Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Same as in UK for pricing vs Model 3:
Kia
- £33,195: EV4 58.3kWh
- £36,195: EV4 81.4kWh
Tesla
- £37,990: M3 Standard RWD 60kWh
- £44,990: M3 Premium RWD 79kWh
- £49,990: M3 Premium AWD 79kWh
And almost as ugly as a Tesla Cybertruck! Great job, kia.
I own a BYD, and a huge part of that was to not be buying anything that would give a nazi cunt a single cent
Ah yes the CCP is well-known for their stance on freedom and equality...
Australian Tesla's are made in China.
Even better
Ah yes, everyone is the same and affects the entire world in exactly the same way. Nothing makes a difference, so why bother /s
I mean I wasn't the one virtue signaling about China so...
You think I bought a car to support the Chinese government?
That's a long bow to draw there, champ
No I don't think that. And it's not what I said. I think you bought a car to avoid supporting Elon Musk (at least that's what you said) but you ended up supporting worse institutions instead.
I mean, he actually bought a car based on his values, you’re just bothering him about it on the internet. Who’s virtue signaling?
he actually bought a car based on his values
...what do you think "virtue signaling" means?
And the point is their values are flawed. That's fine, nobody's perfect. Just trying to prevent others from making the same mistake.
It means yammering about your virtues without doing anything substantive. If you’re just critiquing him for having virtues and having reasons for doing what he does that’s pretty weak shit.
I'm not critiquing them for "having values", I'm critiquing them for not understanding basic geopolitical facts.
Oh ok, please name the non-problematic car brand he should have chosen, oh saint of virtue
That depends on what your values are but if they're "not owned by nazis", you're gonna have to purchase from outside the CCP.
Unfortunately, depending on where you live, you might be forced into subsidizing or giving him grants.
Every day I'm grateful to live in a civilised country, rather than 'Murica
It's like they got an EV6 and just stretched the booty.
It will be based on the same 400-volt front-wheel-drive (FWD) version of Hyundai’s E-GMP platform
e-GMP is 800V...
If we consider swapping the name Tesla for baby, then we could all sing the classic 1970s hit, Disco Inferno.
