If you can’t back up your trite, sinophobic bigotry with links to support your toxic, media-fed assertions and anti-China hate-speech - I urge you to migrate to some other discussion board - preferably somewhere deep down in the cyber-sewer especially reserved for uneducated, bigoted xenophobes. With your extremely

Heresy time: sorry but Tesla’s Model 3 and Model S are boring, generic and barely S3XY to look at - but obviously can be to drive. The same is true of the Model X - which only looks eye-catching when its impractical falcon wing doors are up - which is why news articles always show the X wings-up and in open space - and

The usual absurdly disproportionate focus on ultra-long road-trips - with no reminder from the author that 80%-90% of journeys/trips are less than 30 miles and that most EV drivers are well-chuffed to be able to do most charging at home, at the workplace - and to have far more options than ICE die-hards/suckers who

Dear me...noone but a favor-owing, compromised journalist would buy the short-changing, short-range Mazda and not the Nissan Leaf which offers around 80% more realworld range for the same price. If the Mazda were $10,000 cheaper than the Leaf or the Soul then the author’s argument that most consumers/Americans buy

A ludicrous, insane, embarrassingly and ironically dumb, life-threatening flaw:   an emergency software update needs to be delivered ASAP - not just by Tesla.

It’s bizarre how many otherwise intelligent people - especially Germans - still can’t see how dumb the fuel cell alternative is. For the same reasons as twenty odd years ago. For starters you can’t charge up at home or at your workplace. You’re a slave to filling stations and their pricing whims & vagaries - just as

Good that Jalopnik is deviantly digging up fairly recent EV history to remind or rather wake up readers to the fact that no, no, no - this ain’t the “first time”, this ain’t the “first this”, the “first that” etc. But Jalopnik never dares to point out that the main reason that 99.99% of humans are ignorant about

The universal amnesia epidemic continues: see this 2018 headline. $23,000 electric “Wagen fur das Volk” teased by VW  more than THREE years ago ? Forgotten already, have we all ?

A far better swap logic than Better Place’s always-doomed venture - simply because you’re not having your battery pack swapped for someone else’s fully charged pack at a public swap-station.

Just like the eventually oxymoronically misnamed deterrently overpriced Smart - originally conceived by Swatch founder Nicholas Hayek as either pure electric or hybrid. I have never seen an electric Smart on any street anywhere in Europe. I see countless un-Smart gasoline “Smarts” - I always look optimistically hoping

So your average far-from cheap, all-singing, all-dancing, space-age, gimmick+feature-packed semi-autonomous etc EV couldn’t be fitted with an NiMH battery instead of a lead-acid battery !? Now in 2021 - 20-25+ years after the likes of the original RAV4 EV, GM EV1, Solectria Sunrise etc were entirely powered by NiMH ? A

Now playing

1997 US TV report: watch,er, “anti-American”(LoL) all-American kids and school teens going crazy for EVs at the US (un-American!?) Tour de Sol:

“EU fines VW and BMW £750m for Colluding with *Daimler* on Fumes”

Imperium will be setting a gloriously terrifying flood-gate-crashing precedent if they do miraculously succeed in producing price-busting, long-range, good-looking EVs including eSUVs. Many powerful US entities will be veritably sh**ting themselves.

So how’s about covering more should-have-been gamechanging taboo EVs that 99.999% of humans have,er, “mysteriously” never heard of - like the 4-seater, nearly-normal-looking Solectria Sunrise that achieved 375 miles on a single charge in 1996 and 217 miles a year later at normal highway speeds. It was co-developed

1) Predictably crap range - the van version of the Geely LEVC TX series hybrid London Black Cab is a far more versatile option. “Series hybrid” meaning: extended range - said scandalously under-reported Geely LEVC TX has a uniquely high pure EV mode of 70-80 miles. Scandalous still how almost zero “journalists” ever

Duh - the Dacia Spring is not new ! It’s one of the various alternative names for the Renault K-ZE that went on sale in China a year ago at the genuinely low price of $8700 after subsidies. Sure - the Dacia Spring will be slightly larger than the K-ZE and with a little more range - but why does Jalopnik state that

All reasons offered for not selling great low-cost China-only EVs elsewhere are empty excuses / insults to the intelligence. Period. This applies also to Renault’s great K-ZE compact electric SUV/crossover that sells for less than $10k in China after subsidies. Amusing how GM fog up and obfuscate what they’re

Shipping cost was how much ? Hope Chang Li will respond with a more powerful motor option(circa 3-4 hp ?) With all the free and positive global publicity Jalopnik have given them they’d be wise to heed the hint. And if they could offer it in Safari green or brown or Zebra black-white striped etc they’d be inundated,

Would you trust them more than the security procedures at...Fort Detrick, amigo?
