I don't want all the features I just want an EV with 300 miles of range, liquid cooling, and 20 minute charging.. Automakers can shove their fancy computerized BS

The cheapest lease in America of any car, not just EVs, is a Hyundai Ioniq 6, with 300+ miles of range. And 20 min dc charging. I have one and it sure doesn't feel like a cheaply made car.

Hyundai has the electric kona that fits that description for the most part.

Only $38k with outdated batteries that require charge limiting I'm looking for under $25k

Good luck! I think you're asking too much TBH.

Were getting ass reamed by legacy auto.. China has cars that meet this requirement but we have regressive tariffs on them. Free market my ass.

I feel the same way about feature bloat on pickup trucks. I don't need a tailgate that opens and closes itself, but it's a mandatory add-on if you want to buy the extended battery for any F-150 lightning. Trucks are meant for work, not loading them up with luxury bullshit.

Trucks are meant for work

When I see the size of them and the pristine condition they are in, I seriously doubt it's the case for most pick up owners.

Tell me about it. It's ruined the truck market for those of us that need/want one for work/light duty.

[–] Dwayne_Elizondo_Mountain_Dew_Camacho@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Same.

Plus these guys are kinda all assholes that seem to compensate for something? Man, if I had a nickel for every time one of those tailgates me...
