Analog in what sense? No digital readouts? It has a standard EV charge port, so it's definitely got computers in it somewhere to negotiate charging at a minimum.
It's a term usually used to describe the gauges/displays on the dash.

You can negotiate charging with essentially a single resistor. Deciding when to stop / balancing cells etc is the harder problem.

For USB sure.... I'm pretty sure this doesn't charge over USB.

#34Some specs about the car:
- 31.5kWh
- 630kg
- 300km (186mi) range
This review explains the concept behind the car in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aTzuUrdyIc

#35Would be great to read about it but my residential internet has apparently been blocked for "malicious activity".
You're Web browser probably isn't leaking enough identifiable information for the site to judge whether or not you're a bot, so it default to denying you.

From the FAQ at the bottom of the page:
> Prices for a TC2 start at €44.500 excluding taxes (€53.854 including 21% btw/Dutch tax)
Street legal in Europe but not the US, up to 300km range.

#37Lovin' this! Though I'm not a fan of the design but like the spirit of it. I can't fathom why we can't have a modern car with analog displays and switches in the cockpit. I own a 25 years old car which only has a digital radio (removeable!) and that's it, perfectly enough.
Look at the Bugatti Tourbillon. About as analog-appearing as it gets. Clearly there’s a recognition that this is what luxury looks like — but switches (let alone dials!) cost more than touch screens.
The most analog-appearing car interior I've ever seen is the Spyker C8: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spyker_C8_Spyder_-_F...

#38I like the general design very much. And additionally the fact that it is small, lightweight, and not imposing, while apparently being a fast car.
Except for one thing: the brushed metal dashboard. I can imagine how terribly it's going to reflect the sun from behind when the roof is folded. I hope they can offer a tasteful matte dark version.
As of the lack of bells and whistles, the dashboard seems to be prepared for being customized. I suppose it's not a cheap car, so a customization job is not going to ruin the buyer's finances. I can imagine that a custom radio with protected but visible vacuum tubes could appeal to some buyers.

#39I like the idea, and we need variety in the market to keep things evolving, but I like the bells and whistles. I just don't want it to phone home. Honestly, I want the title to be 'we don't have a network connection and we can still be a car'. Privacy is my #1 feature.
I have a BYD Seal and this was as simple as removing the SIM (it's in the armrest compartment and just pops out).

#40Oh, yet another luxury EV. Wake me up when a manufacturer finally commits to making an EV that everyone can afford and isn't a cloud-connected privacy nightmare.
I'm holding out hope for https://www.slate.auto/en I know it's somehow associated with Amazon, is it going to be a cloud-connected privacy nightmare. I haven't heard anything about it, but I also wouldn't be surprised.
It rumored to have VC funding from Besos, but that doesn't give them special access to Amazon nor Amazon special access to Slat.
It can lead to conflicts of interest (see also: https://www.law.com/delbizcourt/2025/10/29/attorney-for-amaz...) but that's a far cry from significant data sharing.
