The Sony Honda Mobility joint venture has big US market penetration plans for its 'PlayStation EV' Afeela project in the near future. Sony will have 3 new Afeela models on sale in the US by 2028, all direct Tesla rivals.

Personally, I would never buy a car with Sony software. I'd rather not pay for something, especially as expensive as a car, that could, at any future time, have features ripped out of it or lose functionality because a part fails, like when I lost all my saved games progress when I transferred the hard drive from my PS3 that died to a PS3 slim. They are a very anti-consumer company.

The dealer will be marking this up like crazy.

Get rid of that horrible yoke steering wheel.

I think if i get an EV some day, i will go w/ a Sony tbh. I've been living w/ my friends Tesla for the last few months and honestly the experience isnt that great. I'm all about daddy Elon & Tesla as a company but the cars are really flawed and iffy. It makes my Fiat feel like it was built better tbh, and Fiats are like widely considered one of the most unreliable brands in the world. Things in our Model Y just go off all the time, random windshield wipers keep turning on and off, the UI is really mid, handling is kinda mid, paint is extremely soft. Tesla has a lot of cool tech but it all feels like tech thats 60% Beta WIP. Having a car that isnt going to be modify-able means that it needs to come from the factory w/ as little problems as possible.
