1st Gear: Options are good. I get that people want all EV’s, but you can’t make people buy something they don’t want. Better to get more full ICE cars off the road quicker with a mix of Hybrid, PHEV and BEV vehicles.

Depending on how much they actually drive, a PHEV would have been a better financial decision. Deprecation on the Prologue is not going to be pretty and if they don’t drive further than the PHEV range between charges, you don’t save any money on gas vs electric. I guess if you really want an EV, but I would bet that…

Leasing an EV is the way to go on most of them. You can buy, but you might as well lease one and if you like it buy it at the end of the term for less than residual. Depreciation is really really bad on EV’s right now. I am not a proponent of leasing normally, but if you look at EV, it makes too much sense not to…

As long as they don’t go the BMW route and have ridiculously long names, this is a good idea.

It looks like the sleeping platform folds up and down with the 2nd row seats. So, in sleeping position they are not usable, but you can probably put them up when not in sleeping position.

As someone with kids, I cannot say this loud enough. But, fuck that. those things would be broken into pieces in a day, two tops.

Lucid’s have been the king of deprecation for a bit. Even when they were kind of new, they were getting crushed on BAT. $150-180k cars barely breaking $100k on an auction site known for high prices and they were only months old with very low miles with limited availability. They were priced too high from the jump and…

Kaiser Darrin or really any Kaiser. There was one in Fallout and my wife asked me what it was. I didn’t know the model, but said, “Uhh, I think it is a Kaiser”. I would pretty proud of myself for that one, even if it took me a few moments to come up with it.

Yea and not a good one if you ask me. But he gets to go to another more established sinking ship. 

All the head room you want PLUS some!

It was for that sweet sweet SPAC money.

Nearly 30% of Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ? Interesting, that seems pretty high IMO. I don’t really care what the number is, just found that one a bit surprising since that is over 1 in 4.

When I had my Miata and people asked about space for stuff, I always used that joke. “It doesn’t have a roof, I can fit pretty much anything in here!”

But it is different from an OEM. That means they have the ability to add the power and not mess with reliability. Aftermarket tunes you are taking a risk that the internals aren’t up to the task. It means that Ford (and other OEM’s) know that the power is reliably there, they just want to make you pay extra to unlock…

Yes, but most of those were hardware upgrades and installation along with maybe some software tweaks. This is totally software related and locked away unless you pay.

Yea, that makes some sense. I just hate the idea of extra stuff locked behind software that you have to pay to enable from the OEM.

$825 for software upgrade? I know this stuff is coming, but it still hurts to see.

Can’t speak for all cars, but my wife’s CT200 has three modes. Eco, Normal and Sport. They are all a bit different, but not that much. Eco gives you a laggy accelerator while normal is the same with sharper acceleration. Sport changes the colors to red (WOW!) and puts the engine to always on and brings up a tach…

Yep, parental imprint is a real thing.

This feels like some real “1 of 1 Corvette” logic here.
