Our home screens, desktop audio setups, document-saving models, what we hope to “experience” next week, and where not to aim snow.
Reid@marcoarment I actually find most car-shaped cars to be more comfy from a seating perspective. SUVs have that captains chair thing going on where I find I have more of a knee bend in a typical seating position.
That said, while I’m partial to German cars, I find the Japanese tend to have an even lower seating position.
jramskov@rconti @marcoarment @atpfm With BEV's it is a challenge to make car-shaped cars due to the battery raising the floor. It is possible though, the VW ID.7 for example is pretty good I think. As for BMW, it seems like everyone that's spent some time with the new iX3 are quite impressed, so I expect the upcoming i3 to be great. Also something leaked for the US market: https://electrek.co/2026/02/27/bmws-new-2027-evs-leak/
Jeremy@jeremyh @rconti @marcoarment @atpfm The exterior looks ok I think. I’m more critical of the interior.
Edit: Furthermore, it's got great range, fast charging speeds, drives well, quality seems good. I haven't seen many negatives so far, though perhaps a few more buttons would've been nice.
