I sense more 4th gen Prius vibes, styling for the sake of improving coefficient of drag as much as possible. This is how they can get 18.7 kWh/100km in the AWD variant vs. 20.6 kWh/100km in the Ioniq 9 and 21.3 kWh/100km in the EV9. And this is based on Highlander's total battery size since they haven't indicated usable battery size yet.

Highlander XLE AWD - 95.8 kWh total, unknown usable, 511 km range
Ioniq 9 Preferred AWD - 110.3 kWh total, 106.4 kWh usable, 515 km range
EV9 Land AWD - 99.8 kWh total, 96.0 kWh usable, 451 km range

A story came out that Tesla will chew up the initial 24,500 permits to import EV's from China. The (made in USA) Model 3 inventory has disappeared from the Canadian website. As I predicted, we may be seeing Model 3's with steelies and crank windows, priced at $35k.

But then you'd be supporting a Nazi...

Bingo. Sales down 80% in QC - hoping the cheapo 3's go stale, and ruin resale of current cars for that complete "owner satisfaction" pkg.

That's amazing. Deposited into your account and everything?

I've cashed out $26 so far. I would be at $86 with Pion right now.
