Doesn’t reflect my personality. They can keep that crap!

Agreed. Carburetors and a 4 speed reflect my personality. We are going to the Auto Show next week. I'll look at the modern day muscle cars and the trucks. And then off to little Italy for dinner.

 

[Hickster]

Yack, yack, yack. She didn't spruce my goose.

What people fail to see is the future of the six engine with a big electric motor ZF 8 speed transmission and real AWD that will beat a Tesla Plaid......

 

[Speedy!]

So, I like the looks of it a lot better than the boring Tesla models that just look like a manila folder. I like the back a lot better than the front, and I like the modern spin on the Chrysler logo.

However, where I start to get concerned, is it's sounding more and more like they're trying to make these entertainment/meeting/life style products. You're driving a car, you shouldn't be watching movies or having video conference calls. And you can FORGET me letting a car drive me around. I need to be in control of the vehicle.

If this is what people are moving toward, why offer cars at all? Offer a "mobility service" where someone drives you, or the car does it for you, whatever, and you can watch a movie, play games, have meetings, whatever you wanna do that is everything but focusing on piloting a 2 ton missile down the road.

People already have a hard enough time with just a cell phone in the car with them.

And it's a pet peeve of mine for them to sell this as "clean mobility". Is it really? I'd love to see some stats on that considering you still have batteries that must be produced and disposed of, rubber tires, brakes, paint, steel, assembly and all that goes with it. Not to mention all the nickel that gets mined to make the batteries. I recently saw a news report on the danger to the tropical rain forest in Peru due to Tesla asking to expand nickel mines in that region. When taking all of that in to consideration, how different is the foot print to the planet for EV vs ICE over say a 7 year ownership period?

Yawn...battery tech. is evolving/improving so fast that todays E.V.’s will be boat anchors on used car lots in no time.

 

[HWDan]

Manufacturers try to make people think EV's are built in fields of daisies with running antelope and surrounded by wetlands teaming with fish.

The reality is that the green in EV's is about on par with the green in moldy bread.

 

[Hickster]

They are built in 1st and 3rd world countries that could care less about the environment. Disposal fees for these batteries are going to be $$$$. Reep what you vote fer.

If your dream is to be able to drive an iPhone, this this the car for you.

[Prange]

They also like liver and onions...and tofu....

Needs to have a gym option.. That way you can get a workout in while it drives you around. I can see the steering wheel converting to a curl bar/press and the pedals convert to stationery bike or leg press..

.... A joke about lengths these folks will go to make it more about everything else.. less about driving
