You won't like the electric mustang then. It was designed from scratch around a 1400hp engine.

"The only car with a speedometer that maxes out at less than the top speed." Ohh, you haven't been in a '88 Econoline van! Those babies had speedos that topped out at 110, but they went a *lot* faster than that if you had nothing but straight, flat roads in the middle of nowhere to drive through. My dad owned one when I was a kid, and we were never quite sure what speed we actually reached, but the dial did go all the way back around to 10mph by the time we decided to stop driving like idiots. That was a fun story to tell my mom.

Not really, the fit and finish is pretty bad, even for a 2012 car. It's on par with British Leyland cars from the 70's.

I have to say, there is a lot of engineering in that car. Having built a number of electric vehicles in the early 2000s, it's really hard to convert a gas vehicle AND make it look OEM. If they did it for less than $100 million, that is an achievement. Too bad they didn't put it into something more interesting - doing that & focusing on the charging network is basically what made Tesla. I think the thing to do with this is to take the electric bits and stick it into a more interesting body....

This car looks like the generic car picture in every owner's manual or insurance ad in a magazine

Imagine driving your Coda home. You plug it into the wall and as soon as the current flows through the cable you hear a strange noise from the trunk. You open up the trunk and realize that the noise is coming from the sparetirewell. so you remove the trunk carpet there it is; DC/DC playing bells bells

Fun fact! Speedometers that only went to 85 were mandatory in the US for a handful of years around 1980, as part of the NHTSA's implementation of the 1979 law that pinned the speed limit on the Interstate to a horrifically glacial 55 mph until the mid-'90s. My very first car was an '84 Oldsmobile Toronado, which still had an 85-mph speedo despite that particular bit of regulation having been abandoned by '82 (I suppose because GM hadn't bothered to redesign the interior yet). That car had the same habit as your Coda, of being so smooth you could end up going much faster than you meant to go. I don't know how _much_ faster, because of the 85-mph speedo, but I will say that at one point, when I noticed I'd inadvertently pegged it and took my foot off the gas, it took... _some time_ for the needle to come off the peg and start going down. :) Also, the box copy for the flashlight makes me nostalgic for the instructions printed on the envelope that the disposable chopsticks provided by my favorite Chinese restaurant used to come in: "Please enjoy your Nice Chinese Food with Chopstick, the traditional and typical of China glonous [sic] history and cultual [sic]."

We owned Coda #87, purchased in December 2012. It was advertised as 125 miles range. We were able to reach 122 for the top range, but over our 40K mile ownership, it delivered 110 miles regularly. The only time it dropped below that was during a rainstorm, with heavy winds and high 39s temperature, with the headlights, defrosters, and heater all running. That put us at 93 miles range, so the EPA 88 mikes range was garbage. It also accelerated easily to 60mph in 8.5 seconds, which is not neck snapping like our Tesla Model 3, but a very nice acceleration capability, helping us to avoid freeway on-ramp drama. As to heating/cooling the passenger and battery compartments, we had a heat pump in the Coda, which neither our 2917 Audi or 2018 Tesla Model 3 came with. Yes, there were software issues which were not addressed, due to Coda’s bankruptcy, but overall, it was a decent EV. Only Teslas and the RAV4-EV had more range (the RAV4-EV only if charged to 100%, which was not recommended). Also, in the 2 months before bankruptcy, a 50kW CCS DC fast charge connection was tested and it actually fit within the confines of the charge port door. It didn’t make it to market before the bankruptcy, unfortunately, but we were able to gain 23-24 mph charging with the level 2, 30amp GE Wattstation EVSE which came with the Coda for free, so recharging to 100% taking 8 hours is 90 minutes longer than it took our Coda to charge from empty.

If my memory serves me correctly, all of them were sold in Southern California as a dealer wasn't yet established at the time of the LA car show in Northern California where I live. Glad to see that someone actually appreciates it.

I've been a subscriber since 2018 where you were at 92k subscribers. I have watched every single one of your videos and there has not ever been a bad one. Everytime I see the notification bell I get excited. Keep up the Good Work!

