Maybe I should not have said "bold move" but rather "GM had a thought and some feelings". :D

I see you take bold as an absolute, maybe even only the front runners can do it perspective. I take it to be relative, for GM, an antiquated has-been to declare all EV, it is for them. A winner take all approach to bold, or any other endeavor, suggests we should only care about the leaders...

GM has had a PE ratio generally speaking between 0 and 20, mostly around 8 to 10 **for the last 10 years**. When Tesla has a P/E of absurd proportions, Amazon/UPS/USPS look to a startup for commercial bids, and even China(!) is going EV, there's no need to check in with shareholders...

This is a bold declaration. I wonder how Ford will respond as we've already heard from Toyota and VW. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35352321/gm-eliminate-gas-vehicles-2035/ GM CEO Mary Barra announced a bold plan to phase out gas- and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035. The plan is part...

https://electrek.co/2021/01/27/tesla-new-steering-wheel-force-touch-buttons-autopilot-sensors/ Fred does a yeoman's work. The comment section on the other hand is a rabid fan base. Nice to see the new battery and updated motors getting love, that is...as long as they don't take away from CT...

George Carlin approves

@Frankenblob I get where you're coming from. The tri-motor price is already out of my range and I'm figuring out how to make it work. No others have the range. I have a model 3 and know what I'm getting with FSD whereas the offerings from the others seem like a step back. I'm not sure what...

I would say that tri-motor will come first but for a different reason. I would imagine, a.k.a. pulling this idea out my butt, they would want to verify every component of the assembly line first by making the vehicle that uses all the stations. Make a bunch of those for customers and see if...

Not exactly sure what they are referring to but here's a thread talking about paint and wraps https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/conducting-testing-on-300-series-stainless-steel-temperature-and-bullet-test.1315

Big sarcasm bomb incoming... Wait....journalists, who get zero access to Tesla because it doesn't even have a communications department and who also get shit on by its CEO, are mad at Tesla? Whaaaat?? Btw, also from the same "awards" And what the hell, it's a CUV. Not only is it not rated...

If you were referring to me, no I didn't not forget the Rivian. I ignored the Rivian. I think Rivian is doing a great job with its development, subdued marketing, attention to detail, etc. Until they mass produce a vehicle and/or have an iconic vehicle that they are transforming, they aren't...

I can imagine GM and Ford engineers thinking, "Why exactly are we doing this?". There are many reasons that current ICE trucks are superior, the most obvious is that they exist. I'm very curious to see if Ford can produce an equally capable EV F-150 **independent** of price. The Hummer on the...

Large capacity as in surface area or large capacity as in production power? I'm sure someone with more experience could bang out the correct power production numbers faster and more correctly. In the meantime, I'm under the impression that charging from solar panels to car would 7 to 10kW/day...

I don't see it that way. And by that, I'm being nice and really mean everything in that above-mentioned as it relates to a CT. For a S3XY unibody design this is new, cool stuff. For the CT, this is - and I could be wrong - never gonna happen. The forces on a S3XY unibody are fine for...

I don't read it that way. The executive supervisory board i.e. the ones that he needs confidence from said yes to him. The non-executive board in charge of his contract said no the extension that he wanted early. In other words, the labor unions know the switch to EV is VW's future, but...

There's another thread going on about this.

You really don't hear yourself do you? Traditionally, firms go through four phases. Startup where costs are high and income low, growth where costs and income are high, and then they leave California. See... You have to be a successful company to leave California. It's not a pity, it's an...
