The best defense, it seems, is a cheap EV of our own.
No shit. Proving yet again that auto industry executives are complete morons waiting for another bailout.
Chevy has had a perfectly serviceable and low cost EV on the market for years. It’s possible to buy them new for $30,000 or less (before rebates) and used ones can be had for under $14,000.
It isn’t just about price or being an EV or the Leaf would be the best selling car in the world. People also want a car that isn’t a piece of junk with low resale value, is cramped, or has bad styling. These are big purchases and a lot more thought goes into buying them than two simple checkboxes.
You can’t have inexpensive and all the features you’re asking for though. It’s just not realistic.
I don’t want all the features I just want an EV with 300 miles of range, liquid cooling, and 20 minute charging… Automakers can shove their fancy computerized BS
I feel the same way about feature bloat on pickup trucks. I don’t need a tailgate that opens and closes itself, but it’s a mandatory add-on if you want to buy the extended battery for any F-150 lightning. Trucks are meant for work, not loading them up with luxury bullshit.
Trucks are meant for work
When I see the size of them and the pristine condition they are in, I seriously doubt it’s the case for most pick up owners.
Tell me about it. It’s ruined the truck market for those of us that need/want one for work/light duty.
