That's what I keep telling my Amish freinds but they insist there's nothing wrong with their horse-drawn carriage. Some people just can't stand progress I guess..

That would be funny if electric cars weren't a worse tool for personal transportation than their ICE powered counterparts. Marketed and mandated does not make it better.

Faster makes it better. You're just jealous you're still driving Fred Flintstone's dinosaur juice powered car.

Have you ever even seen a racetrack or road with a curve in it before? Pretty dull take.

They probably filled up on cheap summer-grade electrons and didn't let the car warm up properly. I only use premium winter-grade electrons and never drive my EV until it has reached proper operating temperature. It's a little more complicated than a gas car but way better.

lol. Keep coping. Electric cars are terrible to drive fast. They might be capable in some ways but batteries are heavy and physics always wins. I know on a Mercedes forum a lot of members may not have seen a real sports car for a few decades but there are still vehicles out there that batteries and electric motors cannot replace.

Yes, physics always wins. Battery density going up means range goes up OR weight comes down for the same range. The lightweight EVs of the future are already being built:


You're in petrol-head denial and may need the help of an auto-shrink.

Theory 1. I must say, I do love the door mechanism. They haven’t named it yet, so my suggestion would be “Reverse Lambo”.

It's a prototype so I wouldn't hold my breadth on those door making it into production. I would have bought an MG Cyberster already if it hadn;t been for the tariffs though:
