All this EV bashing reminds me of the picture of the Model T being pulled o=
ut of the mud but a farmer and a team of horses and the farmer thinking all=
 along "These things will never catch on."
Anyone who expects a new technology to catch on with a straight line growth=
 curve is not being realistic.? There are many supply chain and infrastruct=
ure issues that need to be worked out and this is a chicken/egg relationshi=
p between these issues and EV acceptance.? Heck, in the early days of gas-p=
owered cars drivers had to stop at the local dry-goods store and buy "clean=
ing solvent" to power their cars.
EV's have many fewer moving parts and hence are more reliable and, except f=
or the battery, are less expensive to build.? And battery technology is evo=
lving as we speak.
But back to the topic at hand.? This new "Triumph" resembles the TR3 in the=
 same manner that a Picasso painting resembles reality. Yeah, some of the e=
lements are there but they are not coherent.? The styling does not inspire =
me, but that is just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Dave
