Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones.
Vodulas@beehaw.org 2 weeks agoThe all had 200-250 mile ranges. Less than 320, but fine for most folks. Now there are so many good EV options, the only downside is cost nowadays. We need a good, compact, inexpensive EV with decent charging speeds. The Bolt almost does that, bit the charging speeds are real slow

The Slate seems like it’s almost there, but the range still kinda sucks. Telo looks promising too, but it has the same vaporware scent about it as the Aptera so who knows if it’ll ever happen.

I feel like the Telo has more bonafides than the Aptera. At least one of the founders has shipped a car in the past (original Tesla Roadster). Slate has Amazon backing, so will probably happen, but also Amazon…

Oh shit, I didn’t know that about Telo. That gives me a little more hope about it, though it still doesn’t have the same draw to me as the Slate does, Amazon involvement notwithstanding. Honestly, with how simple the Slate is, I’m curious how Amazon would even exert the same control over their vehicles as Tesla does (but not curious enough to want to find out, of course).

Yeah, one of the founders is from OG Tesla. Still not putting a deposit, but makes me more optimistic.
