While not a motorhead, I don't think there's anything wrong with a Tesla pick, it's solid. For me personally, Tesla's tablet dash is just a no-go for me. I still blindly reach over to various controls every now and then and just do it by feel alone. You can't safely do that in any car that only has a display for a dash. At least the Canoo has capacitive buttons (gross, but they're buttons).

Fisker Ocean is pretty great, but I'm not convinced they'll be available to really buy and drive anytime soon. Also, I believe the first years production is only the high end version.. if you're looking for some value, you'll most likely find it at Fisker, it just may take a while.

What are the chances that the UK's Morris JE reaches production/delivery before Canoo? Granted, it's still in pre-(pre?)production and won't be mass produced - then there's the added import cost. The Van (and Truck variant) look pretty cool with that funky retro vibe.

@@axels8062 It is clear they haven't accomplished much of anything. They just opened the facility in OK and haven't even begun producing anything. Only thing this management team has done is spend A LOT of money and have nothing to show for it. They are now out again saying they need to raise more money. Anyone who follows the manufacturing prowess and timelines with Tesla knows it takes a while to setup a production line, sort out the issues before they can ramp. Canoo isn't even close to being there. Nothing good is going to come out of this. They aren't even a buyout target in bankruptcy since they have nothing but some patents to show for all that money spent. It is really sad.

I've been thinking of getting an EV when I finally decide to replace my current daily. I REALLY like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, The Tesla Model Y Long Range is good and it comes with the gold standard of fast charging networks. The Ford Mustang Mach-e ain't bad, but but I do have concerns about reliability. I've heard too much about VW's software problems to trust an ID-4 or ID Buzz. I'd definitely put the Canoo on my list if it were available. The good thing is that my daily has less than 30,000 miles so I have some time to see how things shake out before I have to put my money down. I'm still interested in seeing how things work out.

I'm still holding out for the Canoo LV. The schematics for the conversion are already done. Too bad it will take until at least late 2024 or a good day/month/year later? To quote George Michaels, I GOTTA HAVE FAITH. Then again, George Michaels is dead, so maybe my faith is misplaced. RIP, WHAM!. No RIP on the pink shorts, though. That was a bit out of control. If BYD and other lesser brands stepped up their game in the American market, things would change drastically. There's a completely untapped market from the Eastern front, even though we have distribution rights on the Western front. I understand there would be a pice bump, due to shipping costs and tariffs, but options are options. I'm still weighing said options. Maybe I'll just sell all and grab a velomobile. That's how jaded I am at this point. Some may think of me as being daft in having hope that unifying nations through transportation and global preservation could actually work. But wait. What? What is this Daft that you speak of? Daft Light on Daft in a pint with a lime? Sign me up! I'm not shy to admit that I love not knowing what I speak of, but I'll drink to it, along with whatever this floaty little pill is in my Daft.

Not a great time to be looking for a car in general I believe. I just had my 2020 bolt in for the recall repair on the battery, I got bombarded with phone calls about wanting to buy it from me from the dealership itself, or properly a call center that feeds off the dealerships data. There's just supply constraints all over the place. I'm hopeful that come. Maybe January next year I'll be able to get into an equinox EV that's a straight up across the line upgrade from my bolt. All-wheel drive, faster charging and upgraded range, plus it's available with some towing capacity. As much as I ever need to move anything by car, a rented U-Haul trailer is a meaningful substitute for a van or pick up for me who has a relatively small one car garage.
