Sounds like....all these internet car reviewers are wankers because they never discuss reliability, they just count cup holders. I don't give a fuck about how elegantly it is designed, will it break, and can it be fixed.

Australia's conclusions about these EVs are yes, and no.

    While that is true and it should be discussed, it is often difficult to assess a new product's reliability unless there's a clear existing track record from the company

    But a company's track record and the repairability of the car should absolutely be discussed in reviews
