Exactly!!!

Yup, that’s it. Take up as much space as I can.

If the Bloor lanes get removed. I’m going to do that pool noodle thing for safe passing and take the lane every time.

To gather more votes from the majority of the electorate who drive into the city.

Bike lanes only serve those who live in Toronto and those people don’t vote for these clowns anyways. Hell, even people who never drive where there are bike lanes will like this to give the middle finger to all the people who bike in the city.

Yeah, apparently paying for a service you use and enjoy is stupid or something. 🤷‍♂️

I just pay for YouTube premium family. We all get add free YouTube. Plus music which we all use. It’s a great value and no hastle. More money goes to creators this way as well.

Angry upvote.

The CEO of the company that fired me consistently goes up on stage and talks about the transformative power of AI. The company does not use AI for shit.

Something like 43% of all marriages in the US end in divorce. Take into account that many people who want to, can’t due to economic or societal reasons so the number of unhappy marriages is well over half.

Hyundai seems to be the top choice right now. They have the best combination of value, features, technology and reliability.

The Ioniq 5 is, at least where I live in Canada, is on a perpetual waitlist (except for the base 2wd model nobody wants). I’m personally waiting for the Ioniq 7 to replace my rusting Outback.

Agreed.

Audi: too expensive, poor reliability Subaru/Toyota: released a shit compliance car.

Again, overpriced junk. My point is that it’s not that nobody wants EVs. It’s that nobody wants the crap these makers are selling.

It goes hand in hand with the prices. If you’re going to spend that much more on a BEV, you want it to be different. And making it look different doesn’t cost significantly more.

Also, car shape and style has so much to do with ICE vehicle design necessity.

I disagree on Tesla. Their minimalist interface is a huge turnoff.

Yes, availability in the US is much better. You can find a base ioniq 5 here easily now, but nobody wants those. Everyone wants the long range AWD.

I test drove the mach-e and really liked it. And it has a surprisingly large amount of storage due to the well designed frunk. The California edition has more than enough range for me. However, the abysmal charging speed has me worried about battery condition. If it’s that slow to charge it means the battery isn’t good under load.

Rivian and Lucid are exclusively luxury brands. Not shocked that they’re having a hard time pushing cars over 100k CAD. I don’t think they’re atracting the same media attention either.

Oh yeah, forgot that one. Way too small for me, but a really nice car. If the Polestar 3 wasn’t so stupid expensive, I’d love to get that.

I’m in the market for a BEV. Have been for 3 years. The reason I don’t have one is:

A. The cars that are large enough for my use case (weekend getaways with kids and or friends) are all super expensive luxury vehicles with poor ratings.

B. Availability. Other than the Mustang Mach-E, nothing is available here (Canada) without a minimum 6 month wait list. (Ioniq 5 is 1 year).

C. Poor reliability and/or features. (See the disaster that is the Chevy Blazer EV).

At this point I’m waiting for the Ioniq 7. Hopefully it will be as well reviewed as it’s sister the EV9.

The reason GM and Ford are not selling well is because nobody wants what they’re selling. But they’re framing it as an general EV issue and not a crap product issue.

The media and those apposed to EVs are buying it of course.
