Have there ever been any based EVs, or are they all cringe?

Model 3 highland performance for the brief window you could get it with the fed $7.5k credit. Great daily handling, weighs as much as a M340i, and were untouchable in the mid 40’s for the performance you were getting. If you were going to be buying a modern automatic performance car, it’s genuinely a decent competitor.

Taycan wagon is also legit. Fucking hate how every mouth breathing executive and consumer demands draggy crossovers when the advantages of an EV are tailor made for wagons.

CATL is now producing solid state batteries that have 3x the capacity of current LFP batteries.
I'd worry more about the grid being overloaded...
solar panels should solve the problem outside of big cities, though.

Yea, Ki/undai had that HVDC converter issues in a lot of their model years, I'm surprised there's no class action lawsuit regarding it.
Bolts had the metal powder in electrolyte problem, which led to shorts and uncontained fires.
First-gen Porsche/Audi Taycan/e-Trons kill their batteries due to OBC faults.
The only brands on the US market without notable big flaws are BMW (from the larger makers), Polestar and Rivian. Tesla are super-common on the 2nd hand market, but they tend to rank low in reliability due to all sorts of assorted hiccups (and they catch fire more often than other electric brands).

No, Kia's are dogshit, put them in C or D, Mitsubishi should be in both A and B, depending on the model and year of car, 4wd or truck, the quality varies pretty wildly, but they made a number of vehicles that earned them the badge of the poor mans toyota.

Been about a month since I bought this bike, so far had to buy new turn signals, a stator, and r/r.
Had it not want to start on me twice with a new battery and once I cracked the crank case open it made a lot of sense as to why the battery kept draining out.

Removing the r/r was the biggest pain in the ass cause I had to disconnect the rear shock from the top and move it out of the way just to reach a bolt on the bracket.

There would be no point. They took the FR platform as far as it can go. A "new" Viper could only ever be
A) slower than the old one
B) ungodly expensive
C) MR
If they made it slower, cool you just reinvented the challenger
If they made it more expensive, it would just get compared to the ZR1 and GTD and very unlikely be faster than either
If they made it MR, it wouldn't be a viper
>>
>>28969822
Yes. And that's a good thing. Stellantis can't do anything right. The nu-viper would be an ugly pigfat 6cyl hybrid and every viper fan would wish it had never come to be.

You probably don't take your car on track and even if you did, it'll be slow as fuck and burn through tires.

Yeah and 200 tw semi slicks are street tires too.
I, for one, have a daily ev car and a fun gas car to drive on the weekends or to track events. EV cars are genuinely fun to car imo, but don't trick/bait yourself into thinking you're hot shit driving on shitty all seasons and hitting the "twisties"
