I just want an electric car :( but the Tesla's are too expensive.
I might end up buying Chinese cars
domestically you can get a base 2025 chevy ev blazer for around $27k while the ev rebate lasts. 300+ mile range with decent fast charging. I was really looking forward to getting one in the next 2-3 years but then dondi mcshytegibbon got elected and is killing not just the ev tax credit but the grant money to build out a dc fast charging infrastructure too. I might have to look at the plugin hybrid market instead when I really want to go fully electric.
Where I'm from it's stupid to make your primary vehicle 2WD. Too bad.
We really need small, efficient, 4wd trucks on the market.
Telos Truck, should launch later this year.
350 miles
0-60 3.5 seconds
5ft bed
Folds backseats so can fit 8ft sheets of plywood
Length of a mini cooper.
Think the 4wd 500hp model is like 46,000

Do they not plow snow in Canada or what's up?
We get a lot of snow (and ice) in Estonia too, but so far nobody I know has had problems because of 2WD. Except those living in the countryside if you get like half a meter of snow overnight and have to get through it somehow without plowing it first. But then you're better off owning a tractor or having good relations with your tractor-owning neighbor.
It helps that winter tires are mandatory and studded winter tires are allowed between about October and April.
I live in a city in Canada where it's too cold to snow a lot of the time and I agree with you that winter tires make a huge difference, but I love my AWD when there's a big dump of snow or big ruts in the road. Guess it depends how well your roads are maintained.
Also extra non sequitur: have you played Disco Elysium? It's made by some people from Estonia and it's probably the best game I've ever played in my life.

I live in a city and my street is not plowed, nor many side streets. Also RWD vehicles slide out when they lose traction, unlike FWD which it's less likely.
Domestically? But my country does not make cars :(

Hyundais are very good EVs
He should sue her, like he did when companies didn't want to advertise on twitter anymore.
