The reason corvettes are rare is because soooooo many of them don’t make it. They get naturally selected off the road by their drivers. 

yeah the next question is that since they’re doing all this muscle car EV stuff.... which company is gonna swoop in with the small, efficient, low cost, light weight, zippy, fun to drive EV’s when we have the electricity crisis and electricity gets really expensive?

honestly, in my eyes it looks just short enough that it could almost be a wagon.

based on the charge rate, it seems that they’re packing 60~80kwh battery packs depending on the trim and are getting roughly 4.1 miles/kwh.

It’s weird EV feels better with more torque but HP numbers Lower is totally fine.

Hmmm. Let’s see. 300k, 2-car garage.

we bought a 2020 Huyndai Ioniq Limited EV. it was a brand new car leftover on closeout in Feb 2021, like a couple weeks before the chip shortage was big news. we got it for $700 down and $150/month for 35 months, so just under $6000 total for 3 years.

ive seen a handful around here in the bay area in person.... they look VERY different.

I am very torn... what I NEED is a Volvo Duett... either a PV445 or P210. something in decent exterior shape. that I can work on and make run nicely as a daily.

that took me a sec... i first read “He-Ride” and thought to myself “hmm thats odd.” then realized it was a smushed together “Her-Ride”....

All that and the car still only gets 28mpg  I’d figure if they’re going to all that trouble to bloat a sedan they’d shoot for better fuel economy…. But nope.

Wagon would have been nice. 

My grandfather drove a crown. It was a great car. We had a ton of great memories driving across the Japanese countryside in that thing. But man…. This new one just ain’t doing the name any favors. 

Roll caged, engine swapped, homemade suspension, homemade engine harness….

saw this in the red color the other day... in the light it looks Amazing... C40

“in the name of jesus christ, we will hereby kill a dolphin and suffocate a flock of sea birds, and drown a penguin in a bath of ‘lib’ tears for every single Leaf we sell, as God would have wanted.”

So I will say this about hyundai. Their trunk space isn’t bad depending on how you use it. We have a 2020 ioniq ev. With the back seats up the trunk isn’t huge but it gets almost everything done without having to tip the seats down.

Not necessarily. Look at F1 and all the crap they do to their spoilers it’s more than just a single line/curve. Some of it is downforce some is reducing drag. Keep in mind a car is a very large surface area to reduce drag over… if the 2nd spoiler helps reduce drag and improves efficiency, Id say “do it.” In a market

Yeah. And it’s efficient at 4.9miles/kWh I’m pretty sure it’s the most efficient ev bound for the us market. If we also consider the size it’s actually really impressive.

we’re all about EV’s these days, and they have certainly come a VERY long way since the 70's.....
