[TR] Future Triumph?

[Michael Marr]

I’m surprised we have not seen a law requiring EVs to be preceded on their journey by a man with a red flag…

All this EV bashing reminds me of the picture of the Model T being pulled out 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 infrastructure issues that need to be worked out and this is a chicken/egg relationship between these issues and EV acceptance.  Heck, in the early days of gas-powered cars drivers had to stop at the local dry-goods store and buy "cleaning solvent" to power their cars.

EV's have many fewer moving parts and hence are more reliable and, except for the battery, are less expensive to build.  And battery technology is evolving 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 elements are there but they are not coherent.  The styling does not inspire me, but that is just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Hmmm.  Not exactly “no go”, or “EVs are piling up on dealer lots.”

Really?  What’s your source for that little nugget?

Here’s another viewpoint…

Despite what the Biden administration wants, electric cars are a no go.



EVs are piling up on dealer lots as consumers are correctly rejecting them

Great to see & thanks for sharing the concept's evolution from Makkina with BMW.



Will be interesting to see if BMW hits to the e-go button.

First off, had a power outage yesterday that had the servers off the air
for a few hours.  All is back again, bits should be flowing.

And what do you make of this concept car?  If you drink enough gin and
tonics and squint just right, you might see the TR2/3 influence.  But
those wheels!
