Everything that was on the market before tesla was a facimilie of a thousand other cars before it.
Dude, every one of their generic sedan looking business fleet cars look so bleh that they make a mid-90s Dodge Neon look like mind-blowing body design.
The only thing they’ve produced in the last ten years that’s even markedly different from the competition is the cybertruck, and that’s only different in a bad way.
The “innovations” they brought to market are almost all shit I would never need nor want save the EV part of it. I cannot imagine ever wanting to drive a thing in which much of the control and all of the gauges are on a permanently mounted, great value iPad.
They are saying the resale value on these things is going through the floor, and honestly that’s good because that’s what they are worth.
Not talking about the body shape I could give a s*** less about that, matter of fact as places bring out different body shapes it kind of irrationally pisses me off. I’m talking about the design of the suspension and what they did with 360 camera coverage, how they handled the dual motors, The headlight emitters are actually multiple LED arrays and they can spell out shit in the headlights if they want to. All that crap was new and different. The only thing They really introduced that everyone else followed on and I hate is putting every blessed thing on a touch screen in the middle of the car.
I didn’t know the headlight thing was one of their innovations. Yet another thing I can blame them for because driving in front of one of them at night is like a mild form of torture.
I honestly don’t want innovation at all in my car personally. If Honda could make another edition of the electric Fit I would buy it immediately and drive it until it collapsed into dust.
Yeah I had a cavalier in the '90s Best I can say about it is it “usually” worked. They were off a little cars built to a price.
One of my neighbors has a Hyundai Ionic and loves it to death.
I can handle getting a truck but I’ve got too much family to shove into a 2 and 1/2 seater. I am however excited for the complete lack of tracking my ass and price point. If that company can build a 1992 Ford ranger equivalent for $20,000, They can build a shitty cavalier for $20,000 and we can start having competitive electric car pricing.

Chevy’s Bolt isn’t too over the top
If you really want to get back to basics, this looks promising

Yeah I have a hang-up on Chevy because I owned two Cavaliers and they were terrible.
I have thought about it though, the Chevy Bolts look pretty similar to a Fit.
I’m was also considering going with one of the Hyundais if Honda can’t get their act together.
I also don’t think I want a truck.
