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.

That's how I felt when I got the Volvo. I think Volvo have just the right amount of minimalist without feeling cold. This occured to me probably at least 10 years ago sitting in one at a car show every year, not considering actually buying one. . Relaxing and not stressful when in traffic. Tuned into 91.1 Jazz FM (you can get it on Tune In or any internet radio app, it's a unique to North America, Toronto based station). I didn't go plug in since I will probably move this year not sure what will be available in the future.

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.

Ok, fair point. It's all redneck.

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 see multiple per day including the one someone owns at my apartment complex, which is wrapped matte black (gross) and as of the other day they put multiple cheap-looking roof racks on it.

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.
