On the “so close but probably shouldn’t” front: There was an e-tron out here for 59k and 0 apr, but it got snatched up and as of now there aren’t viable L2 chargers to get from northern Utah to california, which is my arbitrary benchmark for owning only EVs. Has anyone’s mileage threshold gone down since the pandemic started? I think I’m honestly cool at 250. We have a leaf, but one car being able to do 250 with charger support would be fine imo. Juuuuust maybe not 205. :/ Edit: RZA Encryption posted:I wish I could buy a 2 door EV bronco FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE, THIS. (Also, I’m looking up EV crate motors for that very same purpose. We are so close to it being viable!)

Do a 3 year, leasing is at best a temporary situation with many pitfalls and an emerging EV is one of the only good cars to do it with.

priznat posted:Back when I was growing up leases were always seen as a terrible idea unless you could write it off for work reasons, but is that not the case now with how pricey cars have gotten? Basically this, with the addition of supporting EVs on the road but not committing to the pain of early adoption and limited features.

What in the BLUE gently caress happened to the headlights?!?! The earlier spy photos looked so much better.

Shai-Hulud posted:They...are taped over because for some reason they think it's necessary to keep some sort of camo on the car. I guess that’s okay. I was gonna say, I honestly like the look of it until that photo, but to be honest I didn’t look the photo over that critically. I don’t know how I’m going to secure one here in the US, but I want one.

RZA Encryption posted:I wanna see it next to a bolt. I think it looks real good, and I absolutely hate that they aren't bringing it over. I have resigned myself to my fate of joining the crossover masses with the ID 4. Which I can’t wait to slam down a hundo to configure in 3 weeks

I reserved an id4. Excited about it. 250 does what it needs to and is 25 miles more than my personal comfort level on range anxiety. Doing awd and waiting until mid 2021 though.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Same. Put a reservation down on an AWD model. Going to likely be between that, the XC40 electric or the Ariya for our next car. Those are the three we are looking at too: we have a gen 1 leaf and it is... fine. If I can not Nissan then I’m going to not Nissan. I love volvos but I’m worried the price point for the xc40 is too high for us. Id4 meets what I want and the knowledge that I know service will be a bit more typical. Edit: I’d say I’d do the Mach e but... ehhhhhhhhhhhh the price and I trust Ford dealers as far as I can throw them.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:I'll also give the usual "you probably don't need AWD" caveats Agreed. FWD and actual, legitimate snow tires do the job very very well. That being said RWD in the winter is a nightmare where we live sooooo

Hexigrammus posted:Welp, after a bit of searching I guess I might as well launch The Great AI EV Winter Driving Derail of 2020. We are going to do the hakkapelittas this year, pretty excited. That’s cool for people who had success with RWD! My wife grew up where we live, and while not a WE MUST HAVE AWD person, she is big on no RWD in snow based on experience. The leaf honestly hasn’t been bad, but snow tires for us will be big given how much snow falls out here and how intensely when it does. If we are going 5,000 feet up a narrow canyon with a very high chance of avalanche, I’d rather go with her experience.

Just gonna say it: we are fully Clockwork Oranging at this point. That thing WILL kill more people than other cars will. As will Cybertruck. If/when it comes out.
