These new EVs lose value the moment you drive them off the car lot...

Thank you for all the information (!) and photos,
however, not mentioned is how far they will go in 15 degree weather in a snowstorm.
Ambient temperature affects battery power life.
Also, if you run out of power enroute, how long will it take a tow truck to recharge your battery, and can they totally recharge so you can be on your way again ?
Also, some utilities are installing "smart meters" which can be controlled by central command
and have raised electric bills by triple the normal rate.
What happens if you exceed your allotted electric power for home heat in 15 degree temps ?
Asking for a friend ...

The cheapest one is the one you don’t buy.

No Hondas on the list, which is one of the reasons I own Honda stock.

I would go with the Hyundai Kona. But only after checking out lots of reviews as to the mechanical reliability. This Australian car guy really liked it.

Completely unsustainable.
Prohibitively expensive.
No way anyone is going completely electric.
They are all quite ugly or look like every other car out there.

Note that most of the electric cars are small and have no range and also have no styling. Plus you get to wait at a charging station for 45 mins or more or keep stopping at one for 10 minutes at a time for a small charge and small range.

Nissan Leaf EPA-estimated range: 149-212 miles
That is quite a difference in an estimate. This before you turn on the a/c or heater or climb any hills or add any weight to haul around.

How cars are designed these days:

Hey, ChatGPT (or whatever), design me a car looks just slightly different from all the other new cars.

I had some Hot Wheels Sizzlers back in the day. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but it seems to me the Tezla Model S was styled after one of the Sizzler body styles.

Maybe Elon had Sizzlers too.
