NB you just don’t care about range in an EV, there are enough charging points, but you may care about efficiency.

Nice to see an efficiency-driven design in this dreadful sea of SUV, hell yes.

Bet the US gets a no on that one. 

How is that even sarcasm? I'd give them a standing fucking ovation. 

It’s too bad, you know? For all the lives Boeing’s recent crashed planes have claimed, they could have earned back a lot of good will if they’d just crashed *one more* plane.

Wait until the poors find out who Republicans truly hate the most.

The mass embrace of cold-blooded cruelty puts all the utopian sci-fi in a new light. Humanity was never going to band together to make a better world for everyone once fascists realized how many stupid people there are and their endless willingness to believe anything that triggers their rage or bloodlust. 

Prepare yourselves for corruption on a level we’ve never experienced before. Trumps nominee for the Department of Commerce is the current CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, which has just been charged by the SEC for breaking the law.

As long as brown and non-straights of any ethnicity suffer, people have shown they are willing to allow their leaders anything and everything.

Not only cool with it but fucking ecstatic about it. Its all going to be a disaster.

Imagine being wealthy enough to buy yourself the government of the United States of America.

as much as I think the XM is terrible... its been out 2 years and has sold maybe 15k units worldwide. the i8 sold like 20k total in 7 years.

the i16 looks great, but it’d be a 4 cylinder hybrid supercar for ~$200k and probably would have sold even worse than the i8

The XM is one of those ugly ass vehicles that everyone hates now and will be nostalgic about in a couple decades.  

The XM we got is a cool enough design on its own

The Prologue is an interesting exercise in brand reputation.  It is just a Blazer EV, but it outsells the Blazer EV almost 2-1.

Went with a friend ~2015 to trade her Subaru in on a Mazda. Following conversation took place.

I’ve only driven an EV once, but it was enough to convince me that electric is the future of automobiles. I still love my stick shifts and roaring engines, so I won’t be buying an EV any time soon, but simply from the perspective of performance, smoothness, effortless power and refinement the path forward is obvious.

Yeah, I think you just look at the actual data now. Forget these surveys which can push an agenda based on the phrasing of the question.

Surveys can be biased, if the people doing the survey don’t mitigate and account for their bias. A well designed research survey takes precautions to eliminate bias and check validity of responses. But yeah...McKinsey? Probably not a well developed survey.

In the suburbs of my large metropolitan area the off-road trim seems to be mandatory for trips to Target.
