Here it is! The video six days in the making. You may notice I put Patreon credits at the end of this non-project video. I decided to make a tiny change to the Patreon tier description. Instead of having your names appear at the end of project videos only, I changed it to be "select" videos. Basically, any video I put a lot of work into. Videos like this are their own kind of project.

See you next week with another Coda video!

Thank you so much!! Robert you are my FAVORITE YouTuber of all time. Never stop my dude. Love your quirkiness and enthusiasm for weird cars

Jorg Rademaker

That's the Aging Wheels I love: completely failed car treated with the love it deserves.

To hold the window up use a rubber doorstop, the wedge style. Worked in my jeep for a while till I fixed the back window. Way better than using tape

Wayne Moyer

88 miles of range for $36,000 makes a lot of sense. That's plenty. Why that's equal to the... Saturn EV1. Which cost more in 1991.

Kirk Lane

11:49 in the video: There's where all that Patreon money goes. Love those gloves but they've gotten stupid expensive lately for obvious reasons.

Yet another excellent Video Robert. We have never had many quirky Chinese made vehicles in the UK as you seem to have had in America. Although we have had MG relaunched with primarily Chinese cars that are selling well and a couple of commercial companies.. The Coda reminds me of the front of the Romanian made MK1 Dacia Logan which was also a car we never had here until MK2 form. The Coda certainly seems to fit into your quirky vehicle collection and it is another one I certainly like and if I could I would have liked to own.. Love the videos on both the channels and look forward to seeing more about the Coda and your other projects .

This car probably looked like a really good shot in the dark to investors on paper. 1. Designing new vehicles is expensive and hard, let's just buy this road certified Chinese platform and modify it, it'll be pretty cheap 2. There are off-the-shelf EV components out there, let's use those, they're tried and tested! Except point 1 means they don't have the original tooling and can't make proper adjustments to the platform for a full run, which means it's a poor fit for an EV and way too heavy, with things not fitting quite right. And 2 means you're essentially competing against every other EV manufacturer with the same components, except in a much more boring and heavy body. Ouch.

I love all of these oddball vehicles that you find. In Australia, our regulations are so tight that none of them would pass compliance. I love both these and your Under Dunn videos. Please keep them up. Oh, I slowed the video down at the end so I could find my name in the patreon list (sad, I know). Robert at half speed sounds drunk :P

MrSonicOSG

wait, the second coda model could be called the "Ana-Coda"

Tuomas Haarala

That one is sort of oddball - performance seems quite decent?

Some of the components you showed look suspiciously like the same modules in the Gen1 Chevy Volt. Particularly the charger... It looks identical to the Volt's

There's no shortage of Lear logos under the hood and trunk panel of my Volt too. At least the Coda's onboard charger is in the trunk instead of where GM decided to put the Volt's charger - the right hand side of the front bumper. I'd rather not find out how well that holds up if you get in a front end collision.

It doesnt hold up well. Thankfully it is easy to replace and requires no programming. They fixed this mistake with the Gen2; its charger module is in the trunk.
