For your consideration:

The Olympian Model 84 EV.

Available only to residents of NY and CA.

Base price is $100,000. Deliveries planned to start in Q2 2024.

Looks like a 1970's Ford Bronco and a burial casket had a baby.

I mean, looks a little quirky, but an amphibious EV? That's revolutionary.

I think that thing looks a lot better than a lot of vehicles on the road today.

Maybe I'm the odd one here, but I'd drive it. I would not, however, pay $100k for it (or any vehicle). It says $70k on your link though.

150 mph top speed and 335 mile range and the interior is DOPE:

Electric vehicles produce more emissions than gasoline vehicles

Meh, it's not even as stupid looking as the Cyber Truck. Might come out sooner too.

Seating people in the bed? How did that pass muster?

I think the thing I hate the most is the stupid number on the side, but I think that's a pretty badass EV otherwise.

Who buys this shite?

How do people function with car notes that come from prices like that?

The oil and gas industry absolutely loves electric vehicles. More natural gas is being burned than ever to charge these pieces of shite

Weird, that link says $70K but the PR says $100K. Maybe the website hasn't caught up to their accounting people.

Surely you realize generating electicity at a power plant is more efficient than burning fuel in an ICE vehicle?

The mining and refining of ore to produce one Tesla battery produces more emissions than a Honda Accord will emit over 100,000 miles. Then you have to burn natural gas or coal to charge the EV daily. It is a completely dirty process from start to finish
