It doesn’t seem that leftist to me. Are you a shrink? Or are you using some kind of folk diagnosis to determine she’s mentally unwell?
What kind of ideology strips individuals of the right of self determination to live and be called whatever they want? That’s what most civilized people call extreme.
Can you give an example of “valid” scare quotes? Or a definition even?
My data point: old Kona Electric vs new Ioniq 6.
Acceleration is faster, but not twice as fast. It does charge 40-50% faster though, and that is life-changing.
Not twice the range but 360 mi vs 220 mi is a huge improvement.
More than twice as comfortable, and that’s switching from the top of the line to the base model. Mostly due to better climate controls and a huge amount of legroom.
Both have 5 star Euro NCAP scores. But now the lane keep assist now works at any speed and there are more warnings about cars and other obstacles, so there’s a safety improvement.
And it’s not twice the price: the MSRP was cheaper!
