Doesn't mention the weight anywhere does it :lol:
Then again I think on a SUV or a car where handling isn't the most important thing a bigger battery is far more useful for longevity. Compared to something with a smaller pack you put on fewer cycles for the same mileage, phantom drain is less of an issue vs total pack size, battery degradation and cold weather loss becomes less of an issue too.

It’s not even notably high these days - look at the Fisker. Which is a lot cheaper.

I followed a Fisker the other day and thought it looked smart and more compact than I'd imagined. I liked it.

Shame the name sounds like slang for female masturbation.

It does genuinely look good - and sensibly priced compared to the competition, with a sensible range because it has a big battery.

Looks like a Chinese rip off of the new Defender. I prefer the way the electric G Wagon does its on the spot turns.

That’s very GTA. Do you think it can right itself if you roll it too?

Yes! Well the Jeep definitely is fake, no front plate, fake shadows, doesn’t reflect light off the BYD…

Amazing tech! Ideal for people who drive the wrong way in car parks. I'm waiting to see what it can do when all four wheels are on McD's trays.
