This angle looks like they just revived the Isuzu Amigo

Not to derail this thread and as I've said in other EV related threads, whether an EV is right for you, is completely dependent on your driving routine. It is way better for some people and will make no sense for other people...it all comes down to your normal driving routine. Of all the my friends and other people I know that own EVs, "saving the planet" was not even on the list of consideration for buying one. Most of them bought them from hearing the experiences of other friends who have owned EVs. For me personally, my EV is my daily driver. The whole waiting for a charger is foreign to me, as my daily driving is within my range limits and I simply plug in at home and am fully charged for the next day. I have taken the EV to Vegas often, and some of the casinos even have free chargers in their parking garage. I don't preach EVs to anyone...it is not for everyone. I have told some friends who have been interested and I have told them I don't think it will work out well for them. Other friends I have absolutely guided them towards an EV, and having owned them for awhile now, are so glad they did. I don't think government should force it on us.

They are fun, faster than ICE, and cost $0 to maintain.

Buddy has a Model Y, it's hardly maintenance free. You even have to change the differential oil.
And it eats tires. ;-)

Everyone's experience will be different...for every car...look at this forum as an example. My MY experience is very different from your friend's. Over 57K miles on my 2020, changed 2 flat tires due to nails and changed the last 2 original tires about 10k miles ago.

Why do all electric cars have to “look” electric. Totally turns me off. Not to mention the silence. But the look is the primary reason. Just all ugly.

Whether we like it or not EV’s are going to be the future for most folks, and it makes sense if the grid can support it. Less noise, less pollution, but I have no illusions of EV’s “saving the planet”.
But, they seem so “soul less”, an ICE vehicle seems like a living, breathing individual with a unique personality. At least my vehicles seem to be temperamental.

Maybe but the grid isnt close to supporting it. Not close at all. Not to mention its not as green as you think. Many other problems arise. Cali cant support residents using air conditioning . Imagine millions changing their vehicles too. Many hurdles and in the end it takes jobs away. Oil drives the world economy. Plain and simple
