^^ and good luck selling it in the used market after warranty. I wouldn't touch a used EV with a 10 foot pole.

Almost shit my pants at Costco in Nanaimo. Saw someone driving a Vinfast VF8 in the parking lot. I can't believe someone bought one. The driver was an older Asian lady.

You shit your pants for the weirdest things!

Maybe she's Vietnamese, supporting the home country... Make Vietnam great again.

I saw a Fisker Ocean in Burnaby yesterday. Later on I found out about the fire sale. :lawl:

68style 03-28-2024 03:24 PM

^ Did you also shit your pants?

dark0821 03-28-2024 05:45 PM

I saw one of these coming up Canada way in Burnaby

So fucking typical as per that MKHB video. So it was hella overcast and dark but it was only like 5pm. Every single other car either had full head lights on or at the very least it’s DRL’s

The only reason the fisker caught my eye is that it has absolutely zero lights on whatsoever lol.. must be waiting for the firmware update to detect low light conditions KEKW

I wonder how fisker owners feel, knowing the car they bought just got discounted 40% and bankruptcy looming.

Although there were tesla owners who genuinely believed their car values will go up once they can make money doing robotaxi and they all burst into tears when their $85K model Y got discounted to $65k overnight.

Wait how much are fiskers, I thought they aren't released yet, how cheap we talking about

24k USD for the base Ocean right now, they literally like halved the price.

JDMDreams 03-29-2024 08:53 AM

Can you even buy here, the configurator isn't loading lol

EvoFire 03-29-2024 09:26 AM

I don't know if it's actually offered for sale in Canada. You can go buy one in the states, but getting shit fixed if it breaks (which is highly likely) is gonna be extremely challenging here, I don't think I've seen any store fronts for them here, nevermind if they go bankrupt there will be zero technical support.

Xiaomi SU7

720s headlights, taycan side profile and ioniq 6 taillights, :lol looks pretty good actually

in all seriousness though, I like how they used actual door handles, physical buttons for HVAC, push button start, way more practical than some the current NA and European EVs

Apple had some stupid tech bro trying to develop “the future of automobiles” with what would probably look like some stupid fully autonomous bus thing (think canoo). Stupid ego project.

and holy moly this ev mini car is too cute, the wheel looks too funny to me


tegra7 04-01-2024 10:17 AM

Got this yesterday. Have not had a chance to try it out yet.

dark0821 04-01-2024 04:30 PM

Yea, I think we all got it.

Works well enough, I was telling BadHobz, if you set it up correctly it actually drive rather aggressively.

I already used it for the past 3 days, going to and coming back from work...

No intervention needed.

Koflach 04-01-2024 04:52 PM

I keep postponing my software update so I can push my Trial as long as I can when we do more driving as the weather gets better.

Badhobz 04-02-2024 03:57 AM

So right now everyone should stay the fuck away from teslas as all these wackos are beta testing on the general public for a month.

:heckno:

teggy604 04-02-2024 11:06 AM

I sat in my friends Model 3 with full self driving. In all honesty you can't help but be eventually complacent. If you are going to "supervise" you might as well drive the car.

Was speaking to a Polestar 2 AWD owner over the long weekend. Apparently they had a prett sweet lease deal going on for their cars at the end of 2023.

$2500 down, $500/month + tax on a 1 year lease for a Polestar 2 AWD, and that still qualifies for a small amount of EV rebate. It is not the model equipped with Ohlins suspension, since that would have put the vehicle over the price range for rebates.

If I was inbetween cars, or just looking for a commuter, I definitely wouldn't mind getting into one.

JDMDreams 04-02-2024 12:25 PM

What's so stupid? $500x1.12 = $560 month x12 + $2500 = $9220 /12 = $770 a month for a year plus insurance. Can you use up your rebate on a 1 year lease? But it's life time isn't it, so you don't get discount when you really buy a ev

Drove to Kelowna in my dad's model x. From the ferry it drove by itself to Kelowna with next to no input. I could have fallen asleep. A lot less nagging to Hold wheel then before. The x had enough range to get to Kelowna without stopping according to tesla but we stopped in hope. Full charge was 35 minutes. Just enough time to eat at rickies. They had 20 tesla charges at the truck stop.
