    Exactly that. These small EV companies need to ask someone outside their circle of friends if their car is pig ugly or not.

    First the Think City and now the Coda are both of erm, how do I say this politely, of unusual design. Make Think was weird and the Coda bland and ugly. Who in their right mind would pay that money to drive something that wouldn't look out of place on some third world city street?

    This news really sucks for the EV transportation vehicles; and all boils down to the wrong battery providers. The dominoes effect..........

    The allure of paying top dollar to drive what looks like a taxi from a failing 3rd world country?

    In the long run it's good for the EV industry, it got one incompetent sleazy company out of the business of sucking up investors money.

    Actually the Coda was based on a 15+ year old Mitsubishi sedan with the added advantage of having been built in China.....OK, I get you point.:ROFLMAO:
