I mean...

No, that would be her standard issue Defender. The teeth truck is the tour bus, probably.

Not only that, but this is also factually not true:

22! That’s for the last generation.

Surely the 330e is the better argument here, at $44,500. And it’s actually available in the US - quite unlike the GTE!

Seems a little unfair to compare this to the e-tron, which is a hasty conversion dating to the dieselgate era and which is a stopgap as the company awaits the full rollout of the MEB platform; or to the EQC, which is a hasty conversion that isn’t available in the US which is a stopgap as the company awaits the full…

It looks like the Renault Avantime mated with the Prius Prime, but in the best possible way.

But they’re not doing that either. Company executives are telling German media that they’ve been petitioning the company “for some time” that they need to make a dedicated electric car platform. BMW calling this the “power of choice” is effectively a rebuke of these internal efforts.

Honestly, when the electric future finally arrives, it’s hard to see any of the combustion cars of the current era becoming classics. Likely, only the cars we think of as classics now will remain so in the future. We’re too much in a liminal space right now where the cars aren’t really analogue enough to be thought of…

No, it doesn’t? It looks like every car dashboard since the mid-2000s plus a digital gauge cluster?

They would probably sooner export the electric HR-V. Especially now that China has relaxed its EV mandate.

This one costs $73,000. That’s well beyond the price of a Range Rover Sport - though yes, you are correct to say that I was using hyperbole to make a point. 

This thing is baffling. It’s as complex as a Range Rover, but it has the affect of a basic 4x4 so it’s nowhere near as nice inside. But it costs basically as much as one. And it looks like the old Freelander.

The way it moved away swiftly and decisvely right at the pivotal moment had me falling over myself laughing

Yes, precisely. I understand it because the electric car is still in its nascent stage and so the novel aspect is given outsized import, but a little more diversity is long overdue.

Yes, this is exactly how I feel. Cheap EVs are kind of dire right now, and not everything needs to have a monster range. In fact, it would probably be to this car’s detriment to have a bigger battery. In the same way that not every car would be improved with a more powerful engine.

Including incentives, the SE is cheaper than the base car in certain states.

In which Fancy Kristen finds fancy metal too fancy.

110 miles, per their estimate

I feel like car journo types are gasing them up. Car and Driver compared the Teluride to the NSX and the Lexus LS, for instance.
