    Why does it matter? An EV company like Tesla was never going to make EVs that way Toyota could lean halfway into EVs with hybrids. EV demand can chill, but the most chilling is the overpriced ugly SUVs you see, and at least in the US, the Model 3 is the most affordable “acceptable” EV you can get.

    If this proposed Model 2 ever comes out, I’d get it over a hybrid that still has to have oil changed. My second issue with Tesla is how much they cost to repair over a simple shitbox, but gas takes precedent.

      By “acceptable” do you mean ignoring the entire A and B segments cars which make up the majority of global vehicle shipment?

        That’s why he said “acceptable” for some reason the Bolt is on no one’s radar even when it is everything a cheap EV that everyone’s been asking for. The Model 3 is like twice as expensive, with the shittier touch screen controls. Bolt is supreme, and I die on this hill.

          Agreed. The bolt is a better car. It’s what most ev buyers want. A simple easy to use car. As for the Tesla, be careful about what you say. Given that Tesla owners and lovers are fiercely protective over that shitty brand lol.
