VW just showed off the new Atlas.

Explorer is not the oldest in the segment... that distinction belongs to Dodge Durango. But no doubt Ford is coasting on inertia and fleet sales.    Model / Model year intro Durango 2011 Atlas 2018 Ascent 2019 (already discontinued in Canada so probably not going to live on much longer in the US) Explorer 2020 Grand Cherokee 2021/2022 Pathfinder 2022 Pilot 2023 Grand Highlander 2024 CX-90 2024 Traverse 2024 (heavy update of C1XX introduced in 2018) Acadia 2024 (heavy update of C1XX introduced in 2018) Enclave 2025 (heavy update of C1XX introduced in 2018) Palisades 2026 (the previous gen was sold 2020-2025) Telluride 2027 (the previous gen was sold 2020-2026)   With the exception of Durango and Atlas (Ascent sells so little it is kind of irrelevant), all others are on a 6-7 year model cycle. The Hyundai twins got replaced in 5...   Ford probably should have done what GM did to Traverse/Acadia/Enclave and give the CD6 a complete refresh for 2027... but evidently that won't happen until 2030 at the earliest. 

$3.99 87 E10, $4.79-5.19 91 E0 no change from last week; a whole week with constant prices! Wow, lol!

For the most part, that is true and depending on local regulations like Australia has, PHEVs are now becoming the go to for meeting gov regulations and people wanting to escape high gas and diesel prices……in the US maybe not so much   in the last four months of Aussie car sales, BYD has gone from 5th to 2nd behind Toyota, so we’re hanging out for May Sales results to see if the Chinese brands keep surging. Should be out Friday but all the legacy brands are getting real worried…

If you haven’t run the electrical for the charger yet, consider running wiring for 100A capacity (80 A charger) for future. That’s what we did for ours. Put in a 60A breaker and 48A charger for now, but have the ability to easily upsize for future larger capacity EV truck.

My parents were the typical boomer anti-EV sharing those stupid memes not based in reality on FB, one ride in our new Model Y changed their minds (the self driving and acceleration they've never experienced). I don't understand why it has to be political or your whole personality to have ICE, BEV are the answer in most use cases. I just bought a 7.3 gas superduty for my work truck because there isn't an answer for 3/4-1 ton trucks in battery yet, but if I didn't have to pull a trailer every day I'd be in a cybertruck most likely. We were worried about the charging stuff for her too, but it's a non issue. I haven't even installed the 240 house charger yet, she's been charging on 120 and been fine and if not just stop at a supercharger for a few minutes and watch youtube on the screen while you get the juice.
