Forget about the ticks, rattles, and creaks, the 2035 Mustang is gonna have the Coil Whine.

Agreed, but in some states the regulations are just plain stupid. In NY, your solar is attached to the grid sure. But if power goes out, your power goes out as well. Because they make you tie it to the grid. Net metering only works in favor of the power company. Off-grid installs are the...

Like I said before the "diligent commuter" usage case. I could also see a scenario where you actually CAN'T recharge from home. Imagine a 70's style gas shortage, except for electricity. Sorry, you can only draw from the grid on Tuesdays. If we don't beef up our grid capacity (especially at...

Assuming you always find a supercharger, and assuming no on is using it. At most an ICE vehicle is at the pump a few minutes. There are also enough stations around that if one is busy, you can just go to the next one (which might even be across the street in some areas). The same can't be...

Just time the gas part. As you said, the card transaction part will be a wash.

I have the NFC chip in my card. It read faster than you can say "blee-bloop". Any station I go to fills a gallon in about 10 seconds. Yes, I do a quick count while I'm at the pump because I'm obsessive. I don't let the car below half a tank unless I'm going long distance on a highway. 8...

I was more saying that not all Mustang EV models will be in the $70-100k price range. And with advancing technology, a future EV won't need 900 HP to beat out an equivalent 900 HP ICE car. It all comes down to the batteries, as always. Get them lighter, faster charging, AND not degrade over...

Better comparison would be a Model 3 Tesla, which starts at $38k. That's 450HP (estimated) for near enough the same price of the GT. Plus, the Tesla has more creature comforts standard that are in the Premium Mustang trim. With economies of scale, shared platforms, etc., I could see an...

Mom, get off the line! How about the "Save" icon being a floppy disk?

Dude, number 3 hurts me.

What's a land-line?

These are so fucking cool.

But where are the slots in the roads? Something doesn't add up here. Maybe it's a European thing.

Slot cars?!

Gross bro. I don't want fake engine sound, in anything. And based on the Cobra Jet 1400 Forumal-E, etc., high-performance electrics can sound absolutely insane. Shit seriously sounds like Star Wars, not real life.

Don't be ridiculous. There won't even be a Camaro if GM has to spend R&D money on an EV platform.

Well, if you're a manual driver, you can use your smug sense of superiority to keep you warm at night. Us automatic drivers need to drink until we can't feel feelings :cwl:

Part of it is also a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you stop making cars and push crossovers in marketing/at dealerships, of course more people are going to buy them. Say what you will about the Camry, but Toyota moves half a million of them a year. Obviously there is a market for sedans. But...

They just might not have been paying attention at GM headquarters. They seem to forget about their brands every so often :facepalm:
