200 km range in the summer means 100 km in the winter. i live in finland and i frequently need to drive 100+km away from home. nearest ikea is 130 km away, relatives living in other cities, etc. i imagine it’s the same for a lot of people, not just in the US.
It’s a really low price, but it’s also an incredibly shitty car with terrible safety scores.
And terrible range. Advertises 300Km per charge. You’re lucky if you get 200
Not everyone lives in the US. In Germany, 70% of all distances traveled by car are only 10 kilometers or less.

US still just averages 65 kilometers per day.
Don’t assume everyone replying in a way you don’t agree with lives in the US. I am speaking from experience living in the Luxembourg/Germany area…
Even Germans take vacation to visit relatives and vacation homes. A range like that easily doubles a 200Km drive’s travel time.
It’s good if you don’t long-distance travel by car, or if you use it as a secondary car for work commutes. Then it’s perfect.
Hilarious.If there was any European who is closest to the American car ethos, it’s got to be the Germans. Those autobahns, man. :)
I knew that this argument would be the second possibility. German Reichweitenangst is strong with you, too it seems.
