Between the EV3, EX30, R3, and little Jeep EV, I’m hoping that small EVs change some American minds about car size and reverse some of the arms race. They still aren’t small small, but at least they aren’t an F150 or Suburban.

A purpose built skateboard chassis is still good for a low center of gravity, bigger battery capacity, and ease of manufacturing, but I would gladly pass on a lot of bells and whistles and “luxury” features.
Rocket Lab, Stoke, and Relativity are all trying!
I’m a Blue Origin hater, too. They pretend to be an old space prime by buying their way into a market but not having done anything. They don’t have the drive, efficiency, or fun redeeming qualities of startups.
For rockets, I would rather see Stoke pull off Nova and Rocket Lab build Neutron.
For space stations, I’m rooting for Vast and Gravitics.
For space tugs, go Impulse.
For moon landers, BO copied SpaceX’s homework, so go Intuitive Machines and Astrobotic.
Not Grande enough for Americans. Maybe we’ll get the Venti Panda or Trenta Panda.
I won’t be able to afford it, but I’m still glad they’re electrifying toys for rich people. Every source of pollution and noise that gets taken off the road is a win by me.
That’s still only a $15-20k car
And neither will we
Only if the Polish trucker convoy lets you through
Award voters affecting salaries is still weird, but this works out for the Sixers. There’ll be a lot of guys around the league giving way less bang for the buck.
I respect the first part, but it seems like a niche audience that would care about materials sourcing. The battery health history is interesting. Service logs are one thing, but real data to show how hard it’s been charged and driven is cool.
I don’t think it’s a complete deal breaker if the company can be trusted to make decent software (Tesla, Rivian?) but for companies like GM and VW…
I hope it’s the size of the Avenger or R3. Something that size and shape with some ground clearance could fully replace my ICE car for camping and hiking in the mountains.
Don’t forget about luxury! There are so many fun new features (that surely won’t break) to get around how bloated cars got, how bad their sightlines are, and how lazy drivers are.
bitching and flopping
I mean, you said it right there
Kyrie has also burned a lot of bridges
Reducing part count and vertically integrating makes more sense to me than asking suppliers to charge less money.
Mandate cab over trucks
Anything small and reasonably low is so much more fun on twisty roads than a big jacked up lifted truck or jeep or whatever. I hate catching up to trucks in my crossover and getting stuck behind them on what should be a super fun mountain road.
A want a dumb truck. I hate all the extra electronics that add cost and failure points. Bring the Hilux to the US! Or, even better, Kei trucks.
