I think you are being a bit too harsh to GM ("fakeness" of the presentations notwithstanding - that _is_ both annoying and a kind of sad) for about their Cadillac Lyric - it is a brave leap to touch the "rich grandfather's" brand. As for stressing "skateboard" design, well, it _is_ new for Cadillac, and many electric SUVs and crossovers on the market, which are adaptations of ICE vehicles. Lyric is not.
Maybe, but I haven't shared all the details of what went down in GMs EV day. I mean a press event that only allows handwritten notes and even then only invited cherry picked journalists (this is no joke) it should indicate what I mean. It's a great step for GM but they are not yet serious about EVs.
@@cleantechnica I agree that "cloak and dagger" approach to a vehicle reveal is ridiculous. But take into account what you yourself noted: making the next new flagship _Cadillac_ an EV is utterly revolutionary to them. Besides, I like Bolt :o)
I would be curious as to the labor involved with the manufacturing of all of our electronics including any car I might buy in light of the Uighur Muslim situation. Of course investigative journalism is nearly impossible in China.
great channel.... you need more subscribers... maybe connect with one of the other channels that does similar content? Maybe?? Just a thought... Also you need some RNR all work and no play..... ;)
We have already had connections with Hyoerchange, Teslanomics and Solving the Money problem 😀 We are currently ramping up the news show, when we will have enough time each week to also do deep dives, interviews, exclusives, channel subscriber number should grow faster.
CleanTechnica I did a course with Video Creators this spring. It was amazing. If you are interested in doing a collaboration I would love to share a few ideas with you.
Yup its a mistake that slips through every now and then, I wrote it down correctly in the script, but when remembering lines during filming, the wrong thing comes out every now and then.
Well a comp my can IPO all they want, only how promising the company is and their Financials will drive investments. Though in the area of electric vehicles there are not thst many promising companies or startups in the US when it comes to EVs, I mean there is Tesla, Lucid Motors, Lordstown, where was Riviam based again? But these Chinese EV startups are some of the most interesting becuase they are not afraid to copy, not afraid to be different and can do a lot of things for a cheaper price.
As for "stolen autopilot code", X-pend auto parks flawlessly, while in Tesla it is a bad joke. Just saying... And isn't Tesla autopilot code supposed to run on their own magical chipset, not something subpar from newbies like Nvidia? Also, isn't the point of Tesla's Autopilot the enormous amount of real-world driving data to train their neural networks?
Yea, good points. Though beforentheir own SOC Tesla used Nvidia chips as well. Also if Xpemg stole anything, it's already quite out of date and stealing something fresher is not longer possible due to HW3.
BLACKVIEW USA The X-peng design looks just like a Tesla. Are you saying the design was independently developed, and by chance it ended up looking just like a Tesla? 😎 it looks like a copy to me.
Well on the one hand if it's something like a zombie apocalypse and tons of cars around, if you can jump start cars you have no problem (though risk setting off an alarm) an EV is also more silent, though you can always pump gas from other cars. In most apcalyse movies the only electricity left is either diesel generators or solar panels, both of which could charge an EV. But for those preparing for the apocalypse, you can live in the middle of nowhere with solar panels and be safe and Independent, not the case with gas cars and diesel generators.
Maybe, but you can charge your car from solar panels. Try doing that with an ICE... Drill well, build refinery, pour into car (all in your backyard) HUMBUG I say...
If the presenter had checked his facts, he would find that GM actually invented the skateboard battery design in 2002. See: www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2016/05/23/the-father-of-the-skateboard-chassis-dr-chris-borroni-bird/#5c5bf7087b30
Yes I see that my word choice should have been different, however coming up with a concept and actually mass producing it are 2 very very very different things. There are so many concepts and patents that never became anything, I don't know about you or others but unless it's a scientific breakthrough like a discovery, ubless it's that, I give credit to the company to actually use it in a product brought to market, preferably on a large scale, mass manufactured.
Thanks for quoting me Chanan!
