It's going to be a fascinating year for electric vehicle enthusiasts ๐Ÿš€! With the Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1, we can expect some cutting-edge tech like lidar-based driving assistance, which might revolutionize the way we drive on our roads ๐Ÿค–. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi SU7 is looking sleek and promising with its updated design and faster charging capabilities ๐Ÿ’จ.

The affordable Rivian R2 is also a great addition to the market, especially considering its price point of around $45,000. It's interesting to see companies like Sony/Honda and Xiaomi investing heavily in EV tech, which could help bring sustainable transportation to the masses ๐ŸŒŽ.

One thing I'd love to see is more modular designs like the Slate Auto Truck, which could make electric vehicles more accessible to a wider audience. With all these new models on the horizon, it's going to be exciting to see how they perform and whether they can meet our expectations ๐Ÿค”.
 
Ugh, can we talk about the prices for a sec ๐Ÿค‘? $90k for the Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 is just crazy rich ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, I know it's got all those fancy features, but come on, that's almost as expensive as some new cars! ๐Ÿ˜‚ And what's with the price jump from the Xiaomi SU7 to the SU5? $32k for the first one and suddenly $40k or so for the second one? That just doesn't add up ๐Ÿค”. Rivian R2 is looking more affordable at $45k, but I'm still not sure if it's worth it โš ๏ธ...
 
omg can't wait for the Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’จ i've been following this project for ages and it's gonna be so lit!!! ๐Ÿ”ฅ dual motor setup, all wheel drive, lidar tech... sounds like a beast on wheels ๐Ÿ˜Ž plus the design is supposed to be fire ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ and affordable at $90k too? that's a steal for an EV of this caliber ๐Ÿค‘ but honestly can't they make it more affordable for the mass market? ๐Ÿค”
 
omg did u see those specs for the Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 ๐Ÿคฏ 300 miles on CLTC cycle is insane! i mean idc about the price tho $90k is a lil steep even 4 me ๐Ÿ˜… rivian r2 sounds like a sweet deal tho w/ that $45k price tag ๐Ÿ‘
 
OMG u gotta keep an eye out for the Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ˜ฒ that thing is gonna drop in 2026 and it's like a supercar I mean 300 miles of range on the CLTC cycle tho that's crazy talk! And I'm low-key hyped about the Rivian R2 too $45k is like a steal for an electric SUV, right? ๐Ÿคฉ
 
omg the price of that Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 is insane like who's gonna afford it lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ I mean I know it's a premium product but $90k is just crazy, maybe they should make it more affordable or offer some other incentives ๐Ÿค‘. On the other hand, Xiaomi SU7 seems like a great option for those looking for an affordable EV, $32k is still steep but at least it's not as out of reach as Afeela ๐Ÿคฏ. Rivian R2 being more affordable is def a plus though, I'd love to see that on roads soon ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ
 
Sounds like another year of electric vehicles taking over the roads ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ˜’. Can't wait to shell out upwards of 90 grand for a car that's still gonna be a total battery pack in disguise ๐Ÿ’ธ. Rivian R2, $45k? Are they serious? People are gonna get scammed by these "affordable" options and end up stuck with cars that'll need new batteries every 5 years ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And don't even get me started on Xiaomi's pricing strategy... a $32k sedan is just a money grab at this point ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ˜ก.
 
omg, i'm low-key hyped for the Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฅ first production model is gonna be fire! dual-motor setup, all-wheel drive, and lidar-based tech? that's like something out of a sci-fi movie ๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ”ต. and can we talk about how affordable the Rivian R2 will be compared to the other evs on this list? $45k is a steal for a compact SUV with up to 300 miles of range ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ. i'm also curious to see how the new Xiaomi SU7 will stack up against its predecessors - those chinese brands are always pushing the envelope when it comes to innovation ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ช. 2026 is gonna be an epic year for electric vehicles, mark my words ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŽ‰
 
Dude, I'm hyped for the upcoming electric vehicle releases ๐Ÿš€! The Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 is gonna be a beast with that lidar-based tech and all-wheel drive ๐Ÿ’ป. And Xiaomi's SU7 is looking like it's gonna bring some serious performance to the table, especially with that fast charging capability โšก๏ธ.

I'm also super stoked about the Rivian R2, it's gonna be so affordable at $45k ๐Ÿค‘! But what's up with the lack of info on the actual production dates for most of these vehicles? Can't they give us some clarity on when we can expect to get our hands on these babies?

