No snobbery here.
I might add my wife has one of those 'damn Hyundais', a 21 Sonata Hybrid. The 'damn thing' gets 50mpg in the nice weather and low 40s in the cold. 18,000 miles on the 'damn thing' and not a single problem. We test drove an EV6 and it was an absolutely terrific EV. Nearly bought one.
Some of the predispositions that people still have, usually based on ancient data or experiences, just amazes me.
