Dudes ride tires not big wheels anymore
GMC just bushed Elon and his Tesla truck with the new electric Hummer.

The charging stations give them the edge right now, they have to make their cars more eye candy, especially the truck.
shyt is the Special Olympics version of the Humvee

Akrassikauda = Black Scorpion

Problem right now is range on all these vehicles. If they "say" 200 mi, assume real world that'll be 60% of that. The best use for electric vehicles are low mileage fleet vehicles or a family's second commuter car (daddy drives the EV, momma can take the gas minivan).
I watched a couple videos on real world performance, Tesla has the best network but even with that getting recharged is a chore. These cars need either better range or something like an onboard electric generator you can use to burn gas to recharge (probably less complexity than dual engines).
Yeah EVs handle 90% of your driving well enough, but cars are expensive and that other 10% is a show stopper.

If you look at the specs it seems overpriced

just saw it's like $120,000 for the first models
not a Tesla killer at all
you can buy a roadster for that price by the time this comes out

I'mma go for the f150 lighting
Of course, but I'm talking the legacy American brands that have weak R&D and been putting out the same wack ass vehicles for years. Ford, Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Ram, Dodge, Jeep, Lincoln, and Chrysler. They had all the money and infrastructure and still let a new upstart company take the lead in the electric vehicle market. Them old dinosaur companies are gonna do the same trash jobs they've been doing all these years, just with electric engines
I mean, yeah you can count on the American legacy manufacturers to fuk up with their products but the only advantage they’ll have over Tesla is variety of product. Tesla doesn’t have a pure off-road vehicle nor a more “rugged-look” suv that everyone craves now (not yet at least), but that’ll be easy for Elon. However with Jeep already doing a Hybrid Wrangler and eventually electric Wrangler, Ford doing an electric Bronco/Lightning/Mustang, GM working in whatever, there’s going to be a choice for everyone’s taste.
But @BigMoneyGrip was right on the big 3 trying to stop Tesla...think the Tucker automobile. They don’t like small upstarts innovating like that and shaking up the system. The dealers were really going for his neck with that direct to customers sales shyt...
The Chinese are engineering battery swap stations for their EVs. I figured this would’ve been a great direction to take for the big 3 automakers if they would’ve invested in the infrastructure. Just think, a new battery pack amd full range in the time it takes to pump gas.
Nio has now done two million electric car battery swaps

Biggest issue with these types of whips vs the Tesla’s is the charging stations. Tesla has that on lock.
