"They don't need much time to catch up."
How would we know ? None of the german automakers are making any of their cars electric.
They are making electric cars - iMobiles and eMachines and Tron-mobiles - one-off islands of manufacturing and design that have no connection to their actual product lines.
These are characterized by model-specific very gaudy exterior design flourishes, big seas of screens on screens on screens in the interior and, worst of all, performance numbers that are cautiously restrained by the existing ICE lines they don't want to cannibalize.
We don't want your electric car. We want your car, electric.
Wake me when there is an electric 7 series or Range Rover or A8 (or Volvo v90).
- filoleg 7y agoAs a person who in general dislikes big cars and SUVs (even from the perspective of driving them, it just makes me feel like i am in an APC completely disconnected from the world), if Mercedes managed to pull off the electric Gelandewagen properly, they would make some crazy bank. I know for a fact that i would be drooling all over it, despite my distaste for SUVs.
