All EV family. Comparing Mini to others (Tesla)

[chrunck]

The R3 might be the car that finally gets me away from Mini after 20 years. I too wish it was hatchback size, but it's at least smaller than the Countryman.

The front is kind of meh, but I'm in love with the side and rear views.

If only Rivian would make a hot hatch rather than another SUV...

I fixed it for you:

That's pretty great

Urban Electric Vehicle Charging is Solved in This City!

I did a little piece on our urban infrastructure

Just be happy you don't have to pay an EV registration fee of $200/year. That's $200 on top of your vehicle registration for driving a BEV.

Went to a couple of HyunKia stores recently and they both said BTOs take 12 to 18 weeks now, not months.

12 to 18 weeks for the rear wiper models?

Meanwhile USA has inventory

Niro = two to four months BTO. Maybe quicker with allotment swaps.

Well...I guess you should replace your ICE with another EV before Québec kills the rebate.

Working on it. Six year old, loaded Crosstrek with just 60k km gets pretty good money right now.

Isn't that the national car of Canada?

National car of Vermont for sure...

Canada, I'd probably wager a guess and say base model RAV4 (non-hybrid).

Mach E are in stock at most Ford dealers and your pick of options and colour

Mach E lost the entire $7,500 IRA tax credit this year (2024) so there's going to be lots of supply.

In my neck of the woods, I reckon the national car is a white TM3. Maybe five years ago I'd have said "white Lexus crossover."

Someone at VW said that he wants to bring the id.gti over to the states for $25k. I'll believe it when I see it, but if it does happen, I'm on board. I loved my egolf. I would love a faster version of it.

 

[SameGuy]

Pablo Di Si, president and ceo of VW Group of America. I think if he does convince Wolfsburg to send it over, it'll be priced in line with the GTI, plus the then-current BEV markup over equivalent ICEVs. MSRP on a DSG GTI before options is around $34k, so I reckon an ID.GTI will be closer to $40k in a couple of years, which will likely be competitive with any other hot hatch in North America in 2027.
