 @804e5d83 even if domestically produced - intelligent EVs use much less parts and maintenance.

When not catching on fire. 🔥 
 @804e5d83 saved repair, saved money haha

Right.
Along with limited range, zero utility, no possibility of large-scale charging infrastructure, and next to none intent resale value.

Oh, and they suck ass anywhere it gets over 90 degrees, or under 20 degrees, so I guess mild coastal areas only? 
 @b2e3a57d @804e5d83 these are all the "IPhone-Stage" how I call it to milk the upper middle class. 

I bet on Spain to curse collectively, getting their act together and producing a 100km/h, 400km range 5000€ simplified e-car with a hybrid/ extension bay for a methanol or hydrogen fuel cell. 

They already produce VERY competitive public busses with induction charging, optionally running on solid state batteries in a few years. 

I know Americans wont understand this so I dont argue.
