Tesla has been an objective success-moving from relative obscurity to the world’s most valuable automaker in less than a decade. Some of that was certainly Elon’s hutzpah, but most of it was their technology platform being leagues above the rest. Another automaker based out of California tried to beat Tesla to market. They made a decent car, had a good manufacturing partner, but hit the market at the wrong time with the wrong price. Today, we talk about CODA and the CODA EV-the failed family sedan competitor to the Tesla Model S.

Now Robert knows what the coolant lines of a stock Coda look like. I'm starting to wonder how much of Robert's problems with his Coda is due to it being hacked back together from a CVT monstrosity.

No, I'm not sorry for saying this. Tesla's UI is problematic for multiple reasons. So is the Coda, _but_ this is what's important: it's familiar for veteran drivers. I'd frankly take a vehicle with _buttons_ all over the place where I would know what to press when driving than interacting with an oversized tablet.

@spicytuna62 Год назад

I wonder what Coda's profit margins on each sale were. If this car could be sold for 25k while keeping the company solvent, I could imagine a world where this car would have taken the mass EV market by storm while Tesla occupied the luxury EV market. At 25k, Coda sales would likely not have impacted Tesla sales. Lots of people really just wanted a car that was like their old car, but that ran on electricity. I also think that 40k price tag had some taxes added on. Like a greed tax and an early adopter tax. I think the two words to define this car are: "Wasted potential."

@aliozanerbektas Год назад

Not sure if you're gonna read this but I have some things to say about the current electric vehicles. They all are trying to be like tesla. Just like all other smartphones are trying to be iPhone. You don't need to be any of that stuff. You don't need to have cameras for mirrors, don't need to have big touch screens, onboard navigation which sucks btw because how slow and inaccurate them being sometimes, doors that open weird, or self driving mode etc. None of that. Take 1995 Honda Civic, remove ICE put Electric motor and put a decent range. That's literally it. You wouldn't need a giant screen and navigation display to find closest gas station, you would mpst likely use google maps for it or any other navigation app in your phone. Hence, you shouldn't need the same hardware to find a charging station. Complexity = Bad Be a 1995 Honda Civic Electric.

@marcusborderlands6177 10 месяцев назад

The issue with that approach is that nobody makes a 95 civic. Any new model car has a giant touch screen and complex internals. It's not an electric thing it's just a car thing.

@WyvernDotRed 11 месяцев назад

Arguably, the Tesla having a touch screen, which even gets changed on updates, is a major negative compared to the Coda. With simple buttons you can just reach and operate them on muscle memory, even while driving. Whereas with a touch screen, you have to look at the screen to see where you are tapping. If you manage to build muscle memory for it, an update can completely and irreversibly break this. For this, and the better battery chemistry, I'd have picked the Coda if given those two choices. Now I only consider cars with physical buttons operating the car's features, the entertainment unit should be separate and preferably upgradeable.

@Happymali10 Год назад

When talking about "first to market" it should be noted that the Mk1 Tesla Roadster is a modified/"EV-swapped" Lotus, not a ground-up development.
