Coda Automotive (formerly Miles Automotive Group)

I just finished watching Videos Look Back At The Coda Sedan, Remind Us Why It Failed.

The video's reasonably amusing. At 13:30, he reads off the Engrish off the package for a hand crank flashlight that supposedly comes with the Coda. That was funny.

I found the site he was talking about and the allegedly 40 Codas still available for sale at CodaCars.com - Home.

I've only watched bits of the videos at the below, so far.

YouTuber Discovers A Brand-New, Unsold 2012 CODA Electric Vehicle On A Dealer’s Lot

Looking like a throwback from the 1990s, this 2012 CODA sedan has sat without a buyer for more than a decade but plans may bring it back to life.

It was #33 of "500". I wonder if it had Turns Out Coda Sold Way More Electric Sedans Than We Thought! Recall Notice Says So already done. And, if not, can it get done at this point?

The dealership is over on Stevens Creek Blvd. ("Auto Row" here in Silicon Valley.). It was sitting in their back lot for years. Amazingly, the car seems fully operational. Just needs a 12V battery, tires, and some interior clean up. They are apparently giving it to Kyle for free - once they figure out how to get a title for it.

I have vague memories of that dealer and its location. I never set foot in it nor any of their dealers/showrooms when they were in business.

It's super rare if I ever see a Coda in the wild.

I found the site he was talking about and the allegedly 40 Codas still available for sale at CodaCars.com - Home.

The above site's dead now. I wonder when it finally went dead? Archive.org's newest snapshot is from July 2022: CodaCars.com - Home. At the time, they still claimed they had 40 cars for sale.
