I have the same disease as Hoovie. I tend to flip cars a lot. I think I might be missing one or two. 1979 Celica Supra JDM 1986 Ford Laser JDM 1987 Toyota Corolla JDM 1994 Suzuki Swift GT 1995 Mazda B3000 1993 Infiniti J30 1989 Mazda Miata (wife's first car) 1972 VW Type 1 1998 VW New Beetle...

The Explorer EV is already in happening. However, it was recently delayed. I haven't heard anything about an Expedition EV but you just know it'll happen. I suspect Ford will build that on the TE1 platform, sometime after 2025. I ordered a Silverado, but really it's just hedging in case my...

I need to see more, but I actually kinda like it. However $105K is no bueno. You'd think GM would offer their value brand at a value price considering the Sierra EV is going to start with the Denali trim. If they start with a version at ~$50-60K, I think I'd consider it. $105K sounds...

I tend to agree. Indications are that the EV Silverado is based on the same platform as the Hummer EV. That ain't gonna be cheap. Tomorrows presentation will be interesting.

I won't lie. I'm tempted to buy and flip a Lariat.

I’ve been saying that the Rivian was very favorably priced when compared to the Lariat, but the XLT+ made more sense. But a $9500 required premium package changes everything. You can get an R1T with the upper level adventure package for less money. My Rivian arrives sometime between Oct and...

I am very doubtful it’s a glitch. It does help me though. The XLT+ ER was the trim I would have seriously considered over the Rivian R1T. With this, there is no doubt I’m going for the Rivian.

So does this mean, if I'm in Wave 1, I have until March 31st to actually place my order and NOT lose my place in line? Or could someone in Wave 2 get ahead of me if I don't pull the trigger within a week?

I'd need to see some evidence of that. The draft vehicle is taking advantage of the low pressure air pocket behind the trailer. That pocket is there whether a vehicle drafts behind them or not. I have a hard time believing that would even cause parasitic drag. More likely, the truck drivers...

Absolutely. Mythbusters even did an episode on it. Following just 100ft behind a semi improved fuel economy by 11%. At 50ft it went up by 20%. at 20ft there was a 27% improvement. at 10ft, it goes up 40%. Fuel economy when down when following even closer at 2ft. Obviously, 2 and 10ft is stupid...

Manchin returns to the negotiating table. https://www.axios.com/scoop-manchin-new-play-2cb59ff0-1577-44bf-81a4-a0d72b7e9be2.html

This is the kind of stuff I’m curious about. While the vast majority of my driving will be within 150 miles of my home, I will occasionally make trips from Denver to DFW and Louisiana. Historically, that’s when I’ve made the biggest attempts at maximizing my driving efficiency.

I wonder if the next gen Lightning will eliminate that transmission bulge.

SWEEEET!

If you haven’t driving an EV before, I highly recommend going to a Tesla store and giving one a go. They won’t bother pushing you to buy one at all. They may have the body gaps of a Yugo, but they are a heckuva lot of fun to drive.

I don't think the 12" has the video games..

Yea, you'd think they would get that up and running by now.

Just read mine..

Do any of y’all have experience with SunRun? I’ve given up on using Tesla for my solar install. Just curious if Sunrun is any good.

Agreed, the only thing I’d be looking for is frame mounting some rock sliders.
