Thanks, my mistake. Isn't the US government involved with a charging system?

I think a bunch of money may be going to Tesla to build out supercharger sites, which if the Gov is going to spend on charging facilities Tesla will get it done and in a hurry and keep their 99+ % Up time on their chargers

Very Glad Electrify America did not get the big contract on this, may as well burn the cash in that case.

My point was Performance in power on the first year cars. The GTO was a in a whole different Power class than the Mustang

Mustang can take credit for the Pony car race.

The GTO started the Muscle car era.

A hard thing to do since GM banned anything making more than 1 hp per 10 LB because the US Government was going to break GM up over having such a large part of US vehicle sales. Delorean broke the rule but GM let it pass and because of that,
The GTO preceded every GM A Body performance or Ford and Chrysler intermediate Performance car that came after . That also qualifies as starting a Super Trend.

ps. Still think it was a mistake to name a 4 door EV SUV a Mustang.
Maybe should have been a New Futura

My point was what the Mustang did for Ford, and then you tried to twist to fit your narrative.

GM, Honda scrap plans to co-develop 'affordable' sub-$30,000 EVs

The cancellation by GM and Honda is the latest in a growing number of decisions by automakers to scale back or scrap previously announced EV plans.

I went back and re read posts and had missed your post 1061 .
Taking that into consideration I concede.

As for the strike and just my 2 cents.

The unions have got what seems to be a very fair deal now.
I hope they settle soon- before to much long term damage is done to the Big 3 and all the other suppliers, workers and businesses that are also affected.

Yea, Flex-N-Gate plants are laying off around us. Kentucky plant closing is getting the blame.

On my 800 mile return trip from Austin Texas ...The Tesla found its way to I-35 and had me back to Murray KY in 15.5 hours.

You keep saying this like it is something good. That 800 mile drive should take 13 hours and 20 minutes or less. Google maps says 12 hours and 36 minutes. Your car literally wasted 3 hours of your life and you are bragging about it.

I highly doubt you are ever going to convince a dyed in the wool EV’er that their precious technology is anything but efficient.

Just like paying all the environmental costs to manufacture EV, and then paying the carbon costs to convert Dino to electricity, and somehow all that magically becomes good for the environment

You know I wasn't bragging just stating facts.
It was a good thing that the FSD software enable me to do my job versus stand at home in Kentucky.
I had no one that could drive me on this trip.
It is good to have access to vehicle for travel solo.

Effingham factory closes at the same time that they just purchased Eagle Wings Industries in Rantoul.
