not at all true.  Take a look at leaf and i3 depreciation.  it has little to nothing to do with subsidies

These are quite nice looking in person especially in a metallic color

yes but its only an option for the wealthy it does nothing to help those who cant already afford a $40k car

used EVs are all over the place and very cheap. but low income individuals cant purchase them because apartment complexes dont yet have chargers.  and they would need less range if workplaces had chargers 

subsidizing new EVs is not a cost effective way to push adoption.  What we should be doing instead is investing in charging infrastructure and giving businesses and appartment complexes incentives for installing chargers.  i could also see a value in giving vouchers for rental cars for road trips as a way to spend…

thats what makes it better it now looks like a well designed hatchback instead of a hideous wannabe SUV
compare that to stock YUCK

these look SO SO much better without the silver cladding

suppose he DOES drive 900 miles a week. Thats 128miles a day. He could get by driving just about any electric car on the market today as most have 200-250 miles of range. Then he can save about $12k on fuel

Nope not going to switch back to check out if it still sucks. I do know friends who continually have issues many of the same i had back then. like constant disconnection. Sure its prob better now but android auto is also

Android auto in 2017 was vastly superior to carplay in 2017 and its only gotten better. it would have sucked to wait 4 years for carplay to catch up to where android auto was in 2017

carplay has closed the gap but i certainly enjoyed having in 2017 a version of android auto thats as good or better than carplay is 4 years later.  Android auto has only gotten better and more stable since then.  I dont plan to switch back to apple just to see if they finally fixed the enormous numbers of bugs they…

personally i think it looks pretty good but would look a lot better without the grooves and edging in the silver parts and if those parts were body color. this makes it look especially bad in any color other than silver or maybe white

for instance it looks like this in black

this was my experience too and why i switched to android auto

Ive used both car play and android auto. Android auto is far superior. expecially when compared to first iteration car play which was a buggy pile of crap. I switched from carplay to android auto in 2017 even switched platforms because it was so much better. carplay would constantly disconnect and reject most cables…

I once went on a road trip in the back of a Toyota Paseo im 6ft tall

Risky Business

once the lotus Emira is on sale there will effectively be only one pretty car for sale, in my mind (certainly in the under $100k category)

If you took this formula, made it lighter and lower and gave it a unique but unoffensive look and a manual you’d have the Toyota Matrix. Its sad they no longer make that car. it was ahead of its time and a great option.

youd get the same results if you compared a 911 GT3 to an Audi RS7.  the larger heavier luxury cruiser will always be less fun

another reason to wear a mask at the gas station. id hate to breathe that stuff in
