    Nice looking car

    Thank you for saving our environment.

    No, I don't think at all that I'm doing something for the environment. If you add all the various effects together, the car is at best neutral compared to a traditional car. I'm just an above-average-earning leech who profits from a highly subsidized car paid for, to a large degree, from taxes by people who could never afford a car like that.

      Your self-awareness is admirable.

      Congratulations, by the way.

      When do you take delivery?

            OK, now that the car is settled, can we get some emojis that aren't embarrassing to use?

              How about the undefined emoji?

              What do you think, undefined?

                  I'm just curious, what is the cost to replace the battery? I've heard for most EV's it's much more than to replace a gas engine.

                  Your new car looks really nice! Very stylish. Give us a report after you drive it a bit.

                    My impression is that nobody wants to say this aloud but the plan seems to be to dispose the whole car together with battery.

                        Did you trim with options, eg AWD, wireless charging, blind-spot monitors, etc?

                          Nope. We took only the basics. Which already contains a lot in a Hyundai.

                                Doesn't look like a car I'd want in Chicago, or Germany for that matter.

                                I'd also have trepidation about buying a car from Alibaba.
