This is pretty much exactly what I have been demanding.
Bring it to the USA.

This could be a game changer if it’s sold in the US.
According to Wikipedia this car is made in South Korea. Sounds like it charges about as fast as a Chevy Bolt.
“There is an on-board charger which accepts AC power at up to 11 kW; the vehicle also can connect to a DC source at up to 120 kW, at which rate either battery will recharge from 10 to 80% in 30 minutes.”
Are those Hyundais with that battery subscription stuff or are they a all in one, one time payment?
It would surprise me if there was a battery subscription, at least none of the articles mention something.
Under 20k would be very appealing, tbh.
It’s low cost because it siphons user data to sell to corporations
All cars do that.
(I don't like that either)
That's been looked into. While they are all doing that, they're getting stupidly little money for it. Not near enough to subsidize the cost of the car.
I don't get why they are doing it then.
I really want a dumb car, it only needs a forward and backward gear, it needs a speedometer and a battery indicator and maybe a AC. Nothing else.
I would pay more for less shit inside the car. A car that can be remotely controlled is horrible.
Because in the US CEOs are required by law to do everything they can to increase profits.
They're not required by law to push such offensive stuff that people stop buying from them.
If it makes more money they are.
"More money" is relative as doing long-term damage to a company is less profitable than one or two good quarters. It's not as cut and dry as you think it is.
Oh so they're invading their driver's privacy and selling the information to pretty much anyone just for a few bucks then. The stuff they're doing can be life ruining.
Every single car company does that
the byd seagul EV is half this price and with similar specs; calling this hyundai low cost feels farcical.
Tbf China has a lot of problems with subsidies and labor rights, so it makes sense for Hyundai's stuff to be more expensive, but yeah I doubt it'd lead to double the price.
Only half the price if you compare it to the price when sold in China. When the dolphin is sold in western countries like Poland they go for €30k. Which means this is even cheaper than the dolphin.
that's the price i would pay if my government didn't impose tariffs to prevent people from buying them.
