I'd rather buy a BYD on the low end or a Lucid on the high end, with many of far more interesting EVs all across the range. Not to even get to him as a person which is unappealing.
tesla makes interesting cars, but i wait for the day they stop producing drive units, and start producing wheel drives. Hub motors are definitely the objectively correct solution when it comes to EVs IMO. There are so many more things you can do, and so many more options you're opened up to.
oh and they stop being proprietary garbage, perhaps one day we will get opentesla firmware, as a hack.
I'm curious- how do you feel about the Hyundai/Kia Uni wheel system?
im not super familiar with it, but having skimmed the one article im willing to read about it, it seems interesting, im not entirely sure what it intends to do, but that's a fault of the article for not fucking explaining it lol.
If you have a very concise technical TL;DR that would be very appreciated. I genuinely cannot read the majority of content on the web because it has nothing of actual value to me. Reading documentation that actually explains things and technical papers has ruined me.
Shits all marketing speak primarily these days, i don't care, tell me what it is, and show me a demonstration or a diagram. Nothing more needs to be said IMO.
All I've seen of it is the marketing video that Hyundai released so I was curious if anyone had an unbiased opinion. I did show it to someone I know who works for a competitor and they felt that it seemed really promising, but I don't work in the field so I'm not sure.

Really? I know a couple of people that had one, and the main reason for not buying another is they're the 90s Alfa Romeo of electric cars.
Looks nice but always at the garage.
I live in the most Tesla filled city in the world. I'm a fucking dick to them. I'm sorry, but if you're buying into that Nazi's cult and I have the choice of being my usual kind self, or taking the opportunity to go ahead of you, cut you off, etc., I'm going to do the latter.
People are avoiding Tesla's?

That’s delivery of vehicles. Aren’t they famously way behind with long wait times? Actual sales figures would be a better gauge.

The charging infrastructure isn't where it should be if people were really serious about EV.
I don't think this is having a meaningful effect. Tesla'a biggest marketplace is China, and I doubt they care about American politics. It is more likely that China is discouraging people from buying Teslas due to American threats to ban Tiktok.
