@KevinDegnanJr @itskyleconner Kevin - I cover autos for WSJ. Looking for an EV owner who's considering an upgrade to a 3-row EV (not much to choose from - yet). DM me if interested in sharing your thoughts?

@itskyleconner I plan to buy a Rivian R1S or Kia EV9 for my family one day (need 3 useable rows). I already have a Tesla Model 3 and love the convenience of the Supercharger network, and from what I've read everywhere, I don't feel comfortable at all about EA or other 3rd party chargers yet

Question for the CCS EV drivers in America. When Tesla opens up the supercharger network to CCS, will you be using them?

@TakeAimAndVote @elonmusk Hi @TakeAimAndVote ... I'm a autos reporter for the Wall St. Journal, writing about people who want an EV, but bought something else cuz of the long wait. Would like to hear more abt your Q5/Lightning decision. Reachable here or mike.colias@wsj.com Thx

@elonmusk My DH bought an Audi Q5 hybrid instead of a Tesla. We will wait for the Ford to ramp up production of the Lightning. #Elongate

The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech

These graphics tell the story of why car cos. are worried that few if any EVs would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit if the climate bill passes as written … great stuff from @naterattner wsj.com/articles/auto-…

@akovia1 Thanks. Would you be up for a quick interview on Monday either by phone or email? I'm looking to talk to prospective electric truck buyers for a story I'm writing on GM & Ford's EV strategies ... mike.colias@wsj.com wsj.com/news/author/mi…

@akovia1 Hi - I cover autos for WSJ. You still on rez list for those three EV trucks? If so I have questions ;-)

Ford CEO Jim Farley on 4Q earnings call says 10% of dealers have been charging above sticker price in this supply-crunched market ... and they'll be punished by being shipped fewer cars 👀

@Tweetermeyer @BenFoldy @kevinkrease @conorsen There were definitely a bunch of premium-looking models but I recall a Silverado-ish pickup + compact CUV from EV day...no?

@BenFoldy @kevinkrease @conorsen @MikeColias I remember thinking it made a ton of sense for GM to take a very premium approach to the near-term EV market, and the unabashedly upscale flavor of the EV Day lineup struck me as smart. Silverado and Equinox don't really fit that strategy though, and I wonder what changed.

I’m rooting for GM’s EV pivot to work but they don’t seem to have the buzz of Ford or Rivian in my circles.

GM says two factories in Michigan will be able to make 600K plug-in pickups, 1M EVs total by mid-decade. That's ... a lot 👀 Nice debut on the autos beat @NoraEckert wsj.com/articles/gm-pu… via @WSJ

@Boiler40 yep... unfortunately it went out w/ that inaccurate hed before an editor caught it & fixed it for most print editions.

For EVs to take off, the heartland needs more chargers. Putting them there requires a leap of faith. wsj.com/articles/the-b… via @WSJ
