RE: Nobe

It would be a nice partner to the top end Cybertruck though. A little Zing for the Cybertruck’s Zang.

The city car for daily drive, Cybertruck for road tripping.
Might even fit in the CT bed?

I just don't wat to buy another ICE vehicle. We have a Mini Cooper that is 9 years old now and I want to start suggesting EVs that she might like. This one seems like the most likely. Ascetics are important. I think that was what was a real draw for me on the CT.
How about the EV mini? For the average daily driver, it might work. TFL bought one and they seem to like it.

The thing I don’t like about Mini in general is they are no longer particularly “mini”.

Love the classic Minis, not so much the newer version of the brand.

The Nobe is definitely more mini than the Mini.

We have a 2013 Mini now. I looked at the Mini E and was not impressed. 30k for a ev with a 114 mile range , clock that as abut 80 usable range is a recipe for range anxiety. The 160 mile range is better. i hope they come out with a better battery, Maybe license the new Tesla Battery tech?

If Tesla is licensing battery tech, I hope they solicit Arcimoto, Nobe, and Aptera before BWM and the Mini.

Nobe 100 GT Pre-Order
$250.00

From the beautiful, comfortable interior to the classic flair of the exterior, the Nobe 100 GT has it all.
  • Range: 160 miles
  • Wheels: 19″ or 21″
  • Top speed: 90 mph
  • Weight: 1,650 lbs light
  • Max Power: 190kw
  • Air Conditioning
  • Battery : 25kw
  • Unparalleled Safety
  • Panoramic Sunroof
  • Software Updates
The Nobe GT 100 will be priced at $39,997. There will be a limited number of Nobe’s produced every year once production begins. A pre-order puts you in line to be one of the first to go light and drive happiness with Nobe.
It's nice to see there are options. If you want a vehicle with no pizzaz, range or mojo, this is what you should get. Frankly, I thinks it's ugly. It doesn't imply sexy from any angle. I just looks like some manufacturer decided to take a design from the sixties and stick an electric motor and battery in it. Now people can be embarrassed to be seen in this thing in the 2020's, too. Yuck.
