5-8k for a car in this day and age? That's the price of a scooter

Citröen Ami.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

The Ami starts for substantially more than that.

And even then, it's not legally classified as a car. It has virtually no crash safety, a top speed of 28mph assuming no incline, and a real world range of 40 miles.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Ami, but it's a scooter alternative more than a car alternative.
