Electric Cars:what's available?

They have clearly employed a new head of ugliness director!!

Apologies if you've seen this, but I had to post this here as there is more than a hint of traditional Citroenesque about this - reminiscent of the GS / CX or even the SM.



I just wonder how robust those solar panels are and what that would cost to replace if it got a chip - especially the bonnet ones.

As he says, one thing it ain't - cheap at $250k

Steve posted something up back in 2019, but that was a first look and Bobby Llewellyn did the video. So more than welcome on the thread, Marc. EV's should look like slippery shapes, with spats over the wheels, and not like the BMW heavy brick, and the ubiquitous SUV style. You get used to Robert Llewellyn on Fully Charged, but inevitably as it has grown he cant do it all himself, so the channel uses other presenters some of which I find are hard work

I found that bloke very hard work and dropped it after a few minutes.
There was a rec. for the Tesla Plaid by Supercar Blondie, who can also be hard work at times.
Unfortunately presented by her husband, who was seriously hard work, also abandoned.

[NewcastleFalcon]

She doesn't review cars, but Helen Czerski who does some more science-ey stuff for the channel is an absolute gem!

A very depressing sight.

Looks like bugs bunny

A very depressing sight.

What's more depressing is that there are people out there that think it looks good

[GiveMeABreak]

That simply cannot be very aerodynamic. It's like a brick on wheels.

That comment just isn't fair on bricks!!!

[Rp0thejester]

Yeah, some bricks have holes in!!

On the subject of presenters I think if I were running the show I'd insist they all sit on their hands when presenting, can't stand all that talking with the hands stuff.

[myglaren]

Just seen that this thing is £77,000

It's the same vehicle modified by the Gas Monkey lot.

Not a lot in it but the right hand one was never intended to be anything other than practical at a reasonable cost, therefore that on is the better one.
