Neutral: Lizard brain. I do want an EV, but I just can’t shake this feeling that I’ll regret not buying a great sports car; and by that I mean something like a Boxster Spyder, 911 GTS, C8 Z06, etc. I’ve made it to where buying a car like that isn’t just a dream, but within my grasp; but the common sense and careful…

The ELR wasn’t a bad car. It was just overpriced.

An insane time, holy shit. Just another hypercar i will never see. 

Would it kill you to mention Glickenhaus? They’re in it after all, fielding 2 cars in LMH...

China’s first electric supercar?

And if you count he Bolt UEV as another model, then they sell 4, which is (checks notes) the exact same amount of models as Tesla.

“Right now there are only two: the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV”

“GM has plans to bring 30 new EVs to the market by 2024. Right now there are only two: the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV, so they better get a move on.”

I think GM is doing the whole EV thing right. They have a great CEO. She has spent a lifetime in the industry and probably has a more realistic idea of what it takes to rollout new platforms.  Their new EV platform was meant to be more easily updated as far as whatever future might happen with batteries and their form…

but can GM beat Hyundai? seems like they are doing a better job of taking on tesla. 

I hope she is right, even if GM only meets 50% target by 2025.

“Please just make one (1) affordable EV, GM. I’ll buy it, I promise.”

I think GM must’ve ruined his birthday at some point. 

He mentions the Bolt, and that it was recalled, though he elides that it was LG’s fault, of course. And does mention that GM wants to build their own batteries but doesn’t put together the why that may be the case.

“...which is really GM in a nutshell, being full of itself without having earned it.”

Lol wut?

I think his hatred for GM makes him blind to the car’s existence. For how much he loves his Fit, the Bolt is basically the Fit of the BEV word (assuming the updated battery packs are ironed out).

A counterpoint: I’m fine with the Crown becoming an SUV. I do like sedans, but they are not the most practical form factor, let’s be honest. If Toyota is able to distill what made the Crown so successful into a more practical and attractive form factor, what’s not to like? I do hope they actually call it the Crown…

I really don’t understand why this is so much worse than so many of the cars we claim to love on here.
