The mini is leasing under $300 and fits that requirement (111 mile range)

I remember the days when MB S-Class compared with the BMW 7 Series.

Why Mercedes decided to release a EQS with MSRP rivaling i7 but then have the EQS be completely inferior is something those folks in Stuttgart need to figure out.

There are like so many spies and company moles shifting info between Munich and Stuttgart… how did BMW pull off the outcome that the i7 seriously outclasses the EQS?

I think this was addressed on one of the EQS threads regarding repairs and warranty stuff.

$50-60,000 car with a $40,000 (wholesale) battery. Not hard to figure out what went wrong there.

If only I was MiniNerd.

I don’t even think my leg will fit in a Mini.

That’s why I’m looking forward to the EV9.

Hey you asked for a reasonable <$300 100miles, even the MX30 doesn’t cover that., not that I have ever seen an MX-30 on the road.

Govt subsidy musical chairs?

They just need more subsidies… seems like an easy fix!

That video title is used repeatedly by that channel. Not sure what it has to do with the article.

give everyone a free Tesla, solves everything. Tesla exceeds even the wildest bull case so stonks go more up, government achieves full EV transition so they get to celebrate victory, a ton of other peripheral government and corporate wins recorded. The only people suffering are your rank and file Americans, but who cares, they are suffering anyways, right?

There solved everyone’s problems :slight_smile:

Not sure but the video just gets into Toyotas choice to have multiple energy sources and not just focus on one. Their stock price reflects their better choices.

Does Hydro add or subtract from Toyota motor corp stock?

I guess we will find out in the next few years. I’m a stockholder and very happy with their performance since I started buying in 2019. I own ford as well and they were doing great until the ev losses kicked in…I do think ford is a good buy at these levels but there’s def risk. The dividend is nice though.

I :heart: my Mirai tho

No hydro in the EV discussion thread. :slight_smile:

I do agree that it shouldn’t be all BEV… any alternate fuel source is good… I think even the Mirai performs like an EV?

Hydrogen is converted to electricity so it is an EV :eggplant:

Could that be the most misplaced eggplant emoji in the history of eggplant emojis?
