I respect it, but they lost me as a potential buyer when they added a transmission. To me the whole appeal was the de-coupling of the ICE to be just a generator. That would have unlocked so many interesting development and customization directions. Now its just a prius with a much bigger battery, not something truly different.
- sremani 10y agoThis is a bogus argument, I get about 42 miles free and clear electric (in spring and summer) no engagement of ICE, unless it is too damn cold or steep or I choose HOLD mode (which I do for distances over 40 miles). Yes, the ICE propels the wheels but only in limited circumstances, and its not simplistic as glorified Prius.
