Never been a big fan of GM, but damn this thing looks promising.

Can't wait to see what the RAM Revolution looks like the following year.

Yeah between that Silverado and the F-150 Lightning, I'm interested. I don't love the C-pillar styling on that Silverado though. Maybe it'll look better in person and I'm sure it helps with the aerodynamics to improve range, but I just don't love the way it looks. Never cared for that Avalanche sytling.

This however, is definitely worth a second glance.

I think the best way to overcome this decades old problem of dependency on oil is for us to... <checks notes> ...drill for more oil.

Drove by 3.99 down here in Houston (regular unleaded, Kroger). It's going to cross the $4 for sure, can only imagine what it is for the more expensive parts of the country. Really hopes this drives people to electric, anyone see the VW electric bus?

I had it on my watchlist for EV's i would be interested in, except they went full subaru on it where the production version doesnt look or has the same appeal as the concept. The styling cues are there but it just doesnt project the same appeal.

The concept looked like a throwback hippie van, but this production version looks just like a regular minivan.....

Now it just looks like a more rounded/reskinned Volkswagen T7 Transporter van (which is a Europe only VW generic van).....

That's too bad. I remember as a kid we had one of those VW popup campers. Even had a little water faucet inside!
 
I don't drive a lot (I put 1,903 miles on it in almost 6 months), but here are my charging costs for my Tesla Model 3 Performance over the last 31 days:

I'm currently showing 133 miles of range so it will be a couple of days before I plug it in.
 
I only drive about 300 miles a month and that's still less than 1/2 what I spent last month and I drive an econobox Corolla and gas was .50 cents cheaper than it is now. Ford and others should be making commercials up the wazoo about how much their electric vehicles will save on gas and how some of that comes from American made photons, wind and dams.
 
Be cool if they brought back bowed windows in the read corners. The van concept is severely under developed by the suv obsessed carmakers so any addition is welcome.
