Never seen a harder attempt to distract from the question ofc class and reduce it to hypotheses of the individual

Dude. Just.. as a long-long time EV advocate, before Elon had any internet/iron man fame and fandom, you just have to step aside and not have yourself used to protect a for profit company; be it Tesla, Nissan, GM, Ford or otherwise. It helps.

Highway driving is second to charging that causes the battery to heat up. Under 60mph actually cools it as the engineering intended

Fantastic idea šŸ‘€ā¤ļø

I would consider myself completely stupid if I didn't go for a RAV4 Prime and an older, affordable RAV4 hybrid.Ā 

You've a better chance of Mitsubishi bringing back the i-MiEV in the statesĀ 

The current Polo now is bigger than a Golf from 2005

It was a half assed attempt alright, the sooth the fears of first time buyers before 2016. . .

I think thatā€™s what some call a ā€œglobal marketā€ design. Such as giant emotive headlights. Letā€™s not forget that GM has a history with Deawoo from Korea, who sold the Deawoo/Chevrolet Matiz for many years. The last sold in Europe were petrol engined Sparks.

The SparkEV and Fiat 500e are definitely forbidden fruits that we missed out here in Europe. And the Volt too. Only a few were imported, while the Detroit built Opel/Vauxhall variants of the Volt and Bolt (before PSA's acquisition) were crushed by customs fees.

ā‚¬30,000 is affordable for a small car?Ā On the other hand, I remember how Mini captures the posh bougie market well.Ā 

And itā€™s absolutely massive if you see one in person, especially beside an Up!, a Fiat Panda, Opel Adam or a 2000s VW Polo, etc. Iā€™m fully aware how market pressures for every growing cars and safety regulations on said market are the reason why. The Honda e's drivetrain and cabin layout is quite similar to the rearā€¦

Well, thatā€™s to say if drivers of one nation frequent train collisions more than others with semi-fast rail lines. Not all railroad crossing barriers are the same, some are built like gates that touch the floor and cross the entire width of the tarmac,Ā others like the USā€™s are like automatic limbo poles.

How long has Ford and Toyota for that matter made us wait decades for a hybrid utility vehicle? Especially in Europe with small displacement, clapped out turbo diesels. This should not been hard to do without PR and market analysis dictating that hybrid/electric customers wanted more useless luxury.... Which isā€¦

James May more than makes up for the other two for me to be able to sit down with them on tv.Ā 

And weā€˜ll never understand the sycophancy..

Gotta love the lie that is the American free market

Now that's just darn fab
