FE is not the avocado green appliances of the 70's. It is grey with a greenish tint. The FE interior will no more go out of style than any other R1 interior. Which classic cars have the best resale value? The most generic? Or the boldest that most epitomize the age in which they were made...

Thanks for posting.

It is going to be one of the Japanese cousins of the Cadillac Lyriq and Chevrolet EV Blazer. Acura will also gets its version. So, I expect at least the Acura version to get 320 hp and 312 miles of range for RWD . Maybe a bit less for the Chevy/Honda mainstream versions.

Black Mountain is for the Wall Flowers. Forest Edge is for the Crazy Ones.

RAM has never surpassed GM in truck sales. They surpassed Chevrolet truck sales for a few years. Chevrolet + GMC truck sales have always been higher than RAM. Last year Chevrolet Silverado plus GMC Sierra beat F-Series sales.

IF you want to drive in the California highway carpool lanes by yourself. It is a privilege granted to EV drivers. No one is required to put said stickers on their vehicle.

They don't make cars like the 1872 Model T anymore. :CWL:

The reason the Detroit 3 outsourced and sold their autoparts divisions is the UAW. Tesla innovates and eliminates jobs at will and retrains workers to do something else. At a Union shop every job and job description is negotiated. A supplier to the Detroit 3 can act much more like Tesla. Plus...

Tesla runs EPA five cycle test and reports numbers. They don't overstate anything. Kyle from out of spec motoring range tested an EQS 450+ at 70 mph rated at 350 miles of range and got 344 miles. EQS SUV has 71 cubic feet behind 2nd row and Model X has 85 cubic feet. Fact. EQS SUV is not...

Bla bla bla. Dealers are free to set whatever price they want. Consumers are free to set a limit to what they are willing to pay. OEMs are free to set and advertise suggested retail prices. In the US no one is forced to sell a car at a given price nor buy a car at a given price. Most...

Rivian doesn't have an MSRP. Rivian has a MP. There is no wholesale price therefore no different retail price. And it is not suggested. It is no more greedy for dealers to demand a price over MSRP than it is for customers to demand a discount on MSRP when supply exceeds demand. MSRP is not...

373 miles of rated WLTP range is not competitive with 348 miles of rated EPA range of Tesla Model X. Model X will have 14 cubic feet more storage capacity behind 2nd row. And a Frunk. Despite having a larger hepa filter.

Rivian needs another green paint like I need another hole in my head. Good Limestone is grey-powder blue.

The deal breaker for me is no grab handles on the iX. I don't need them but I have family members in my car regularly that need them now. My next car will definitely have grab handles.

There are many suppliers that have in fact been shifting priorities from legacy OEMs to Tesla. Orders are not 5x larger. Tesla has 4 lines with higher commonality of parts. GM/Ford have 30+ lines with less commonality of parts. Tesla makes all BEVs. GM makes BEVs and ICEv. Ford makes...

Global Sales in Units 2021 Ford 6.6M GM 6.3M Tesla 936k Tesla grows 40-80% every year. GM and Ford have been shrinking for Decades. Sometimes 1% sometimes 10%. Every now and again small growth YoY. Any smart supplier would give Tesla at least the same priority as GM and Ford.

I don't. That would kill EQS sedan sales. Customers are normally willing to pay 10% more for the CUV than the comparable sedan. It is not necessary to sell every EQS SUV they can make. And it probably doesn't lower the price for the customer. It just takes profit from Mercedes and gives it to...

My guess is MSRP will start right around $100k. The SUV is made in USA versus sedan in Germany. Cheaper to make. Shipping cost from Alabama to your North American dealer will be cheaper than from Germany to your North American dealer. Market price will depend on market conditions...

Like everyone else so far(outside of China) the OEM will assemble cells into packs. The cells will be made in Georgia by Envision AESC. Mercedes will assemble the packs in Alabama.

By the end of 2022. So will definitely beat Gravity. Maybe R1S too. :giggle::giggle:
