So I don't understand either

2019-06-21 13:47:23 UTC  

kek

2019-06-21 13:47:29 UTC  

I'm gonna say that's the reason

2019-06-21 13:47:32 UTC  

it's a TWO SEATER

2019-06-21 13:47:42 UTC  

It's gay af

2019-06-21 13:47:54 UTC  

if you want armrests, bring a passenger... his knees are your armrests

2019-06-21 13:47:59 UTC  

To be fair though there isn't much on the road except for very specific locations

2019-06-21 13:48:05 UTC  

it has NO fucking suspension WHATSOEVER

2019-06-21 13:48:17 UTC  

The only place you'd spot 'a lot' of them is central Paris

2019-06-21 13:48:34 UTC  

Because it's nice to ride there and it'll be less of a pain to park

2019-06-21 13:48:35 UTC  

our police uses it at the prague airport for transport inside the hallways lmao

2019-06-21 13:48:37 UTC  

But that's it

2019-06-21 13:48:43 UTC  

Wow

2019-06-21 13:48:51 UTC  

Well that's a decent usage of it I guess

2019-06-21 13:48:54 UTC  

which is why this one is full blown police colored

2019-06-21 13:49:11 UTC  

I didn't drive this luckily

2019-06-21 13:49:14 UTC  

but a colleague did

2019-06-21 13:49:24 UTC  

he said he went over a speed bump at 25kmh

2019-06-21 13:49:38 UTC  

and his passenger (one of the event dudes) hit his head on the ceiling

2019-06-21 13:49:52 UTC  

Hahaha

2019-06-21 13:50:00 UTC  

Looks fun to zip around in

2019-06-21 13:50:03 UTC  

also lol

2019-06-21 13:50:13 UTC  

one thing I will give to the Zoe, though - it had proper EV tyres

2019-06-21 13:50:23 UTC  

which meant that even at 100km/h, you barely heard road noise

2019-06-21 13:50:51 UTC  

whereas the Kia eNiro was equipped with "normal" tyres, and even at 90 already you could hear the tire "whizzing"

2019-06-21 13:50:52 UTC  

Yeah that's one of the selling point of the Zoé, the whole "no noise inside" shit

2019-06-21 13:50:57 UTC  

on a highway it began to be annoying

2019-06-21 13:51:12 UTC  

but IMO you can really fix most of that with better tyres

2019-06-21 13:51:44 UTC  

But in all honesty though, right now it's still not that much interesting for me to buy an EV

2019-06-21 13:51:47 UTC  

Even second hand

2019-06-21 13:51:51 UTC  

this was fun too, a public beta test of Skoda Citigo EV

2019-06-21 13:52:07 UTC  

I had to sign an NDA to drive this lmao

2019-06-21 13:52:15 UTC  

suck my fucking balls, Skoda

2019-06-21 13:52:26 UTC  

I calculated an ROI (against a similar fuel operated vehicle) of like 5+ years

2019-06-21 13:52:42 UTC  

Never heard of this one, is it any good?

2019-06-21 13:52:57 UTC  

I'm gonna report u to skoda

2019-06-21 13:52:59 UTC  

back when I tested it, it was still unreleased officially and this was one of the like 6 cars produced for testing with companies who could potentially be customers

2019-06-21 13:53:19 UTC  

it also had no price tag and no real range estimates

2019-06-21 13:53:32 UTC  

but as a city-shitbox or a pizza delivery vehicle it would work extremely well

2019-06-21 13:53:36 UTC  

sadly the pricing is way too high imo

2019-06-21 13:54:05 UTC

Škoda, a Czech automaker owned by Volkswagen, has unveiled today the Citigo iV, an all-electric city car that is expected to cost **less than $20,000.**
