Yeah if you're going to drive around you should know how to use your car before buying it. I do agree this paints Ev's in a bad light but chargers were available, and roadside assistance sucks no matter what you're driving.

To be fair, quite a few vehicles in the last 10 years or so don't come with a spare and don't even offer an option for one. The Chevy Volt is the main example in my mind. I understand both sides of that argument.
ID.4 is one, by the way.

Yeah, it's just really stupid to remove the tow eye from the front... what possible reason could they have for doing that other than literally saving maybe $10/vehicle at the cost of great inconvenience to the owners.

It’s very likely because these units are for the domestic US market and not intended to be shipped by sea.

The main reason (from the manufacturers perspective) for having a threaded eye bolt is for tying down on RoRo ships.
