^ pretty interesting article in terms of cost breakdown. 40k tesla cost over 5 years is about the same as a 25k civic.

Buttons, knobs, and levers are what I'm all about... don't want any screens or at least as minimal as I can get. And they still seem like decently fun cars to drive and retaining a bit of the base car they come from. And I love the idea of not having to worry about valve cover gaskets or waste time at a gas station. For commuting we'll probably get one sooner rather than later to have in tandem with a family ICE car to do everything else. Only downside is that i can purchase four E90s for the price of one of their cars. In fact I bought my 330i sedan from one of the eGolf owners mentioned above! |
i had no idea a mini EV existed. i'll admit that thing looks pretty cool and would work for my 75 mile round trip commute. hmmm
