Too expensive. Not owner repairable. Too much unnecessary tech baked in.
There’s a path forward for EV’s, but I don’t think the current philosophy is it.
Dacia spring has no unnecessary tech 😍 and is cheap
But, it is small 😂🤷🏻♀️ big enough for my family, at least.
Coming to the US never
😂 I don’t plan to go to US anytime soon
Me neither, but this is an article about Americans.
True that..
Just hope you're never involved in an accident, Dacias (both EV and ICE) have abysmal safety ratings.
I know 😇 and thank you for that good wish ❤️
I already had an accident, where someone drove into the back of my car. Luckily nothing happened to me and his endurance paid me for a new Spring 😁
Cost of repair would have be been about half of the price of the car itself. But I know, that the endurance somehow sold my wreck after all (had forgotten to disable tracking and was able to see the location of the old car 😂)
