Tesla did it right. With the roadster.
I would like to buy an electric car. Small (flat/low drag), no useless electrical consumers (no power steering, always-online, TV, coffee machine, ...). As a second car, obviously, for the weeked joyride. I can reach work by bike effortlessly.
But all that is being built is all SUV, SUV, and more SUVs.
Maybe, one day. Miata electric? Will probably be full of electronic toys. Electric Boxter/Cayman? Useless fluffy interior. Also, probably bloated electronics, too. Maybe Lotus, like the original Tesla, except with more modern battery/drive train. 2026?
- tadfisher 4y agoAs a Miata owner/enthusiast (first-generation), I'm worried about electrification. I just can't see how they can pull it off without adding 500+ lbs to the curb weight, at which point it's no longer a Miata but a GR86 without a roof. The current generation is remarkably close to my car's weight (2300 vs 2100 lbs), which is quite an achievement given modern safety requirements.
