It’s not an article it’s sponsored content, if that even matters...

You are technically correct.

So the M is slower and smaller than the Kia EV6 GT. And with one of the ugliest fronts on a BMW.

Well, the rebels *did* take the airports during the Revolutionary War...

Actually in Europe I believe the KIA cousin clocks in at just slightly HIGHER than the EV from Audi...

That’s because his goal was to sell off the IP or even the entire company at one point.

Don’t forget fourth - where you state you didn’t watch the video of CR running the tests over and over again at faster and faster speeds until it finally fails (including threats to fire staff if it doesn’t flip).

Yes I did, because I stopped reading at that point. Blanket statements like now that I have solar *then noting electric costs money to use* - should be amended to “Now that I paid a shite-ton of money for solar, I can begin to offset that huge outlay of cash with charging my vehicle with it...”

Thank you. At least you agree that it’s not “free to drive” as quoted in the article. And thanks for recognizing that to get those solar panels costs a bunch of money to get that “free” electricity.  So he paid to charge the car, just paid for it upfront for that “free” charging.

Meh - Not jealous. I myself have a pretty large solar array, but then again I have a pretty big home (6 bedrooms!). I don’t go around telling my friends that my electricity is free because of solar, as they are all smart enough to know that solar means that I either had a large expense I paid for it upfront or I’m…

Well, this is awkward...

No I didn’t. What they *meant* to say was that the *cost to charge* the leaf is now rolled into whatever he pays (or paid) for the solar. Just because you no longer see future bills to charge it, doesn’t mean it’s free and that upfront cost disappears. It just means that he paid up-front the cost to have the panels.…

It’s a common statement made by electric owners. Somehow having solar means you no longer pay to charge. They forget that the solar panels cost something to start with - so while they are charging for “free” - they paid for it up-front, still means they paid to charge the car (just not directly).

That Leaf that cost you $0 to drive - good thing you don’t have to pay registration. Or insurance. Or *lease payments*

Anyone who followed the whole Suzuki Sidekick issue with CR should know that when CR really wants to destroy a company (in order to get more subscriber money to build a new headquarters), they can do it.

The truth of the matter is that Tesla didn’t design their cars for it (they stick out like large lumps on those that aren’t designed for it). They look like afterthoughts at best or warts at worse.

Wasn’t there a case where the powdered sugar from a donut tested positive? They are laughably bad...

This thing and the Kia EV6 look like real winners and true competition to Tesla and other makers.

The whole issue will either become moot or EV will simply dominate the car culture.

It’s such a bad take. I had the newest version of the Passat before selling it back because of diesel-gate. I kept the Velcro trunk mat thinking I could drop it into my replacement 5 series. Nope, the 5 series trunk was like 2 feet too short. The Passat was the same size (other than width) to the Audi A8. It was huge!…
