[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 759735, member: 265"] Nice looking vehicles. But … a 757 bhp pickup truck? What for? I don't know how many people have $70K to blow on a pickup either. No question that electric vehicles will rule the roost directly, however. BMW is going to release their last internal combustion engines in 2026 and that seems to be right about when all the big manufacturers will do the same. I saw a story about the experimental assembly line BMW had set up. You know how they lower engines into chassis from above conveyor belts nowadays? On the new assembly line, the guy connecting engines has a supply of them on a bench behind him. He picks one up (it weighs 40 lbs), slides it into place, and connects it to the leads. No doubt they'll mechanize that, but maybe not. It's also much faster to assemble the cars; they only have about 1/6th the number of parts. There will be much weeping and wailing in the auto repair industry as a result of this. [/QUOTE]
