Coda. We’re Here to Stay. Really.

Coda is at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week touting its car as more feature rich than the Nissan Leaf. Yes, don’t laugh. Apparently the fact that the Coda has a trunk and bigger battery capacity is a value proposition thought by Coda to appeal to someone. The problem that a car this small doesn’t have a hatchback – and associated practicality – clearly eluded the non-car guys at Coda.  They’re looking for money as well – we didn’t see that coming. On the upside, at least from a consumer perspective, they are eschewing traditional dealerships (like Tesla) for galleries (like Tesla), although I suspect this has more to do with an inability to register the franchise and attract dealers with such a limited product line – errrr, car.

The deathwatch continues. Fingers crossed…..
