Speaking of trucks. Ram dropped the 1500 Revolution EV concept yesterday. Violates my "no instrument cluster, no thanks" rule, but it does have some interesting features like passthrough from the front trunk and fully configurable seats, including 3rd row jump seats.

That's because to get to market first, Ford took an F150 and stuck an electric drive-train in it. So far, of the ones I've seen, I lean towards the Silverado, even though it still has that "space truck" look to it, probably because it is mainly a toned-down Hummer meets Avalanche.
I have a reservation for Silverado, but given the one I want (the WT version not the $110K RST) won't be available in the near future who knows if I'll follow through with it. The biggest thing GM has going for it for me is they have steered away from the "iPad look" and are staying with a more conventional cockpit.

the new rambox really interests me, the passthrough frunk is confusing given the bulky center console design

Looks like Tesla just dropped it's pricing significantly across the board, as much as $13,000 or more on some models.

I've quit giving Tesla drivers the bird whenever I see them.
It used to drive them nuts, but now everyone is doing it.

Yea, just for grins I went to their site and there were dozens of vehicles available for delivery within 200 miles of me so looks like they are having an inventory reduction sale. Of course this is more a price correction than a decrease, given how they have raised prices over the last two years.

Interesting if not 100% accurate. Seems heavily tilted towards Tesla, with things like Tesla having "higher quality components" and while talking about how much Tesla makes per car, it fails to mention that the main reason for the difference is the lack of a dealer network so Tesla gets all profit from the end sale, Toyota only gets wholesale profit.

Engine mfg plants are expensive to tool and operate. These guys don't give a shit about thunberg (they shouldn't). It's all about the numbers.