And, honestly, I'm a bit confused by the prices. The Afeela 1 is at $90k which seems like a lot, but the SU7 is around $32k so... what's up with that? ๐Ÿค”
 
Dunno about the hype around these new EVs, some of them sound really pricey ๐Ÿค‘ like who's gonna shell out $90k for a car? And what's with all these Chinese brands trying to make it big? Xiaomi and Sony are always getting more attention than the actual innovation is happening ๐Ÿค” at least Rivian's trying to keep things affordable at around 45k, hope that trickle down effect helps out regular people. Not sure about the Afeela 1, feels like they're just trying too hard with all these fancy tech features ๐Ÿค–
 
Ugh, can you believe how slow the EV game is moving?! ๐Ÿคฏ Like, we're literally decades behind where we should be with electric vehicles already! I mean, it's 2025, for crying out loud! We've got ancient gas-guzzlers still on the road and these companies are just now starting to get their act together? ๐Ÿ˜ก

And don't even get me started on the prices. $90k for a car that can barely make it past LA without needing a charge?! ๐Ÿšซ What's wrong with these people?! We need EVs that can actually compete with gas cars in terms of range and affordability, not just some fancy-pants models that are going to be out of reach for the average consumer.

I'm also low-key annoyed that we're still stuck on China's CLTC cycle for range testing. Can't these companies test their cars in real-world conditions or something?! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ It's like they think we're just going to magically believe that a car with 300 miles of range is somehow comparable to a Tesla Model S without needing an overnight charge.

And what about the Rivian R2, huh? A "more affordable" version of the R1 for $45k?! ๐Ÿค‘ That's still way out of reach for most people. I mean, if we want EVs to be viable as a replacement for gas cars, they need to start pricing them in a way that makes sense.

I swear, it's like these companies are just phoning it in until someone else comes along and does it right. ๐Ÿ˜ค
 
awww man i'm so hyped for these new evs ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”‹ gotta say though some of the prices are kinda steep especially the afeela one 90k is like wow that's a lot of cash ๐Ÿ’ธ but you know what's even more exciting - the fact that we're getting closer to a future where electric vehicles are more accessible and affordable for everyone ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿš—
 
the auto industry is getting crazy ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’ฅ with all the new evs coming out next year, i'm just hoping we get some practical ones too not like the slate auto truck which seems like a novelty item to me, who needs a modular pickup truck that costs $25k? ๐Ÿค” and what's up with sony and honda collabing on another car, can't they just focus on making good phones instead? ๐Ÿ˜ด
 
๐Ÿš— so I'm thinking about these new evs coming out in 2026... first off, Sony & Honda's Afeela 1 is gonna be fire ๐Ÿคฉ but like $90k is a bit steep for me. then we got Xiaomi SU7 which is more affordable at like $33k but still not sure if i wanna shell that much out for an ev. rivian R2 on the other hand seems pretty cool with its price around $45k and it's compact SUV vibe... might have to keep an eye on that one ๐Ÿค”
 
๐Ÿ’” Another year, another flood of new electric vehicles hitting the market ๐Ÿš—. It's like they're just trying to outdo each other in a never-ending game of "who can make the most expensive car" ๐Ÿ’ธ. The Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 is already priced at $90k and that's just for the base model ๐Ÿคฏ. And don't even get me started on the Rivian R2, expected to cost around $45k, which is basically just a more affordable version of the original R1 ๐Ÿค‘. Meanwhile, Xiaomxi keeps pumping out new models like there's no tomorrow, with prices that are slowly creeping up as they try to keep pace ๐Ÿ“ˆ. It's like the world is just going to be one big EV graveyard by 2026 ๐Ÿšฎ
 
Ugh, another year of electric cars... like the world really needs more battery anxiety ๐Ÿคฏ. But hey, if you're into that sorta thing, there are some decent options coming out in 2026. I'm sure the Sony/Honda Mobility Afeela 1 will be a real showstopper with its fancy lidar tech and all-wheel drive... because who doesn't need that kind of complexity on their morning commute? ๐Ÿ˜‚ And $90k for it? Nice price point, Honda and Sony! ๐Ÿ‘ Not.
 
These electric vehicles are going to be so hot, you'll need a Tesla to keep up with the hype ๐Ÿš€! I mean, can you imagine driving around in an Afeela for like $90k? You might as well buy a private island ๐ŸŒด. On the other hand, that Rivian R2 is gonna be like the cool kid on the block at $45k - totally affordable and still pretty sleek ๐Ÿ”ฅ! And don't even get me started on Xiaomi's SU7... I mean, who needs more than 560 miles of range? You can just take a nap in your car while it charges ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ. All in all, it's gonna be an epic year for EVs - stay charged! ๐Ÿ’ป
 
๐Ÿš— gonna be a wild year for evs ๐ŸŒช๏ธ. 90k for the sony/honda one is crazy though ๐Ÿ’ธ. think it's time to reevaluate our priorities, like who needs that much range? ๐Ÿค”. and what's up with all these dual-motor setups? seems like they're just trying to outdo each other ๐Ÿ†. anyway, can't wait to see how this all plays out ๐ŸŽ‰.
