I will say, I like the external design of the new M3 much better than the OG version. However, there is absolutely nothing about the interior I like.
Now that I've been living the "EV Life" for a month with my LYRIQ I'm loving it, but most of what I love the most is the interior luxury, the 33" wide electronic dash, and the response when I put my foot into it. Only the response has anything to do with it being an EV. (OK, admittedly charging at work for free and not having had to stop at a gas station in a month is nice too). I know at this point I will never own a Tesla and it's all about the minimalist interior.

Your full electric will pay for itself over a period of time. The vehicle itself will deliver better performance than gas, which is a bonus. But I have to say, my light hybrid gets decent mileage especially on the hwy and it's no lightweight either. Drag racing is out though.

Almost all racing is redneck in its origins, they just didn't all come from the US South. There are rednecks everywhere, and they all want to race in some form or another.
It all starts with some dude challenging some other dude to see who's car is fast on some type of course.

I finally saw one of these in person the other day....
It literally looked like a giant fridge (or the box the fridge came in) with wheels. It has absolutely no design to it. It also gives off the same vibe that an Ioniq5 does...it looks huge for what it is. such a dumb vehicle. |

I've been following the cybertruck crash in Cal that killed 3 college kids and seriously injured a 4th. Single car crash, engulfed in flames. Initially the fire department said they didn't think the battery was the cause of the fire because they were able to put it out quickly. Well, what else in a cybertruck would cause a giant fire?

Possibly a propane-based refrgerant in the on-board heat pump system the vehicle uses to heat and cool the cabin, batteries and charging system.
