Update: We just tied the Mustang GTD. By my count, Jay released 387 videos over the last 13 years. We are at number 145, having surpassed 242 videos in 1 week. Almost all of the videos with more views are many years old. Sure seems like a LOT of people are interested in this truck.

article on first car with new CATL sodium ion batteries. https://insideevs.com/news/786509/catl-changan-worlds-first-sodium-ion-battery-ev/

I just did some quick scrolling on Jay's channel. The only feature video he's put out within the last year that is still ahead of the slate in views is the Mustang GTD with 1.8 million and I bet the slate surpasses that. That's roughly 60 something videos. This vid is doing way better than...

Yes, and I'm famous for it in my Solstice/Sky club. I put in an aftermarket head unit and lost all the audible warning sounds because GM built them into the stock head unit. On our trips to the hill country and Arkansas there were actual bets placed on how many miles I would drive with my...

I'd like to point out that the panels which look like crap on all the beta prototypes including this one, are fiberglass, not the plastic composite panels that will be on the production prototypes. If they're injection molded I'm guessing they'll be more consistent.

I couldn't stop yelling, "TURN OFF YOUR DAMN BLINKER JAY!!"

I will be by the channel. Even if we don't learn anything new, I just look forward to getting Jay's take on it. (unless he hates it of course)

I'm definitely looking to go 80's vibe. That's the wheel/tire combo I'm going with when the original tires wear out. Been researching 80's S-10 blazer and Bronco II paint schemes and colors.

Nice little blog story about what it's going to take to create the next big american EV brand. https://www.creativebloq.com/design/branding/american-car-brand

I would love baby moons. Had em on my 69 C-10

WOOHOO! I finally get to see one! Love that look. Hard to tell from pic but reminds me of a root beer color someone had a long time ago, maybe Dodge? And those side rails are sweet. I did this on Grok a while back while thinking about how everyone was putting slotted chrome grills on...

My Maverick hybrid has the noise maker up front, 0-20 mph. Then in reverse it makes the construction beep backup noise. My problem with it is it uses the front speaker. Needs to be in the back for backing up.

Nice writeup about the town and it's relationship with slate https://www.newsweek.com/midwest-industrial-ev-powerhouse-11373949

The last time I drove on a dirt road was when I took a wrong turn in Arkansas in 2007. And I would never venture out on snow in Dallas. These drivers are morons.

When I was 16 and got my first car, a 10 year old bug, I spent almost as much time lusting after every accessory in the JC Whitney catalog as I did reading Playboy.

Hello Morin! I'm thrilled that someone actually saw that blog! After my google alert started sending me a zillion "battery breakthough" articles every day I figured most people interested were probably seeing the same stuff I was and I stopped posting. So glad someone remembers it.

I agree. This is just a sophomore slump. The incentives allowed the oems to get lazy and make expensive cars instead of trying to sell something to the masses. Now we've got Ford suddenly switching to a 30K truck and the slate coming, and the new bolts and leafs and who knows what's next. I...
