The usability on that website is a disaster. Makes me leave the page immediately.
Maybe this fits better into a car community
Which one?
!cars@lemmy.world could be a starting point
I remember being excited about the “hot hatch styling” of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 until I found out it’s actually the size of an SUV.
Also, it will probably be twice as heavy as my GTI. That will be super great for handling, I’m sure.
Then again, normal people don’t buy those things and the fact that I don’t like this will ensure it’s a hit
Compact/xover SUVs don’t weigh much more than an equivalent sedan. They’re basically slightly larger hatchbacks with a bit of height in the cabin.
Weight isn’t as much of a problem with so much of it set so low compared to most ICEs. We’ve seen this in a lot of EVs by now.
A low CoG helps, for sure. But if the car is twice as heavy everything that holds the car off the road needs to be twice as strong to handle it. And then there’s still inertia to deal with, especially when turning or braking.
And then to get the same amount of performance out of it they need to make it incredibly overpowered, and then sell it to people who have no business driving something that can go 0-60 in four seconds.
I checked to see if there were any EV sports cars because having handling like that would be amazing, but the ones that aren’t hypercars are all just special trims on base model cars.
Electric cars, especially these “luxury” vehicles, are for saving auto corporations and maintaining car dependency, not for saving the planet and maintaining a decent life.
You’re not being realistic if you think cars could go away.
You’re not being realistic if you think we can’t beat car dependency, or we have to completely eliminate cars from society. We need to eliminate the system that ensures that cars are the only option, something everyone is forced to own because they make everything else far less safe and convenient. That is a choice that is repeatedly and consistently made in favor of car dominance over humans, and it shouldn’t be.
So, uh…what’s your solution for removing 95% of the land area of the United States so we can all travel by foot?

You guys know trains and planes exist. And you’re not so daft you fully invented the part where I said tear apart all roads and destroy all cars.
Have car companies lost all ability to design beautiful cars? Have all the designers been fired and replaced with child labor? This… thing… looks like a 6-years old drew it up😐

I like the R3…it looks the AMC Eagle.
With a fast charger, owners will be able to get to 80 percent of battery life in just 30 minutes.
Well I don’t think I’ll want to kill 80% of my battery in half an hour.
