And I would not have purchased one, because no matter how great it was, the practical limitations of EVs make them a non-starter for me.
I would be much more interested in a highly efficient ICE (assuming it is reliable, affordable, etc.)
- kjksf 9y agoIf that's a statement of your personal preferences, then there's no disagreement. You do you. If you claim that Mazda could not sell well made electric car then: * Tesla has 500 thousand pre-orders for Tesla 3 * Mazda sold 290 thousand cars in US + Mexico in 2017 (https://insidemazda.mazdausa.com/press-release/december-2017-sales/ https://insidemazda.mazdausa.com/press-release/december-2017...)
- petre 9y agoPre orders are not the same as cars sold. The preorder costs 1k and you can cancel it, while a new model 3 starts at 35k. The Mazda CX5 which accounts for 128k units sold in '17 costs $25 to 28k.
