How did they let these die? They’re so stylish, we should bring them back immediately except with solid state batteries that can let them drive 200+ miles and charge in 5 minutes.
Those older cars with the huge windows and great visibility handled rollover accidents by crushing the heads and necks of everyone inside.
At some point we decided the passenger cabin shouldn’t be the primary crumple zone, so you can’t make cars like that anymore.
Also, it probably has a top speed in the neighborhood of 30mph.
The low speed may have been that car’s only safety feature.
You wouldn’t want to go 30 in that thing. You’d feel like you’re in a rock tumbler.
Especially given the state of the roads at the time.
Assuming you’ve even got a road lol
I’d buy that.
Like this thing
You killed 3 fish and made a retiree not able to pay her utilities for that picture. Proud of you.
Tell that to the fucking billionaires, not me.
You’re fucking using it. That’s like getting diabetes by eating shitloads of McDonald’s and blaming McDonald’s for it. Or a bartender blaming Phillip morris for second hand smoke.
I already don’t eat beef, own an electric car, and don’t have kids. Stop pointing at me as if I’m the problem. You don’t know shit about me, don’t tell me what to do.
I think one of these except more modern with all the advanced necessary features would actually be awesome.
But we gotta keep the 1920s car design. You csn put a modern battery, and bluetooth, and inputs for auxilery audio devices, and modern stereo syatem, and gps, and all this other stuff…but we gotta keep the old car vibe.
Nah buddy, 30’s design is where it’s at, look at this thing:
Honestly, people love to shit on the PT Cruiser but at least it tried to be a little different - arguably in a cool retro way!
The PT Cruiser looked amazing.
I’d be very happy if more manufacturers took similar style risks.
Buuuut, apparently we get the
swasticarcyber truck.This is why most cars these days are black, white or grey. “We don’t want something someone WANTS to look at, just something that isn’t offensive to the eyes” (sports cars don’t count here)
I always knew that reading Donald Duck comic books would pay off one day, I’ve known about these since I was a child, that’s Grandma Duck’s car!
There were quite a few electric cars, they started in the late 1800s made by multiple companies. Shit they even had electric trains.
Honesty it seems like a decent car
I’m honesty surprised they managed to get 80 miles of range. That’s pretty much what you get with a older Nissan leaf
Yea it was an actually decent car. We went the easy route and fucked up the planet by choosing the internal combustion engine.
Combustion engines are way better
Only now are we even seeing electric cars that can complete.
If we spent 100+ years focused on electric it would be better.
The motors were fine. It was advances in battery tech that made pure EVs viable. Really, hybrids should have been a thing a lot earlier. Series Hybrid tech has been moving trains, ships and industrial equipment for decades before the Prius(Parallel Hybrid) hit the market.
That’s it. All my life, “smart” people would tell me that’s Solar power isn’t economically feasible, so we shouldn’t waste time on it, and I’d say it would become economically feasible if we spent real time on it.
Eventually, over all those years we’ve gotten to the point where it is literally the better choice in many ways, but we could have gotten there many years ago.
A lot of the tech powering electric cars was only invented recently
I don’t think so
Try going on a long distance trip somewhere and then get back to me.
These days it is a little more doable. However, you still have to wait for your car to charge.
And that’s ignoring the wear on the battery from fast charging
BS. It took a genius the level of Elon and his superior genetics to think of putting an electric motor in a car.
