Sure.  As soon as I can drive 300 or 400 miles, stop for 5 minutes, and go for another 300 miles then I will.   I'm fascinated by electric vehicles, but the infrastructure has a long ways to

I love forums. You guys are a riot.   To answer the OP's question, and because I feel everyone is entitled to my opinion (that's a joke), I would consider an electric vehicle when the initia

The thing that I don't understand is that being from a cold climate area they tell us that during the supper hours to not turn on stoves, dryers, dishwashers etc or it may cause a brown out. How in the hell are we going to have streets of electric cars and trucks plugged in. At least currently (sorry Bad pun) we don't have the infrastructure to support electrics. Just what we need is more ugly wind mills and power towers running all over the damn place!

I'm sure that Greta Thunberg has all the answers.

Someone will eventually invent the flux-compensator and all is good.

Not even if it outperforms your current vehicle in 0-70 braking, handling and best of all gets 500 miles between each charge?

 

I can go 600 miles on a tank now. 500 is going backwards.

I’d still go with a badass electric beast getting 500 miles on a single charge versus 600 or 700 miles per tank. No oil change, lighter, lots faster. I’ve talked myself into getting one, just don’t have any beast trucks out yet lol

And?

The point of electric over gas/diesel is beneficial for the environment and lots more efficient.

Nothing out there I’d want as of right now, if there was, I’d own it [emoji6]

Lithium Ion battery production is good for the environment? LOL Talk about toxic waste.


Petroleum and coal manufacturing is enormously worse. OP asked if anyone would buy one, my response was yes, as long as I got my beast electric truck that does what mine does only more efficiently. I agree, batteries aren’t highly toxic but I was taking about harnessing the atmospheric electricity that’s always around us. Wouldn’t need to charge it unless it was an added boost up the mountain lol

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
