This vehicle is great for urbanites though.
With a garage and access to an electrical outlet?
That’s going to be expensive

It needs an outlet. Not necessarily a garage.
If you park on the street, you are going to have to use the public charging network or charge at work, at the mall, or in a parking garage.

That’s my point. If you park on the street, you won’t be able to charge your vehicle at night.
The only people that could, are the people who have parking garage access, which is expensive.
I’d also worry about getting access to an outlet in the garage.

This makes sense as a Suburban commuter car, but not a city car.

In parts of New York or Chicago, yes. But a lot of those folks don't own a car anyways.

bet the electricity works in San Diego or San Francisco.
LMAO they have rolling blackouts every year during the summer.

Texas is having rolling blackouts in sub-freezing temperatures because they are having trouble with the grid, again without over 8 million electric cars.
You can go down the list, and see how many cars you'd expect to replace. And then figure in that they don't like fossil fuel or nuclear power, so there's probably going to be some similar push in the overall energy field
We don't have enough juice in times like this now. Where's all the extra electricity going to be generated? Oh yeah, "you can just plug it in. If there's an outlet, it will have power. Just like if you plug in a TV in the house"
Like it's all smoke and mirrors, you run some wires to the house, flip the lever, and things magically light up.
I just don't think this technology AND INFRASTRUCTURE is mature enough to implement on a wide scale, certainly not as a complete replacement for internal combustion in the next couple of decades. It sounds wonderful to imagine, but we're not there yet.

Only read a few pages in this thread but here are my takeaways:
1. This vehicle has no real target user base other than EV queers.
2. Goofball is queer as a three dollar bill in a EV.
3. EV designers looked at communist architecture to inspire their vehicles.
4. I can't take any automobile seriously when it shares a name with a disney movie.
5. People have no idea how power is created, transferred or used in this country much less the cost involved

You left out all the costs of creating the electricity to charge your car. There are costs/fuels/byproducts of generating electricity (which is lossy) and then trasmit it to your house (which is lossy) and charge your battery (more loss) and then convert it again to kinetic energy (driving, also lossy).
EV's aren't a miracle.
I didn't leave it out. It simply wasn't part of the discussion.
And gas doesn't magically appear in your tank. It has to be extracted, transported, refined, and transported again - all require significant amounts of energy. Not a gas hater, but if we're comparing Apple's to apples...
The grid is about 94% efficient. Everything else you mention is highly dependent on specifics.

I'm waiting for the organic, non-GMO, Vegan version.

I wouldn’t drive that if it was AWD, had a supercharged 6.2 and would suck my nuts going down the road

Nah. Too much riff raff at those places.
I only get gas at Costco. No riff raff allowed
