Yes exactly I thought about this all the time. First location. Very nice shooting. Very nice seen locations and at all moments. Very good job. Sound has improved a lot Jonny. Image quality also did. Overall the whole picture and scenery has been great. Good job team!

I had one of the original 500es! Glad you mentioned that one. It was my first-ever EV, I leased one here in San Diego from 2014 to 2017 for my 60-mile round-trip commute. It was a really fun little car, and with some creative packing, could fit my entire drum set in the back, leaving the passenger seat open. I wish they added DC charging and more range over the years, but they didn't seem interested. Ended up replacing it with an i3, and then a Model 3 after that. This looks like a perfect successor. I kind of hope it makes it back here one day, I might just have one in my driveway again...

Most probably FIAT500e will compete in city car ICE segment together with Honda E as John stated while VW is competing in its own bigger category. No new EV is going to steal sales from each other but rather from ICE versions. That is great since, let's face it, the choice range in EV is far less than in ICE world for now so the more EV choices the better. And by the way, despite drone views for this car made in California for its commercials online, the car itself will not be available for sale in North America unfortunately. So no global audience for now sadly.
