- floxy 3y agoNissan didn't even make the cut.
- gorkish 3y agoI thought about leaving Japan totally off because they just can't seem to build a decent EV to save themselves; I made a mistake leaving Honda as a Maybe; they kind of threw in the towel today. All the Chinese EV makers are mostly making e-waste at the moment: mad rush to the bottom. Can't wait to see the photos of the fields with tens of thousands of these junked cars in a couple of years--
- floxy 3y agoBiggest complaints with the LEAF or ARIYA?
- outside1234 3y agoGM? They are building a bunch of tanks that get super poor eMPG and don't have CarPlay.
- gorkish 3y agoThey uncancelled the Bolt and honestly they are bluffing with CarPlay as well; it will be back. They won't be able to sustain the blowback. Their business strategy is braindead and they are going nowhere fast on their lame software: they seem to believe that the EV credit is money for them and not for their customers. They can build an ev <$30k but they only want to sell $45k EVs. I believe they will take a big hit over the next 2 years learning their lesson the hard way, but they still know how to build and integrate EVs with more economies of scale (more shared parts with economy ICE models, etc.) than their competitors.
