€18k 🙁 https://microlino-car.com/en/choose-edition
When will we see affordable electric cars?

There's also the Evetta, made by a German company with similar specs and pricing. Both of these models are basically built by hand in such limited numbers that they are unfortunately pretty gimmicky at the moment.

Apparently, it has a sun roof. Kind of didn't expect that for such a reduced car...

Yeah, it's a 600 Euro extra on the base model. They are surprisingly pricey, starting at 18-19k Euros.

This is the weirdest coincidence. I was sitting in the park earlier and a guy pulled up in one of these:
The closest thing I have ever seen in rural Midwest US was a Smart car, or a Reliant Robin on Top Gear. I thought about talking to the guy but he was playing basketball with his kid.
I tried to think of how to look up the car when I knew nothing about it, but Google Lens was my only idea and I didn't want to take pictures of the guy's car like a creep.
So I decided to scroll Lemmy for a couple minutes and landed on here. I clicked your link for the Isseta and that was it. Any other app and I would have assumed my phone was spying on me. Wild.

Was it the Aging Wheels YouTube guy?

I just looked him up. The face is almost exactly the same, but the guy at the park was much skinnier.

Wow that's actually kinda wild lol. I've never seen an original Isetta irl.

I sometimes see them around once a month in swiss cities. There are several colors. I all of them the crumplezone is literally your knees, so me personally wouldnt buy it, at least as long as there are SUVs and bigger cars on the street
