All the Hyundai Kona Electrics near me are listed between $39.5 and $46K. Even with the $7500 tax credit, these are pretty damn expensive.

That would be sweet. You could downshift 15 times while trying to drag race someone from a stop light!

I hope these quick release fasteners aren’t accessible to little kids! I can just imagine a 2-5 year old figuring out how to dismantle everything within reach while on the highway.

Yes that’s very true. My comment was intended as a light-hearted joke — it was true, in fact. It was not intended as an attack on sexual orientation/identity (or race, since you bring it up).

As long as Cadillac doesn’t do anything stupid like they did with their XLR taillights. That would ruin everything.

What about the couple I know who taught their toddler that the word for pooping was actually the name of their least favorite football team?  This caused a bit of confusion in preschool...

Yeah I’ve seen premium over $4.90 in the SF Bay Area.

Really? It’s a tiny red stripe. Helps out with the, “I’m sitting in a black cave in the middle of a sea of grey cars feeling” that I get most of the time.

The ELR did look pretty cool, but that’s about the only thing it did correctly: it’s acceleration/handling and fuel efficiency were all quite subpar given the price. It was also a coupe, which is pretty much a death sentence for sales for the past 10-20 yrs.

I wonder if they have a battery design that eliminates the current GM/LG battery flaw. Not sure the Lyriq will sell well if it has the same rules as the Bolt: park outside & do not charge overnight.

I drove an eGolf with like 78 miles of range for 3x years. It was really never a problem for what I needed to do, which was get to work and drop off/pick up my young son. I did, however, have the ability to charge at work.

Is there some Euro or Japanese market segment this vehicle meets?  Perhaps it will sell in some market, and serve as a compliance car for CA?

It’s actually a difficult decision...

I used AVIS @ JKF around July 4 this year. They gave me Chevy Impala with the belt showing through the rubber! Unfortunately I didn’t notice until after I drove off the lot, but the car was obviously never maintained other than the typical 30sec carwash+vacuum. I bet it didn’t even get it’s oil changed in the past…

Only use a Bolt battery if you want to, “burn down (your) house, with (your) family’s dead bodies in it.”

Obviously, if he’d wanted his families bodies cremated, he would not be storing them at home.

Damnit, GM just told me a couple weeks ago that my late-2019 was fine because it’s battery was not made by LG-Chem.

Don’t parrot lies that you read from your facebook friends or whatever source of misinfomation you read.

They’re not “Missing Random Safety Features”, the just didn’t install they EyeSight system with the MT. There’s a good reason for it, too: combining an MT with certain safety features quite complicated, since many of these features would ideally require computer control of the clutch.

It’s perfect for the 1990's Buick product strategy that Lexus has been following, though. The RC is like a modern version of this:
