Those of us who live in the south bay (more much desireable, IMHO) doesn’t give any fucks.

In fact, almost 38 percent of drivers would have been able to make 100 percent of their trips throughout the year with a small, lower-range EV such as the Nissan Leaf.

Part 2 of this is actually offering real “orders” for the cars. I know that isn’t an issue for many OEMs who do offer special orders, but I see Honda/Acura mentioned here, who I believe follows the Toyota method of allocating cars to dealers, so that consumers have to cross their fingers that something they like comes…

The others are fun to entertain, but that there’s only one correct answer for a city car and that is the Honda Fit. Get rid of that land yacht Scion XB (168"? Who needs that big of a car?) and get an actual compact car whose seats can comfortably hold four people over 6 feet tall.

Or you could just learn to drive properly.

30 km/h zones in Canada are school zones. It’s not that hard to go 30 for like two blocks to make sure you don’t kill kids crossing the street. 

The roads, some of them arteries, were designed for a variety of speed limits and thus promote driving at those speeds. They also did not think to resynchronize the lights, so there is a whole slew of reasons to speed. Going up 3rd Avenue, you have to stop at every second light if you go the speed limit. If you go…

I just don’t understand the market for this vehicle. Who’s spending this kind of a money on a small, under-powered, roller skate? Would you just get the BMW or Merc equivalent?

If you’ve ever driven in London, you’d understand how even 30 mph can seem too fast, because even the arterial roads are narrow. Residential side streets are effectively a single lane once peeps have parked either side.

If I had a nickel for every time the inside of my skull got X-Rayed by an oncoming Acura MDX...

Probably the most fun anyone will ever have mounting a transmission.

Build it and they will come

Expecting owners will get this right is idiotic. They need to fix the core problems: Make all charging spots the same (“fast”). Use a higher build quality. Make certain they are operational with all EVs. Make them easy to use. Build more of them.

You know what immediately makes me want the Puegeot over the Golf?

The question is, should these trains be traveling at above-freeway speeds through neighborhoods across 178 street-crossings with almost no protection or surveillance around these intersections.

That’s not no different then calling ahead for a to-go order though. Whether I send someone else to pick up my to-go order (and pay them to do it) or I go myself, you still have to wait while an order is made for someone not physically in the restaurant.

I’d wager that Marvel and Star Wars are the only thing keeping them afloat. How many people would honestly be subscribed without them? It seems to make up for the VAST majority of their original scripted content (making that distinction because it seems like the NatGeo side of things gets a good amount of content, but…

Cool... this is for the rest of us that don’t want a Tesla. 

And many were CA-only or CA-prioritized and still couldn’t sell in reasonable numbers. My point remains that the basic EVs, even in the most receptive market, failed to make a splash.
