Rode for hours with my sister in her brand new Rivian pickup truck over the weekend. I’m sold now on getting an electric car next. The Rivian is really really nice. But why don’t have a model that isn’t fucking huge? The energy efficiency is wasted on all that mass.

Anyhow, what are the better car-sized #ev models out there these days? #electriccar

@beckett @jalefkowit I have an Ioniq 5 and mostly like it. I think k it’s the best thing out there right now.

It has some downsides (one of which is that you really want the 2025 or later, another is some pointed reliability issues — hit my friend, but not me).

But it’s a solid medium size, good but not spectacular range, modern tech (including Apple key stuff), and is overall just a good car.

I would not trade it for anything else on the market right now. And I don’t really see anything coming down the pike that’s better, although I am sure there will be soon.
