This is sad. It will be interesting to see when the official cutoff happens in production at the plant... and how guys like me fair in the process...
When there was a stop sell on GT3s a few years back, by car was built and put on a shelf in Germany. By the time they got to it to replace the engine, the next model year GT3s were already arriving in the states. That was a bit frustrating to be receiving a MY2013 when others were getting a MY2014. O well, it was still a great car and enjoyed every minute of it.

High power gas engines are going to be a thing of the past within the next decade. We will be on to the next major environmental issue... how to dispose of used batteries...
Thats what everyone said 10 years ago too

Then there was a Republican President for four years and a couple of oil price wars.
The advancement in battery technology is exponential right now as well.
True... I’m just too old to care.... I live too rural so EV won’t ever make sense.... but can’t stop progress can we... Cheers

Same here, there's not an EV charging station within 45 miles of me and to top it off, electric rates are high and our power company Central Maine Power was voted worst in the country!
Not only that the destruction of habitat is horrible when you mine for lithium! There is nothing on this planet that is as energy dense as a barrel of oil! This electric revolution is going to do little less then make a few people very rich (Al Gore), but as far as "saving the planet" or "saving the human species" its a load of horse shit! Sure driving really fast golfcarts is fun and I've said it before there's definitely a market for them but the "environmental foot print" is pre-built into the car.

Like this is crazy. I'm hearing a couple people telling me the same story about getting a '21 in September!
I’ve dr
iven a Tesla model s p90 quite a bit. I can’t get used to a car that sounds like a computer
Once the electrics are demonstrably superior I might consider it but I have yet to see an electric road car that can run a few hot laps on track without overheating

I'm hoping RAM is smart enough to prioritize parts for all roughly 3,000 builds that were in the first round of allocations before
AND the majority of our electricity is generated by NUCLEAR power plants which is by far the cleanest and safest (as measured by deaths per kilowatt hour produced) way to produce energy known to man
Until then I will be driving and fixing my TRX (if I ever get it) for at least the next 25-30 years so long as they still sell gasoline and replacement parts...
I'll be on board buying and driving an EV when they develop and implement solid state batteries that are cheaper lighter and can get an 80% charge in 5-10 minutes (the technology already exists small scale they are just trying to figure out how to mass produce it Toyota I think is the closest)

WRONG! Oil and natural gas are king! (At least for now). Gas is a very clean and efficient power producer and we have more of it than anyone in the world!

I didn't say the majority is produced by Nuclear I said I wouldn't buy an EV UNLESS Nuclear is the majority means of electricity production. You just enforced my point that it is useless to buy an EV to be greener while Fossil fuels are the main way electricity is generated

Lol! Back when SNL Was funny, Haven’t watched television in 4-5 Years. I’d rather watch a couple of Barn swallows chase mosquitoes! (TRUE STORY)
I work at Subaru in Indiana. We’ve been dealing with parts shortages since we shut down for covid last March. They project daily numbers, but it seems by last break, they have adjusted numbers due to low parts inventory. They canceled Saturday production from October 2020 until March 2021 for parts shortage. Everyday is a struggle to run the lines due to covid exposures. If you are exposed, you’re automatically off 10 days. I’m in maintenance, and tested positive January 1. I don’t go back until January 25. There are a lot of people out at one time due to exposure. Then, it’s at least 10 days. Hard to build cars like this, but we manage. With delays.
