The Heart of Joy is an ECU that combines both driving dynamics and powertrain control into one computer. Approximately eight-inches by eight-inches, the box will serve as the control module for the upcoming Neue Klasse electrified vehicles that will start rolling out later this year.
I just got a BMW iX a few months ago and love it, so I’m very excited for Neue Klasse. I’ve got a three year lease. I’d love to get another, smaller EV.
We have the i4. It’s our first nice car. We had a Prius that died and the trade in was excellent for it and the rebate we got on the new ev was hella. Sooo we got the i4. I was super against it but here I am, two years later. I love it. SIde note. I got to meet the engineer who made the color changing skin for the beemer that was the talk of the world in like 2022 (ish). She’s SO COOL. I fan-girled so hard.
It’s our first nice car.
Same. The only other car I’ve ever owned is a 2012 Mazda 3. I’m from Australia in an area with good public transport, and so I didn’t drive until I was 26 and living in the USA. Bought the Mazda 3 second hand for a pretty good price. The iX was a big upgrade!
Ive still got the Mazda, but when it stops working, I want to replace it with a small, sporty EV. I’m kinda sad we don’t have Chinese EVs in the USA, since cars like the MG Cyberster look pretty nice, don’t really have a US-made alternative, and are good value for the price (in Australia, it’s the equivalent of around US$72,000 including all taxes and fees). The range of cars is relatively limited (and expensive) in the USA.

I wonder if someone will come up with an ECU called The Heart of Gold…
We need more flowerpots turning into whales…
