Fucken' this! Why does every new car have to have a media tablet on it, EV or not? Give me a cheap screen as the backup camera and don't make me put my fingers on it while driving, and give me potentiometer controls for everything else!
Give me an EV car that makes me feel just a little better than being out in the cold for cheap and I'm sold.
If they made a little EV pickup with a 2 seater cab, 6ft bed, basic backup camera and a 200 mile range for 20k, I'd buy one tomorrow.
This, an electric Ranger is 10x more useful than a crew cab Ram with a 4 foot box, super nova headlights and a 12L V8 un-tuned diesel.
There used to be an Electric Ranger, but the snag was that the range was so low that it was only sold for institutional / commercial campus use -- I think it had a 60 mile range, and took overnight to charge.
Oh man, that's what I want! My commute is 30 miles round trip and it's shift work so there is at least 10hrs of charging time between commutes.
Pick up a 10 year old Tesla -- they're cheap and they have lots of battery life for short commutes.
