Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

I think smaller EVs for commuting makes sense. Larger EVs have large costs associated to building them. The size along with payload of more people and their stuff, it’s going to be a challenge to find “affordable”


Even a used Lightning with extended range is still expensive. Only get 5 seats but, it’s roomy.

Odyssey size anything EV is spendy new or used.

A vinfast should be worth about $14 and a wet pack of smokes at this point.

I’ve done the math on used Focus (Focii?), Leaf, and e-Golf as a commuter but it just doesn’t make sense.

Maybe someone will trade a cheap EV for a Ducati Scrambler….then the math may work lol.

They all have garbage range and wouldn’t make it to work and back on a charge.

When I was visiting my buddy with the lighting we ran into an interesting situation. Lightning was set for one pedal driving. I was spotting while we tried to get the truck as close as possible to a tree (truck was long, parking spots were not and driving lane was narrow). Between one pedal driving, sensors freaking out about the tree and tons of power on tap, creeping forward a few inches was harder than in a normal vehicle.

Need to turn off the sensors but depending on how, it can be a PITA.

My Polestar keeps jamming on the brakes when reversing into a spot with a concrete curb even though I have plenty of clearance (ie. I could go right to the tires). It feels like I hit something that's how abrupt it is.

Workaround is to go very slow or turn it off auto-brake on the backup screen.
