tbh I continue to say the i3 scale/weight was what mass market EV transportation should have been designed towards (and more efforts focused on public trans than single/small n occupant cars). Societal/environmental cost of 6000-7000 lb behemoths erase any emissions gains from going EV.

My witty retort would have been, “yeah, well, people bought the Pontiac Aztek, too.”, except Tesla has sold almost as many Cybertrucks in the 3rd quarter as Pontiac sold Azteks in an entire peak sales year.

Was it the Aztek that had really rabid fans? It was one of those boxy ones.

Never could figure out if they actually had really good reasons for it or were just trying to justify having bought an Aztek.

I think the take-away from this is that EV market in the US is a long-ways away from economy cars when the #3 selling car is $100k. You can't even find middling used EVs for sub $20k. They're all just Chevy Bolts people were desperate to unload.

I thought the Bolt had a good reputation. What's wrong with them?
