It's up to the moderators, but maybe (?) we should consider a different thread-title. This makes it sound like GE (General Electric) makes vehicles, which, of course, it doesn't.

GE does, however, make a good line of appliances....washers, dryers, electric ranges, refrigerators, etc.... I have bought and used them for many years, and have generally been pleased with them.
I couldn't agree more. My mother still has her washer and dryer from the 80's that still work. I think my parents bought them around the time I was born, which was in 88.

My grandma still had her dishwasher and range that came with her house in 87 until one of her sons bought her a new dishwasher in 2019 and she still has her oven/range, both GE.

My mother still has the refrigerator that I grew up with. Must have bought it before I was born or at the latest, shortly after. It's in her shop (my dad, when he was alive, used it a bunch for making home brew and he would often have a keg in there) and still works fine. The seals are worn but it still keeps things cold and frozen.

Can't speak for the new stuff, but older GE appliances were built ridiculously well.

Investors are loving the Aston Martin deal, LCID was at a 52 week low since then it's gone on a nice run.




Mods please change thread title to General EV and Business Discussion Thread or General EV and Industry Discussion Thread

Lex, that looks too much like the Cybertruck.

Can they get in trouble for that?

Lucid can only survive as a company if it's a parts provider. Glad they realized that before it was too late and they ended up being Fisker 2.0.

Look at that belt! That's a sweet ride but the faux rust look is not for me.

Check this out, bunch of ICE cars wanting so bad to be invited to the EV party.

That's enough. No need to find some random twitter post with idiots taking up EV charging spots. That is not nearly indicative of the vast majority of us responsible ICE drivers.

Again, anything to put the EV owners in a group against ICE. Mods, I hope you notice this type of thing happening on this EV forum.

You need to lighten up.

Also, EV owners are not supposed to take up spots either unless they are charging which does happen. People can be jerks regardless of what they happen to drive.
