It was an absolute turkey of an EV, on par with the Mazda MX-30, except it cost $10000 more and equally useless for anything except for city driving. So ironically, though it is quite an attractive car, this is objectively the Right Thread for the Honda e orange juche fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Jan 12, 2024 |

orange juche posted:The only good car stuff was the exterior styling. If you're referring to the concept version, yeah. The production one looks poo poo in comparison. You are correct about this being the right thread though even though a 140 mile range is more than enough for the vast majority of people considering it like most 'cheap' EVs is a city car.

I mean the production version isn't ugly, but the 140 mile range full to empty is abominable, and the thing they've replaced it with (the Honda e:Ny) has about 60 more miles of range, but it looks like a Honda HR-V inside and out, and costs just shy of $60000 off the lot, for the base model. Honda is off their loving rocker.

Yeah, Nissan has a similar problem with their Ariya starting at the mid 50k price point. That is not going to get these little crossover EVs to sell in the Midwest when you can start getting into base model Tahoes and other full-sized SUVs for that price point.

We already have that tech, it's ~roads~ already reserved for special vehicles that individual drivers aren't invited to use. If he took a train, then he won't wake up in the middle of a highway median again, relying on computers to do what his awake/well-rested mind and body should be doing instead of cramming it with his chemical concoction of energy drinks, coffee, LSD and lack of sleep since he insists on driving 18 hours in one shot. The Copenhagen metro has been self driving since 2002 lol.

The problem with a tiny light ev is batteries are heavy, and a Fit would not handle having 50 or so kw of batteries slung under the car. Also, 50kw of ev batteries is like 20000 dollars or something like that with all the other poo poo needed to cool and maintain the batteries, and your 20,000 dollar Fit is now $40,000 plus.

mobby_6kl posted:The Bolt somehow makes it work pretty well for a small and cheap car, though yeah it's generally more difficult to make it compelling than an upmarket one. The Bolt didn't start selling well until they slashed the sticker price to $2000 under manufacturer cost to build. Not factory price to dealer, manufacturer build cost. There's a reason they discontinued the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, because they were losing stacks of cash on each Bolt off the line. That and the cars going  didn't help.

Scratch Monkey posted:I love my Fit and will drive it until it disintegrates Same. My 2008 is at 130k miles, I got it at 70k, and the only non-maintenance thing I've had to do to it is replace a sun visor clip. Also a muffler if you don't consider exhaust components to be consumables. It probably needs a throwout bearing, still on the original clutch afaik, but I'm doing my best to ignore that at least until my quickjacks arrive but preferably until I have a second vehicle. e: I replaced all the brake wear items less because I needed to and more because I felt like I needed to do something to the car Galler fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jan 12, 2024 |

heffray posted:If you're not in California, you can swap an actual (K24) engine into a Fit. If you are in California, just buy a Fiesta ST instead of trying to swap the drivetrain and gas tank from a 2009 RSX into a Fit. TSX? The RSX had the K20 and went away after 2006.

Midjack posted:TSX? The RSX had the K20 and went away after 2006. Correction, 2002-04 RSX (and your Fit has to be the same age as the RSX or older). The thing where anything classed as an "emissions control device" (includes gas tank & evap systems on K-series Hondas), and the stock ECU from the engine source have to be included with the swap is incredibly limiting for CA legality.

How do you know that the alleged "gap" isn't an intentionally engineered airspace interval to allow for thermal expansion or chassis flex or something

The part that really gets me is that in the end, it's just a Model Y with a body kit. There's no difference in the driving experience between the Cybertruck and any other Tesla except that the Cybertruck is taller and harder to park. I imagine I'd feel extreme remorse if I spent $120,000 on the vehicle only to discover that it's functionally no different from driving my three other Teslas.
