla also investing in electric power stations? Just a little fly in the ointment. Energy, it comes from unicorns.
A disaster waiting to break. And the dead broke taxpayer will be stuck with the monumental tab.
I dont like either.
One company builds fleets of terrible vehicles. And they are only getting worse.
The other builds slightly better, but you cant have your regular mechanic do anything with them and the company takes months to get even the smallest repairs done and your vehicle has to be sent in.
Mine was built in Indiana...
She’s an ego mad narcissistic whack job. Just what I want...an electric Corvette.
If I do, and that's an IF, I'll upgrade my home solar system. Currently it produces half of the power I consume in my all-electric house and will pay for itself in about 10 years (including the interest I'm paying on the HELOC I took out on it). With the upgrade I'm thinking it'll produce 90% of the power I consume even with the EV added.
If I get an EV that gets 1.8 miles per kWh (Ford claims 2 miles per kWh for the F150L, but I'll assume my real world results are 90% of the brochure claims much like a gas car's real mpg aren't the advertised mpg). And I get a 1.9% interest rate on the car, and keep driving about 200 miles per week. And if both the cost for gasoline and the cost of electricity rise at a 3% inflation rate, it'll pay for itself in the 11th year.
Good investment? Not compared to growth investments like I do in my retirement accounts to build wealth. But it's a nice hedge against inflation (since I'm near retirement part of my portfolio is in safe funds, I see this solar/EV investment like that). Considering how much the Dims are making energy costs skyrocket and are promising even more, I'm doing this to protect my nest egg from runaway Dim inflation promises.
At least they have one!.............
Yeah...that’s uh, kinda gay to use an older term...
AHA! Someone else remembers DEC Rainbow computers with their proprietary versions of standard software!
Imagine standardized battery packs that can be quickly swapped out at service stations.
Solar panels and wind turbines. Sheesh......😂
From what I have read Toyota is going to be the leader in EV’s. They are coming out with more new EV innovations than Tesla and China combined.
“With the upgrade I’m thinking it’ll produce 90% of the power I consume even with the EV added.”
What kind of battery set-up are you looking at in order to use the solar power generated during daylight to charge your EV truck at night? (I am not up on the latest home solar tech so sorry if the question does not make sense.)
GM is an analog for the US. GM was once dominating and innovative. GM was attentive to the customer and was a real benefit to the public.
Now GM is clueless, they make crap, and they don’t care if you like it.
