The cutesy b.s. like lack of manual door handles and climate / volume controls, and no driver gauges console are EV inspired āinnovationsā that need to go away really fast.
Lexus doesnāt even have manual door latches anymore. Itās an electric switch, and thereās no moving part, it just scans to see if your hand is on the lever. HATE.
Totally agree. Would much prefer the standard gauge clusters and buttons.
I am absolutely positive part of it is the giant display is actually cheaper than having all the needles and clusters and buttons and gauges and easier/quicker install.
clt says keep it simple, automakers
Thatās just Fn stupid. Why buy any EV sports caresque model at that price when a 4 door version run of the mill EV yields near identical performance for less and is more practical.
clt would buy a rivian over the ev charger 12/10 times
I tend to agree with the bottom video.
Believability?
600 mile range 
20 yr lifespan
9 minute charging 
The battery might can handle it but that is an F-TON of current to deliver that fast. The practicality is that itās too hot, etc. Even if they pulled off the chargers to do it, I bet their fail rate will be enormous.
Iād be curious what the 9 min charges it to. My buddy with an I3 said his āfull chargeā is actually like 75-80% and thatās how they get the long life.
Well those batteries do have reserve capacity, but as far as the %, that isnāt consistent. Some makes include the reserve in that calculation, others do not.
Thing to keep in mind is that this would be the first commercially viable solid state battery, and that tech alone is a game changer.
This posts encapsulates exactly how I feel.
I can live in the future with an electric drive train and advanced technologies but I want tactile interfaces with the car.
Of course I consider cars like this to be some of the finest examples of vehicle design of all time.
Give me some classic car design anytime.
Speaking of snakes in Florida: 
And now back to EVs ā 
10K RPM 
Not a fan of the paddle shifters but this car seems pretty close to perfect
U.S. Navy gets it.
Touch screens suck. Iām glad my ioniq 5 has a fair amount of actual buttons, and most of the other features I use (like heated seats) only one tap on the screen.
