if i didn't have to park on the street i'd prob get a bolt or something. or an i3 when they were selling them for like 50% off. but yeah the i8 is proof enough that bmw can make an ev that's not goofy af, and it was just a stylistic choice for the i3.

I can understand making a car "pretty" being difficult given the constraints a designer has to work with and shifting fashion tends, but you can't convince me that's the best they can do. early electrics looked like hot wheels because of limited power density in the batteries of the time so they needed all the aerodynamic help they could get. however, that cemented "looks goofy" as a signifier of "uses electricity/hybrid" and they sell enough that we're stuck with it for a while.

TimWinter posted:A 75 mile range and rear wheel drive turning it into a curling stone if there's any snow on the road doesn't really scream 'daily driver' to me. I know a guy who uses one for a daily driver here in Minnesota and he loves it but he also won't turn on the heater in the winter because that wastes power

Sagebrush posted:the wagon wheels are probably pretty good in the snow bc they would cut into it rather than drifting on top Those almost look like motorcycle tires; I wonder if they considered using those. Tire life would be awful but so is the car's range so how many miles are you putting on them in the first place
