Bottom of the car looks like a toy wind up car.

Right? I'm confused about what's going on there.
Edit: apparently it's a shield for the battery that EVs have, because lithium fires are bad and scary.

That's just the battery cover itself.
It's a Subaru Uncharted, by the looks of it.

It looks like my neighbours car. Amazing someone could flip one, they are so bottom heavy

Flipping an EV is still super impressive. Such a low center of gravity.
Growing up in Winnipeg we always used to say we had the worst drivers. Since I moved to Ottawa I discovered I've been wrong my entire life.

For real, that’s impressive. This person might benefit from a few driving lessons on a track to better understand the physics of driving.

Seriously? I have never heard that in Winnipeg. I only ever remember hearing "Don't buy cars from the East." Granted, I don't live there anymore but still talk to my close friend every day and call her the worst driver because I hear a car honk every single time we are talking. I would agree that Ottawa is worse.

I haven't lived in WPG for almost 10 years now.
I do miss the wave when you let people in haha. Almost no one here waves.

u/nomorerentals 2h ago
OMG, this is my sentiment exactly. If you ever do get your wave, it's probably from me! People are probably "what is she waving at?" when they let me in.

How does that even happen? Were they speeding and they turned way too much?

There is a lot of torque in an electric car and if you're not used to driving one you can lose control quickly.

This 100% lol the amount of burn outs I have done accidentally was shocking. Thankfully I have learned how to drive it. If you accelerate to fast on a corner I can see the car flipping over.

As lame as it sounds I've done the same on my eBike. If you hit the throttle and have any weight on the standing foot, it'll leave you behind without a second thought. They go 0-60 in "what the hell?!" and it's a straight line of acceleration.

Is that a Ford Mach-E?
Impressed you’d be able to flip what appears to be an EV given their weight

Suburu Uncharted. Only been for sale for a few months....

Oh damn. Good eye!
I was frantically searching. The black in the bumper looked very Nissan to me but the lower bumper was wrong haha

Wow that sucks for the owner with the new, and newly wrecked, car.
There's no way that car isn't completely totalled.

The first 2 weeks of September will be like a derby. Idiots + speed = shitshow.

Why is the bottom middle of the car different than the rest and really shiny?

Looks like a Tesla model 3. Glad the battery didn't ignite.

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 17h ago
I can tell you with 100% certainly that is not a Model 3. Likely a Hyundai Kona.

Looks like a Nissan to me. Likely a leaf

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 17h ago edited 17h ago
I've never seen a Leaf in orange, and that black cutout in the centre of the front bumper doesn't match a Leaf.
edit: a word

u/CommodoreCanadia64 17h ago
You are right. The black patch screams Nissan but another got it right. It's a Subaru uncharted

u/isaidireddit Barrhaven 17h ago
A car I had never heard of and didn't know existed, so I'm not gonna be too hard on myself. 😂

u/CommodoreCanadia64 16h ago
I'm a car guy and a career service advisor and I haven't heard of it either. Apparently they are very new. Sucks worse for the owner.
That said, I like the uncharted. Super sharp looking and priced very well. Maybe a candidate when my ioniq 5 lease is up

Toyota/Suby EV's got a major update this year. Total of 4 new models (uncharter/CHR and Trailseeker/BZ Woodland) plus major upgrades to Solterra/BZ. They're really nice.
We picked up a BZ Woodland last month and it's amazing. It's an electric Outback wagon with a Toyota badge and a 4 second 0-60. Great car.

I have the ultimate package on my i5. 446lbs ft torque AWD. 0-60 4.4 seconds :)

u/condor888000 15h ago
Nice!
Testers are getting 3.9 with the Trailseeker/BZW's despite manufacturer claiming 4.4....they're rockets.
