“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.
Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.
If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.
Do you have the EV Mini? I looked into them a while ago but wasn’t thrilled about the idea of buying their first attempt at an EV.
It’s a Subaru Soltera. I only have 3 complaints about it. Other than this I absolutely love the car.
So just the regular gas Mini Cooper?
Yeah, sorry I misread the question. The mini Cooper is gas, I didn’t even realize they were shipping the EV version yet.
No worries. Yeah the 2 door EV Mini Cooper has been for a couple years now. I just checked and it looks like my local dealership has a few of the 4 doors as well, which they weren’t even making the last time I looked. So those must be brand new. Never actually seen one in person though.
Those first two things sound like bugs, to me, and something that could be quite easily fixed by a software update, I would think.
As for the qi charger, in my experience these are very often crap/slow in cars. I don’t know why that is.
They definitely are bugs. There’s a forum for Soltera owners, I’m not the first one to bring it up.