Just found this... Man. I wish they still sold these. I always wished I could by a 1989 corrola with electric powertrain. Coda answered my prayers!

OMG yes, I saw a Coda once on Craigslist and I was absolutely fascinated with this little failed start up from my state

I loved the mixer gag, keep up the good work!

That mixer gag was amazing, 10/10

1:49 Pininfarina - I can believe it. I had a 2005 Suzuki Forenza which was also designed by Pininfarina (but a rebadged Daewoo/Chevy/Buick/etc based on the market). Very very similar mirrors and headlights.

Personally I welcome this look. So many car makers feel the need to make their electric cars to stand out, which just has the effect of making the car look obnoxious... I feel its one of those "they were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should" moments.

I saw one of these the other day! Glad that you're finally doing a video on this majestic eco beast Also, my MINI has gutter rails over the doors too, heh

The DeLorean actually had a stock speedometer that topped out at 85, despite the ~110 top speed. (The producers on Back to the Future had a custom speedo made which is what you see in the film.)

I just bought a used 2014 Chevy Spark EV, and I feel like it's all the things the Coda tried to be but with good execution. Good body with DC fast charging, high safety ratings, good fit and finish, "economy" interior, 140 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. That last part is really what made me dish out some extra money for it. It GOES. Well at least compared to my car before it, a 1995 Civic EX (the higher power engine model btw). Not exactly fast compared to fast cars, but balls to the wall for an economy car

17:29 I guess it's time to buy a Coda

Y'know, I _really_ like the aesthetics of this car. If it's engineering wasn't terrible and the company was more than a probable money laundering scheme, I'd seriously consider getting one.

Also, I got you totally beat in "hilarious labels translated from chinese" My robot vacuum had a label that said "WHEN THE UNIT IS IN TROUBLE, IT WILL EMIT A SERIES OF BEES."

That was an entertaining, well-edited, well-written, well-performed video. Congratulations. You got me to spend almost 20 minutes of my life watching a video about a car that’s as exciting as lint. Thus proving hijinx in hypercars isn’t the only means to success. Keep up the good work!

The little things you do when editing the videos makes them very entertaining, I love to spend time trying to figure out exactly how you spliced clips together. Combined with your writing style, these videos are all awesome. And that car sounds very cool on paper, but ends up like a store brand sorta car. Very bland, but still functional.

I haven’t just heard of it, I’ve seen it. In my city. Didn’t have to go far or anything

The hand-crank flash light info certainly did it for me. You had me at "no need any power". Great video!

for most of this, it felt like you were describing my 2015 Leaf (Canadian one with the battery warmy bits...)

How does your Leaf like -30 degrees Celsius with a foot of snow on the road?

@@michaeltutty1540 same as any other car I've ever owned only i don't have to put gas in it :) just over 55 000km on it and battery state of health is at 94%. always parked outside, but also almost always plugged in. And don't get me started on the pre-heat feature! Haven't had to scrape a window since. Lovely!

Can we get a full video on the flashlight?

The model name should have been: Effortless.

That flashlight had some world-class localization.

11:46 i had to stand up and walk around for a bit after that one that was a good one

Maybe the model 2 name would have been the “Rest”

"Coda EV" makes me think of "Yugo GV"

@@bluruckuscrx8124 Well, for me, watching all of these Coda EV videos from him makes me strangely wish I could have a Coda EV.

I appreciate at all the effort put into this video. Particularly the glovebox.

Thanks for a great video! I really enjoy and look forward to watching your videos they're funny and informative! 👍

One of these came up for sale in my area a while back and the seller wanted like $5,000, which is laughable after seeing this video

@@Cresanova Thanks but I doubt that it is a Coda. Maybe he bought a Mullen 700e for comparison purpose.

Thank you so much for also giving metric units! Whenever I watch other American KZreadrs I always have to pause and Google the conversion

KZread couldn't possibly choose a better first video from a channel I've never seen before than this. Top notch writing, sir!
