  1. After going to (and very much enjoying) the #LAAutoShow, I feel like a rough paraphrase of an old trope applies:

    “Psychotics design modern luxury cars. Neurotics drive them.”

  5. I went to the #LAAutoShow and was surprised a #CorvetteC8 was open to sit in with no one waiting. I got in and closed the door, got some video and got comfortable (and it’s very comfortable).

    As I was about to get out, I saw no handles to open the door with — only various buttons I couldn’t identify, many of them low on the door so I couldn’t read them anyway. I asked someone outside to open the door for me, and they tried, but it was locked.

    I started to wonder if I was trapped, when I noticed one button had a small lit LED. I pushed it and it went out, and the button next to it then lit its LED. I asked the guy outside to try again, and it opened.

    Car manufacturers, handles work perfectly well. The Fiat 500e, even though it’s a #BEV so it should inherently have really stupid features like Teslas and Volvos and KIAs have, has buttons on the inside unfortunately, but it’s easy to find.

  10. @Slashgear @autonomous-driving-Slashgear I also saw the Cybercab #EV today at #LAAutoShow and had the exact same (bad) impression. Is this a joke?

  15. This is a concept of a possible new version of the Genesis GV60 #EV at the #LAAutoShow. It looked really cool, but I don't think I'd want to actually drive around in something so orange. I think I'll stick with my silver GV60.

  20. The future is almost here - here is a NACS (Tesla) port on a Hyundai Ionic 5 #EV at the #LAAutoShow. This car was built in their new Georgia factory. They are not selling this quite yet but this is a production car.

  35. A little late (I've been traveling), but I finally posted an illustrated report on #alternativefuel vehicles at the 2023 #LAAutoShow a couple of weeks back. #ElectricVehicles had pride of place in many manufacturers' displays! altfuels.org/events/autoshow/l
