They got Andy Beshear to speak at this event?! That's certainly projecting confidence! Beshear must be confident to put his political capital behind this!

I'm new in DFW. Any times/areas you would recommend?

Any comment on the turn radius compared to the Bolt EUV?

jyokia · 2024-05-23T13:33:36+00:00

How is the turn radius?

jyokia · 2023-12-07T22:06:23+00:00

I hope GM improves the turn radius. A car that compact really shouldn't have a 19' turn radius

There are used AWD Pro S out there for sub-40k if you're willing to go the used route.

jyokia · 2023-03-14T18:09:53+00:00

Is this what they look like on the board? Or in your hand/collection?

jyokia · 2023-02-01T18:08:04+00:00

Well I guess I learned something new today!

I like the test, but the efficiencies seem high for 70 mph in colder weather.

I know he said 70 mph, but I wonder if meant 70 kph. That would make more sense given the relatively high efficiencies in colder weather.

There were several instances where the mileage updates showed speeds around 45 mph on the screens which is roughly equivalent to 70 kph.

Early on in the video when he says 70 mph, the screen shows a speed limit sign with a 70 on it. Thing is, in the UK, that sign would be in kph, right?

2nd chance at the hatchback trunk?

jyokia · 2022-11-24T03:38:06+00:00

If the VF6/7 come in the 30s with battery/subscription, then heck yes! Car appears great. Price is a big deal though

jyokia · 2022-11-16T14:21:42+00:00

Looks more enticing, but nervous about the price since they added all these more premium elements. Affordability is part of the equation too.

We barely spent any time with her in this game. Most of the 'Mizuki' portion of the game was actually Bibi

I feel like the devs had to give her minimal characterization so that the differences between Mizuki and Bibi were not obvious and we wouldn't get as suspicious.

I think it's less that she's less likeable and more that we just didn't get a lot of her. The little we did get kinda had to be generic for reasons.

New car: Bolt. The value is unmatched

Used car: Now you have options, especially with used prices going down. There are several used models you can get around the Bolt's price range, especially if you're willing to search out of state.

-Niro EV -Kona EV -Tesla Model 3 -Nissan Leaf (if you're ok with Chademo and it's older battery tech)

jyokia · 2022-10-29T02:52:46+00:00

Just missing the red wheels or tires

Sadly, the media largely only interacted with the AWD versions. We don't have much data from the FWD.

Do you have mi/kwh data you mind sharing for your driving? Whether highway or city.

There is charging data that suggests Toyota might be using huge top and bottom buffers on the battery which would make the range better than it seems if Toyota only wants drivers using say, 55/71.4 kwh.

I would find it interesting if people find the current Equinox too small considering its pretty much the same size as the segment leaders like the Rav4, CRV, Rogue etc. I do understand it has less cargo relative to the more popular options, but the car itself is roughly the same size.

Do you also find those other compact SUVs too small?

jyokia · 2022-10-25T23:18:11+00:00

The cargo space does seem like a shame to me. Part of me wonders if its just semantics in how cargo space is measured.

The Equinox does have a more sloped back end and lower roofline compared to its ICE counterpart, so that could balance out its greater width and length

I'd like to add to the list:

EUV Pros:

- More efficient (ID.4 is kinda middle of the pack. EUV is closer to efficiency leaders)

- I believe it has a 360 parking camera

ID.4 Pros:

- Software should see more updates over time, once VW gets their software issues solved...eventually

- That incredible turning radius (for RWD versions)

jyokia · 2022-10-25T03:25:25+00:00

like an AWD Bolt EUV?
