Since last night and this morning, I've been checking EV cars & I must say, Hyundai Kona looking nice... but $36k. it's almost same price as Model 3.

Difference is you can't actually get a Model 3 for $36k.

So, I jumped out to show her how to do it. I told her that ya gotta hit the button, run real fast, then duck under the closing door while jumping over the tripper beam. Well, somewhere in there I slipped on the wet concrete and down I went. No PLF or combat roll, just straight down - slam!

My granddaughter was NOT impressed. Now I'm sitting here with a sore shoulder and a sore hip. So, I reckon it's time to drug up and take an early nap.

Plus with the Kona (and the Mach E) you still get the full Federal Tax rebate.

If it's between those 3 models for me the Model 3 is a far distant 3rd at best.

The Kona edges out the Mach-E because it has the more standard cabin/cockpit configuration.

Please you don't ever have to repair an electric car. Just replace the batteries every 2 years for $10k...

im not so sure between the Kona and the mach-e

both Jonny Lieberman and dave Frieburger absolutely hate the idea they named it the mach-e. but both admitted without the name it has the possibilty to be a good source of income for ford, and that just means better more bad ass vehicles like a bronco "tremor" and the various mustangs.

I feel the same way about it. i wanna try it out before I put my badge of distain on it.


move conversation to ----> Mach-E forum



but yes. between the three I would figure the Kona is probably most familiar and accessible.

While true, I've heard that there might be other unintended consequences.

I don't know which is more ego deflating for me - falling down or backing into things -

i wanted a kona for commuting for a little while. they look decent, and i've got too many 2-seaters in my life, i could use a 4-seater from time to time. then i looked up the options. the non-removable radio started the downward slide, it increased pace with the lack of a clutch pedal, and it completely ended at the price tag.
