They keep teasing it over and over. AGH. It kills me! Like every year a new bunch of articles pop up to generate clicks. I can never tell when it's real! Lol
And I thought I was CRAZY for thinking "Could I EV convert it?" (Could fix stuff with YouTube. Not a mechanic.)
Well, now I see converting cars becoming a big thing. But sadly I screwed up the whole engine by snapping a 10mm gooseneck bolt deep in some crevice deep down in there, and it was leaking oil, and I had to sell it for scrap because we needed to get to work. Tragic. I got almost 200,000 miles out of it. :( :(
...at least now I know how a new very simple way to sabotage a vehicle hardcore in a way no mechanic or machinist would dare bother with it. (Ask me how I know Lol)
Maybe that Element EV will be a thing. I know EVs like to chase high efficiency / low drag but they need to not be afraid to be boxy for the right audience instead of jelly beans! XD
Haha well it didn't have much of a reputation for efficiency, did it? I heard it would come back as a hybrid though, which might be cool if they can pull it off without sacrificing too much interior space.
Hahaha yeah, it was a bit of a brick! 😂 25MPG on a good day wasn't bad though.
But I mean hey, if Rivian can make those gargantuan Amazon vans electric, I'm sure Honda could figure it out for us. 😉 With enough infrastructure, range is pretty negotiable!
Might just have to raise the interior floor a bit to fill it with battery or make the hood space a little less snubby. :p
Would be super cool though. I'd be all over that haha.
