I am Gen X, and have never used any of the things in this meme except solid. Iunno where u you ou grew up but that is not Gen X.

We need this in Canada. The amount of distracted driving I see on a daily basis is of epidemic proportions. People can’t stay off their phone and won’t unless something drastic happens. It’s beyond frustrating when someone at the front of the queue for a light isn’t paying attention and wastes valuable advance green turn signal time.

Mississauga has a lot of inept people in traffic control, stop lights are everywhere, and a lot of them only allow left turns for a brief period.

The data shouldn’t go anywhere, wall it off so that it can’t leave the car. Whimsical fantasy I know, but that is what I’d like to see.

None of your comparators are a truck though, if just looking for an EV I agree with you.

A truck is not needed by a lot of people, but when you need one, you need one.

Ford screwed up royally, the Lighting was way to overpriced, over complicated, and soiled the market. Ford’s dealers are also heavily to blame, asking well above msrp prices due to initial interest.

For the life of me I don’t know why we don’t develop something like this in Canada. It’s so frustrating, we have the people, the manufacturing space, the materials, we could do this.

Whenever something about Canada making vehicles gets brought up, all the nay sayers climb on immediately saying how it can’t be done. I’m sick and tired of them. Nothing worth doing comes easy, if left to these naysayers we’d all be still living in squalor.

We need to move away from the U.S. entanglement, the American public can’t be trusted to elect a proper government.

Building our own low cost, modest feature vehicles would be an excellent start. How many features of a car do people use for a normal commute to work, or such? I’d love a truck like the Slate, except it has to have 4 wheel drive ability. After having Hondas with all wheel drive, I’ll never go back to an older 2 wheel drive vehicle.
