@matthewcooley1571 Wow, what is going on in the US with Kia prices? The Niro EV starts at $69,995 NZD here, the Model 3 starts at $75,900. The top of the line Niro is $75,990, the top of the line Model 3 is over $110,000 - so the Niro is much cheaper here - and indeed you see that on the roads - I'd see 2 or 3 Kia and Hyundai EV's for every 1 Model 3. I'm guessing it'll be Orange Man tariffs at play in the US making them so much pricier?

@m4d_mark_xtr3me79 Punitive tariffs don't work in the modern globalised economy - unfortunately the orange dude doesn't understand economics - or anything else really - oh well, sucks for US manufacturers and consumers I guess - at least the US economy seems to be resilient enough to weather the stupid for now. Agree, buying an EV thinking you are saving the planet is retarded - it can make sense economically for some people, but thinking you are in any meaningful way decreasing your environmental impact is pure delusion. Sadly Elon Musk is happy enough to try and sell that spin even though he no doubt knows better.
