Thank you. Couldn’t have said it better myself. This is Mazda marketing guff, and really not a strong case for the future of the ICE at all, given the rapidly evolving energy supply infrastructure in the largest automotive markets, and particularly those where EVs are popular.

While the “components” you mention are certainly helpful, I’m not sure that a new company absolutely NEEDS to have the mix you mention. More important than a charismatic CEO for instance is a brand story that potential customers can relate to. People didn’t buy the first Teslas because they idolized Elon Musk at that…

Transportation tunnels to help people get around cities faster? Radical idea, Elon!

Given the Tesla Model S was the ONLY large luxury car to increase in sales in the US in 2015 (and by quite a significant amount), while every other large luxury model decreased in sales... I’d imagine those tech types aren’t overly concerned anymore with ‘understanding the auto industry’. They do have good money,…

Well, you’ll probably have to wait about 5 years if you’re interested in a 200 mile EV but you think 30k is too expensive for a car.

Pretty damn nice if it’s for real - a 4-door luxury hatch would be a good matchup against the A7. Volvo have been doing some outstanding concept designs the last few years, so if this comes to pass, along with the XC90, it’ll help reinforce their claim to a position among the elite Euros.

Well it IS winter down under right now. As for the scarf - he just looks like your average European in cool weather.
