Electric Vehicles?

How is Tesla fit and finish these days compared to other similar EVs? About 4 years ago a local body shop told me that they had to undo and redo all the interior panels and few doors in the three factory new Teslas they owned in their family.

GM is having their best year ever for EVs with the Lyric and the Equinox and the Blazer. The Silverado is too new and too expensive. They are FAR from selling the numbers of Tesla though. When the refresh model Y comes out, Tesla will sell a lot more too.

I think I read somewhere Honda and Acura are using the Lyric platform for their Prologue and ZDX models respectively.

That is correct. I originally thought it was reported that it was the Bolt platform. Since that car was discontinued, I believe it is the Blazer/Lyriq platform. The smaller Equinox might still use a version of that Bolt platform. Seeing the Prologue and Lyriq on the road here, you can tell, because they are all physically about the same size. I am seeing a lot more Lyriqs around there these days; far more than the Blazer. It looks pretty nice in person.

We had the Emporia level 2 charger installed this past week. We did our first charge to 100% from about 30% in just about 5 hours. Most charging will be done at the EA charging station but the convenience of home charging is very nice.
