Anyone have some good electric cars? (sh.itjust.works)

So I have always hated Tesla and don't like that they've in a lot of way tarnished the name of electric cars. The second you say electric cars every person and their mom says OHH you're getting a tesla! Quite annoying.

Anyways, I'd like to hear from some of you folks some models of electrics you like. I have always been a gearhead deep in the gas and oil, and I still enjoy my cars, but an electric would be fun and a cost savings for me, especially since I have a ton of roof space for solar panels if I wanted to.

It sounds superficial but a big reason I used to hate electric cars is they are for the most part, hideous. Then again, to me, most new cars are hidous, the designs are just not good. But I think i can look past that.

It would also be a huge bonus if there were any models out there with the least possible features. I prefer cars with manual locks/seats/doors and no screen, which is of course impossible with current cars (sadly). But the less digital garbage the better.

I have the mid range one but I believe the top model has AWD and so you get a lot more go from a standing start.

I have the top model and you really don't. The power doesn't really come on until you're doing like 30-40 kph, even in stupid spaceship sound mode with all the traction control off.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't find the data now but from memory the AWD model is supposed to do 0-100kph in about 4 seconds as opposed to the 7.5 or so of the FWD models, so I assumed you'd be able to feel the difference 😆.

It's apparently 0-60 in 5 seconds, but the Subaru Solterra does the same with half the horsepower. They may have changed it for 2025, but you can't melt tires on the 2024, trust me. Once the power comes on it rips, just not out of the hole

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Interesting that duel motors and AWD make hardly any difference! I'm quite happy with my single motor FWD performance, and it seems like they might be similar.
