I don't even know what to say.

I test drove the i3. It was...pleasant? Not fast. Kind of tall and tippy. No grip from the tires. Wouldn't buy one.

The regen is nice, though. Nice to be able to come to a full stop just by lifting off on the accelerator.

What the heck is that ?

Looks like a hipster in skinny jeans, to me.

Is that fake turf under the rear seats?

It's like a parody of a car for millenials.

I like the i3. :eeps:

Sure it doesn't have any decent dynamics to speak of, and it's pretty terrible to look at, but it reminds me of driving around in a golf cart, which is a hoot - so there's that.

I found the i3 an entertaining drive. Yes, tall but definitely rear-biased and torquey for an econo-box. And also an overall warm vibe from not being surrounded by metal.

The concept? Yuck.

It's moss.

It's literally moss.

I can't even.

I can't even.

Have you never gone barefoot in moss? Nothing is more comfortable on naked toes.

Have you never gone barefoot in moss. Nothing is more comfortable on naked toes.

But the moss is under the seat, not on the floor… :dunno:


I found this article on the ///Moss ///Mobile:

In that case, bring on the moss floormats!

One look at the guy in the driver's seat tells you all you need to know about that ... "car" ;)
