Why you gotta mention Westminster when talking about VinFast? I bet it was coming from a Pho restaurant on it's way to blk dot coffee right?

- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Can't wait for this car. I'll be moving from my Taycan to the Macan EV. My guess is that allocations will drop in the US in the second half of 2024 and the first deliveries will be early 2025.
is that one of the lingerie coffee bars? That was a key innovation coming out of Westminster!!
More pricing info just came out

Equinox... later and more expensive:
electrek.co
So the Great EV Slowdown is underway and GM just announced updated pricing and timelines on the Bolt replacement (as in low cost EV) and it's not really that cheap.
Starting around $49l (or $100k if you are using morekaos math) and not out until early next year (as opposed to now).
The cheaper around $30k Equinox will be around $35k and not out until end of 2024 but will have ~320 range. So maybe that delay will help them get better battery tech.

Toyota teasing the EV crowd with more vaporware.... the EV Landcruiser in 2 forms:
I appreciate the strategy, the top one is a more compact, cheaper local driver for active people and the lower one is a high-mile range luxury 3-row model.
2 segments that are moneymakers right now.

The article referenced extensive testing, but zip about cold weather tests and impacts to the battery range. 99.9 pct of RR's never see off road use, so heralding it's "wading" capabilities doesn't inspire confidence in the product just yet. If the English can build a reliable off road capable EV, I'd consider one, providing it's not just a reworked Hummer EV.

Looks like GM is reversing strategy (at least on the Equinox) and releasing the cheaper version first at $35k:
www.autoevolution.com
Tesla is forcing everyone's hand on this as Rivian will be releasing a $40k R2S and Volvo's sub-$40k EX-30 is coming out soon. Additionally, China's BYD is looking to enter the US EV market at the lower end rather than the high end like Lucid and Rivian did.
This will be interesting.
