I was hoping they’d talk about some light weight EV sports car that handles well. Like an electric Miata.

No they want an iPhone on wheels compared to the iPhone on wheels that already are electric cars. The last thing I want in a car is their definition of “fun”.

Like an electric Miata.

Yes! Or an electric GTI. Something small and punchy that can really show off the instant torque. It doesn't even need to be particularly fast, just peppy. You know, a fun car.

Best option for something like that is a conversion of an existing ICE car.

It looks like in America everything is thought around survival. A car here is so expensive that it must be as risk free as possible.
