This about sums it up, doesn't it?

It's always something. This is why auto companies aren't building cars for these people: they have lots of opinions, but don't actually buy cars.

Wtf are you talking about? I said budget sedan. Bolt is not a sedan. It doesn't compete with vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, which have much lower drag coefficients and consequently significantly longer range despite comparable battery sizes.

You're generalizing, and it is disingenuous.

I'm talking about things exactly like this: "these cars don't compete because one you put the luggage in the trunk!"
