Saw one 1-2 weeks ago on the 407 between Milton and Mississauga. It was heading East.
The entire bumper was lit up with its wide headlight. I suspected that that's what it was from a far distance. Once we got closer, it confirmed it.
Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

On the upside, we now know that ~12,000 cybertrucks have left the factory.
Well this seems like good news. I didn't even know that RIVIAN and VW were joined in any way.
Fear the Wiper.
But not the bed trim. That's for the people behind you to fear.

Also, some trim pieces might fall off, but they're going to fix that, too.

I didn't see that coming, but the connection makes a whole lot of sense.
For sure. Why do the R&D + tooling on stuff like wishbones, sway bars, switches, heater cores, etc. when you can retrofit OEM outsourced parts that already meet any required standards?
Thing is, all of that is already in production for the Rivian R1 platform, and the R2 platform has already been engineered and probably (I don't know for sure) uses similar architecture to the R1 only smaller, and it isn't at all similar to how VW does things. What has become apparent, is that VW's own EV platform is underwhelming. The tie-up between these companies brings options. They could build smaller and lower-powered EVs using VW's platform and the bigger and heavier and higher-performance vehicles with Rivian's platform, for example.
VW's similar architecture and components all the way from the ID3 (Golf-sized) to the ID7 (Passat) and ID Buzz probably means the ID3 weighs more than it should while the ID7 and ID Buzz are underpowered ... and the ID3 is still slow(ish) because there's no room for a front drivetrain.

Do you think there's a chance of the "RAM Revolution" concept truck seeing production?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch to an electric RAM in a year or two, but I'm kinda hoping this concept truck comes to life. The new RAM electric trucks look nice, but this thing is next level!

Ford CEO Jim Farley posts an insightful ode to electric vehicles as a 'lifelong petrol head'
Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley recently posted an opinion piece to social media, sharing a fresh and inspiring perspective...

Confessions from a lifelong Petrol Head. I love electric vehicles and it has nothing to do with politics.
The rumble of a V-8 feels like the soundtrack of my life. So as a lifelong petrol head, I was surprised as anyone when I fell in love with electric vehicles.

This is what I want, everything is a dammed crossover or bigger. Give me hatchbacks, sedans & wagons all day. I don't buy expensive cars get the price down sub 35k/30k and I'm all in when it come time to replace my ICE vehicles, esp. as a second commuter car.
Ditto. EV for the grocery getter and ICE for the long hauls until the wishful thinkers and BS artists get their acts together on charging, ethical global material sourcing and disposal.
Throw in economics. Does a prospective home owner want to put an extra $20,000 into a depreciating asset that may or not get him / her to work with a 100 km commute or do they want a more affordable less mortgaged home?

While they are hopeless turds, for that price I would have one too. Add the lease protection for marks and dings and give it to the kids as their vehicle. Not cool, not big, not fast just cheap.I'd take this deal if it was in the GTA...

It's literally cheaper than getting a pedal bike.
