This could very well be a Tesla killer if it can be sold in the US. I’m sick of seeing swasticars everywhere.
Would be surprised if you can buy ANY EV in the US soon.
Why?
American Auto manufacturers are doing everything they can to stop Chinese EV from reaching the American market because they are cheaper which would take the market away from them.
Capitalists really hate capitalism when they’re not the ones capitalizing.

Cool. The less Tesla there is the better.
Measuring 5,060 mm long, 1,967 mm wide, and 1,483 mm tall, with a 2,960 mm wheelbase, the Formula S sedan is slightly bigger than the Tesla Model 3. The GT measures 5,025 mm in length.
Slightly? It’s bigger than an S class Mercedes.
At least it’s not van height.
I really do not understand extremely long cars. Like, maybe it’s just my Euro mind speaking, but isn’t the whole point of EVs clean and affordable short distance (for now) urban/city transport? How does the city part pair with a 5 meter long car?? And anyways, I hate the push for EVs under the guise that they should be used in cities - urban transportation should be done by public transport or alternative means, such as bikes and walking. Swapping usual cars for EVs doesn’t solve anything except for getting rid of the smoke pollution, which, ok, I admit, is not bad at all, but still…

No. It’s just a different type of engine. People didn’t start buying EVs just because they’re green and cheaper to drive. They buy them because it’s superior technology. A bit like how in RC hobby nitro buggies used to be the shit back when batteries still sucked but nowdays electric ones are much faster and more powerful. There’s no reason to buy one with a combustion engine unless you specifically like the mechanics and tinkering with it.
oh, then I suppose I had the different idea about it, didn’t think about it that way:D
They should be comparing to the Model S, which they were clearly inspired by.
I’d buy the hell out of that… If I could.
Something, something, “free market.”
The article lists Chinese prices. These are not going to be the ones seen in Europe most likely
You know, that’s a good point. Why wouldn’t you keep a small refrigerator in an EV?
A typical mini fridge uses about 0.4 to 1.2 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day,
Either a 77 or 92 kWh battery.
You can run the refrigerator for months without a charge, and of course only if something is in it.
Except for the whole slave labor bit, this is an amazing car.
This would be the ICE killer.
No one needs a refrigerator in a car
Few people need power windows, yet not a lot of hand cranks exist these days.
Speak for yourself. Having the ability to store and have cold drinks on a long trip is great. Even being able to keep things cold on the way home from the shops is advantageous.
Correct, but it sounds more useful than 99% of extras that cars have nowadays. Beach trips and car camping would be a use case that goes with the whole SUV theme that people seem to currently go for.
The Uber store does
You know, that’s a good point.
Where’s the original comment or article about refrigerators in EVs?
It’s in the linked article.
Oh right, missed it on my first skim through.
Nice
ModelFormula S.What an awkward looking vehicle. From the windscreen forward doesn’t really work with the rest of the car.
The front by itself looks great, and same for the back. So close to something amazing.
Not sure where you are from, but if from the US it could be because we don’t generally get hatchbacks that look kind of like that car. I always thought they looked awkward and ugly, but they kind of have grown on me since some neighbors have a Subaru hatchback and another one and Audi.
This seems like a good car but I don’t think it would be sold anywhere else because it would be eating up Seal’s sales. BYD really has to refresh it’s seal because it isn’t competitive anymore. It charges slowly, doesn’t have the reliable network as Tesla, and the software isn’t as good as Tesla’s when it comes to preconditioning batteries.
I really want a competitor to Model 3 but it seems like most companies are only interested in making SUVs.
